I have been on meds for nearly a year now and I am feeling pretty stable. The only issues I am dealing with now is mostly fallout from my last manic episode. My girlfriend of two years dumped me and I went on a huge spending spree. I am just having some trouble dealing with that stuff.
Has anyone else been in this situation? What happened and how did you deal with it? |

There are ups and downs in every day life even to those who are not bipolar. Life becomes just a bit more intense when you add bipolar. Which doesn't deny the validity of your feelings, take care of yourself, baby yourself. That is my suggestion. You could read a book, take a bath, go to the movies, call a friend. Relax and be mindful of your surroundings whether it be the smell of spring flowers or the bird outside.

I'm still in the process of dealing with my last episode...and it's a year later. But things are starting to fall into place now.

Time. Time is the only thing that really helps me get through manic fallout. Time to get over the relationships I burned. Time to figure out who I am now. You will get your feet back under you. You'll be ok. It just takes time.

I'm still dealing with consequences of my last major episode, and that was over 2 years ago. I can do some pretty stupid stuff sometimes... It's hard to believe it even happened, but it did. I lost a couple good friends, and a lot of trouble at work which i'm still dealing with.
There's nothing i can do about what happened, and i've beat myself up with regret way too much. I'm trying to just accept it, and take responsibility for my actions. Now i go out of my way to be a good friend so i can keep my relationships. And i stay on meds, see my pdoc, etc to prevent that kind of episode from happening again.
