Feeling very low

Hello,

I am new here and wanted to first introduce myself. I'm 28yo wife and mother diagnosed with BPII and PTSD. I may give a better intro sometime later, but for now I feel I just need to reach out.

I've had a bit of a hypo manic last few weeks and have suddenly fallen into a pretty deep feeling of despair. I'm just feeling a lot of pain right now, not particularly associated with anything. I'm just feeling overwhelmed with a sense of failure and defeat. I know this will pass, I just need to reach out.

Welcome Sharron

Hope you find the support and information here that will help you!

Glad you found us

glad you found us

Hi Sharron, welcome to PC.

I"m sorry you're having a hard time right now. I'm glad you are thinking positively enough to know it will pass. I know that sense of failure and defeat, I feel that a lot. It's terrible. I hope you start to feel better soon.

Sharon, I feel that way every single day, with a few ups and downs too, it's hard to come back from either end of the spectrum, I'm usually down. Just deep breathe alot during the day and take your vitamins, i find that helps alot too.

Thanks to those who responded. I still feel low, but I was able to get out of the house for a run, this helps. I've just restarted therapy after a 9m hiatus, I'm finding it difficult. It's hard opening up old wounds, I find it all very exhausting.

I don't know anyone else with BP or PTSD, so I hope this place will give me an outlet to just feel normal about a life so seemingly abnormal.

Cheers
