Hi. Sorry to hear you don't have a support system. I didn't either at one point. It can be so hard. I was diagnosed eight years ago, late in my life. I suffer from bipolar disorder, agoraphobia, ocd, and gad. I'm stable, happy, peaceful, and calm now due to the right medications for me, and therapy. Are you taking any medications? I take two antipsychotics for my mania, a mood stabilizer, and a low dose antidepressant. I'm not out of it, emotional flat and zombie like, or sleepy all the time. I think it just takes finding the right.medications for you. My agoraphobia used to be so bad that I couldn't leave the house for days, and when I did for only a half hour at a time before I started panicking. Now I leave the house at will. I joined a gym.two
I'm not manic, depressed, or having ocd symptoms. I feel good. I believe you can too. Work with your dr , tell them what works, and what has no effect. Maybe keep a journal of your thoughts, emotions, and behavior. This way you can keep track of any positive, or negative cognitive , or emotional changes in your behavior. I'm always around if you want to talk.
