@survivorguilt welcome to MSF. I am sorry to hear you are experiencing mental health challenges. I can hear some anxiety in what you say which is totally understandable.
I can speak of the experience of a friend that I witnessed close hand. They had mood swings and were diagnosed as bipolar. Sometimes they were totally depressed just wanting to lay in bed and sometimes they would cycle out of that and start talking repeatedly. They had a racing mind. They could not focus they just wanted to keep talking and talking. But they were not connected to the same reality most people are connected to.
They needed professional help but refused until they walked into the police station to report an imagned crime that never happened and they talked to them for hours. They finally brought her to a psych hospital to get treatment. Medicines helped them but they also needed ECT Electro-Convulsive Therapy.
They got better but they still have the tendency to start cycling again with their moods if they go off their meds.
What medical options are available to you?
