Hey guys it's been awhile. Well it's official I've been diagnosed with Bipolar II Hypomanic/mixed features. And I also have Anxiety "unspecified" Meaning I pretty much have every anxiety disorder in the book. Go figure. I have GAD "general anxiety disorder" according to my therapist. Also PTSD and social anxiety. Mostly OCD too. I have all kinds of bad luck lol. Well I found a really good counselor. She's been kind to me so far. They want to treat my bipolar and anxiety so I can get my life back on track. I also have a question. I'm a orange belt in Karate. Do you guys think I should pick it back up? I know it helps with discipline. It might help me with my s if I stick with it. Martial Arts is the only thing I'm good at. I feel really confident when I'm at the dojo practicing it. It also helps reduce anxiety and stress. I need to exercise. I don't want to sit down and lay in bed all the time doing nothing all the time wasting my life away. Finally got a job so I don't want to miss that up either. If I get back in training should that help calm my mood swings when my psychiatrist gets me on the right medication? And isn't Karate a form of meditation as well? I have a good reputation with my school and they really want me back. I just don't want the Bipolar getting in the way but I heard martial arts helps you cope with Bipolar and stabilizes your mood and emotions. If anyone has bipolar and takes any form of martial arts please give me some advice. Thank you. I'm an orange belt. I want to work my way to black belt. Thanks. Also forgot to say I have panic disorder. So I have to take my mind off stuff and find hobbies. My therapist wants me to find a hobby to do. I'm really good at Karate. Should I take it back up? Serious question. Thank you. I got allot of stress so I thought the Karate might help me focus.
