And think that even us with bipolar type 1, like me, have our own "flavors" of the disorder. In the end, the right treatments (therapeutic and medications) are what count so that we may be healthier and happier. As for you not being around as much, I do hope you aren't stepping away only because you need more support than can give. We all sometimes need more support, and that's OK. You've been very supportive since you came here. It CAN be time for you to ask for more of it. But if you need to concentrate on other things, away from here, it's understandable. I do wish you wellness in your mental health journey. |
Yes, that is my view as well, one can have depression one "place" at the spectrum and "highs" at another "place".
It is not only the MI that bothers me, but my physical diseases as well + that the winter has been strong this year with both snow and much rain. The winter period has been so much darker than usual. I also think it is a point to mention that I think the fact that I started to have massages made it painful to be me because muscles can hold a lot of feelings. Manipulate the muscles and the feelings can be manipulated as well. Some old sorrows can feel as new ...
I have become shorter and my muscles have reacted to my skeleton not being as it was before. It was found out today that I have an inflammation in one of my shoulders and that I need to do some specific exercises for about three months to get rid of the pain.
Oh yes, I could need a lot of support for the time being. I feel that it is hard to be me.
I am not going to stop being here. I will only come more seldom. It takes a lot of time to use this forum. I am European, a Scandinavian actually, and to translate my words into English/American can take some time. I need to focus on the way I live my life and get rid of my isolation because of depression. So less computer and a more social life in the outer world is the recommendation from my therapist. I am actually advised to let myself be surrounded by people who give me good feelings (in the outer world).
There is another "thing" to mention. I am going on vacation to Spain (Malaga region at the Sun Coast) in the middle of April and I need to get my depression down before that.
Thank you for asking, Soupe du jour!
I hope to read this didn't take too much of your time. You need your time to be ready for the moving.
