New to the group

Hello all, I’m Kat and I have a few challenges so I thought I’d come find my people as well as be a cheerleader for those who are struggling. I have C-PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and some symptoms of bipolar 2 disorder (they can’t say yes or no on the bipolar because the symptoms could be the C-PTSD and Borderline. all three disorders and all symptoms are covered by an umbrella cause - prolonged, consistent trauma. To top it off, I also was diagnosed with anxiety, panic disorder, and akathisia. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome and long COVID, thanks to having been positive for COVID 5 times to date. While trying to diagnose the CFS, they discovered I have asthma and a vocal cord disorder. I am a mom of 6, a wife of a man who could not possibly be anything but an angel, I’ve been in Human Resources for over twenty years, I am a trauma informed life coach and working on starting my private practice, and I recently became published author.

Knowledge leads to better Advocation

When I went through chemo+radiation for cancer, the after effects I was told could be temporary, are chronic.

I learned #Advocacy

I research my illnesses daily, because learning is constant.

Just started mood disorder drugs

Hi.I just stared lamotrogine 200mg, seroquel 25mg at night for sleep and wellbutrin 150mg. I'm also doing Ketamine Therapy. I suddently became very depressed, suicidal thoughts. I was diagnosed with bipolar 2. Any suggestions on medicine that helps with my mind racing. It feels like my brain is on fire.

Fresh Game

Hey to all~ I'm Jess. I'm here to find support. I'm Bipolar 2; Hypomanic and I also suffer from C-PTSD. {{C-PTSD is frequently comorbid with bipolar disorder (BD), and this overlap is strongly associated with an increased risk of suicide}}

I look forward to meeting others who can understand what I deal with everyday.##BipolarDisorder #MightyTogether #PTSD #Grief #ADHD #MoodDisorders #SuicidalThoughts #Hypomania
