Hi there, my name is Jess and I'm new here at the PsychCentral forums, but very grateful to be here.
I was diagnosed with BP I 6 years ago. I was first diagnosed with BP II 9 years ago, but the diagnosis was later changed. My biggest struggles with the illness have been depression, irritability, medication compliance and challenges, and anxiety issues. I work full time as a digital marketing manager -- work has always been a mood trigger for me, as well as family, or sometimes I have issues when my day hasn't been as I thought it would be. I also get over-stimulated by crowds, loud talk, people, etc. I try to work with that in addition to exercising (still a challenge with the depression but working on it), monthly therapy session, journaling, etc. One of the biggest things I'm missing right now is support -- the support group I went to for years is during the day, and worked very well during college, but now I can't go -- I'm trying to find a web-based solution that would compliment my web-based life! Perhaps this may be it. Anyway, hope to talk to you all soon. -Jess

Hi, I'm new too, looking for the same thing. I just wanted to say, I so understand the over stimulation thing. I feel like every voice and sound gets louder and more wild in my head till I just can't stand it anymore. I really need to find some better coping techniques for that.

Hello and welcome… I'm new here too (since May) and find many things about my current situation similar to what you've described, especially with overstimulation and needing some support … I hope you find what you're looking for here and that things go well for you.

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