hi guys
I really hate when this kind of thing happens. I've been feeling more anxious and definitely agitated recently but not depressed. i feel more alone in my new college, it's my first semester there this spring so making friends is hard, but like i said I'm not feeling depressed.
yet out of the blue, today has been very difficult. feeling frazzled and especially alone, left out (though I know it is not intentional). i hate admitting this, it's making me cry, but suicidal thoughts and the desire to self harm has popped up. i dislike this for so many reasons, but really because I can't find something that really "caused this", you know? There are things going on in my life that are upsetting, but I don't find a correlation at all. I'm not having the thought process "because XYZ has happened, I'm going to kill myself". why does this happen???? it's been so long. can't regress like this. just need support n maybe some advice guys. thanks

Anxious, lonely, agitated...


With bipolar that can easily equal suicidal thoughts, it doesn't need a specific formula to rear its ugly head.


Anything remotely stressful or nothing at all, can tip us over the edge.


I've learned long ago to not fret about cause and correlations, to rather just accept that it is, and ride it out as best I can.


Sometimes its the only way for me to manage because I'm very logical, and bipolar is illogical at best.


Be kind to yourself, show yourself some empathy for the difficulties you're experiencing, and remind yourself that this too shall pass.


You've been here before and survived, you can kick this beast in the teeth again.


Take care

Me too. Life is funny. One day dark and out of the blue an event changes everything.

Maybe the kindness of strangers, it's hard to say. Be on the lookout for something good.
Feel better.
