I hope I can discuss this topic with people that are knowledgable and strong enough.

I've come to realise that this is a part of the Bipolar Depressive Episode that a lot of us battle with.

I'm not talking about being an immediate danger yet, but just needing some support and understanding.

I am battling to find someone in my life that I can talk to. People either haven't got any experience and don't know what to say/how to handle the situation, or they have the experience, but the topic is too triggering for them.

Am I the only one that gets to a place where I feel I need to talk about these urges, to get an objective overview and some support? I just need someone to walk next to me until these urges go away - and they usually do after a few hours.

Or do you have some really good self-help tips up your sleeve that you can fall back on without becoming a burden on others?
