I'm fine and then all of a sudden I've crashed again. It just gets old.

I am in therapy. I've been seeing my T for 4 years now. I've been trying to work my way out of it but I always seem to crash. She always gets me to identify the triggers but this time I can't really put my finger on anything in particular. I'm really tired of talking so I don't know how much longer I will go. I wish she and my pdoc could just go away. I like them both, I just don't like having to go to them.

When I started therapy, I started because of ptsd. Bipolar was uncovered in the middle of all of it. It's really hard to manage when the PTSD symptoms are not in control but heck, everything is hard to manage at that time.

SI seems to be my go to. I don't talk about it much anymore. When I talk about it to my closest friend, she calls my T and then I have to go in (money). Not looking for attention and it makes me uncomfortable. People don't really want to hear what you have to say. So I just mostly keep stuff to myself, journal, or come here where there are people who have experienced what I go through.
Ok, you're doing all the right things. Feeling suicidal is tough. I used to feel it often. But once I was put on the right med cocktail and came to terms with the PTSD stuff I haven't felt that way since 2013 or so. I've fought hard in this life and I'm not gonna let my abusers win.

I'm glad you felt better last night. if you want you can pm me anytime.
Thanks for this!
