I've never done this. I'm bad at sharing my feelings and experiences with people, but I'm sorely lacking for support in my life. I've had a rough and tumble, up and down , extremely wacky go at life. Finally after very seriously trying to burn my world that the ground last year, I faced the music that something was very wrong with me on a chemical level. Ugh. I'm several doctors and one very compassionate therapist in and admitting that i am in fact bipolar and struggling. Apparently it's bipolar 1 with propensity towards mania over depression and a sprinkling of psychosis. Thankfully that last part is mild, super terrifying but mild. I have no idea how to relate to anything or anyone or even my self anymore! Everyone has some opinion or advice as if they have ever been in this brain or situation before. My therapist is an angel, but I feel like I need to reach out to people who have been where I am. So hi! Let's share some things, because I'm tired of feeling alone!

Hello Krocodile, and welcome to PC! Most of has been where you are at. We learned to control our moods through meds, some not, and learned how to deal with life through therapy. How long have you been diagnosed and on meds?
Don't worry about talking on here, once I got used to it, you can't shut me up! Hope to hear more of your story and that life starts treating you better real soon.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
