Bipolar 2 Disorder

My depression lasted only 4 days. Gratitude, self comfort and self care helped me through it. There is always light at the end of the tunnel you just have to find it. Thinking of my son helped me out.

I had depression for 4 days. It started in therapy because we were talking about trauma. I still feel shame about it. I still remember the threat he said to me if I told. I cried myself to sleep that night. I got 3 hours of sleep that night. My depression continued but I still went to the museum with my mom but I was on the verge of tears because my mom is older and I am afraid of losing her. I decided to enjoy the glimmers in my apartment. The beautiful candles I put on, a hot shower and my hot chocolate. I just cozy up with my blanket. I even reached out I’m shocked I did that. Friday same depression but glimmers and self care helped me get through. Saturday was bad I had paranoid and delusional thoughts about someone in my group was trying to have me replaced as an admin and it wasn’t true. Sunday was less of depression but I didn’t sleep at all so my mood is elevated. I just focus on self care, gratitude and self compassion to help me through

Hi, my name is Karen Eklund. I'm 43 years old with 4 beautiful children 21, 18, 9 and 7. I'm here because quite a few reasons. My brother had schizophrenia and committed suicide due to his mental illness in 2022. My daughter that I raised from birth to 14 (she is now 18) decided to stop all communications with me due to narcissistic, triangulation and alienating father and overbearing stepmother who treated my daughter as if she birthed her and slowly inched out every part of my entire family's side from her life, not just me, but starting with me, including 3 siblings all on our side of the family because we have mental health challenges. I know people say things like this but oh, if you knew the story of my life and truly understood who these two people are, you would agree, truly, for my daughter's sake, they shouldnt have been introduced into her life. I'm new here, so, if I could say how I really felt, I would probably be immediately kicked off, lol. But anyway, sadly, I had to grieve her for many years before I had to grieve the death of my best friend and brother who committed suicide due to his mental health. I have my youngest daughter who is 7. She is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I myself have suffered since I can recall, probably 1st noticed around 22, when my 1st daughter was born, when I began cutting then I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, OCD and generalized anxiety disorder. Since then I have been diagnosed with ptsd, post partum, bipolar 2 disorder, substance abuse disorder along with dual diagnosis, adjustment disorder with mixed emotional features and I have been admitted on more than one occasion to a psychiatric facility for suicidal ideation and attempt. I have sought therapy and have done alot of work on my self, been in group therapy and just in general looked for any and all things that can help me keep joy in my life and keep a happy life

Years ago my dad took me to a dietitian and they put me on this weight loss pill called Adipex and it damaged my whole face with deep acne scars even worse when I stopped taking the pill a few years later I gained back more weight than i was before. My highest weight has been 190 pounds. My dad is really bothering me about my weight. I am on Mounjaro right now. I do want to lose all the weight permanently but my face is damaged and I have been to more than one different dermatologist. It looks like there are holes diged into my face. He wanted to put me back on the same weight loss pill that damaged my skin and I had to fight him. It is so annoying because he thinks he knows everything that is why I don’t always listen to him or my mom because I feel like they don’t always have knowledge about stuff even though my dad is well educated; my mom doesn’t have the most education and worked in retail her whole life. I am not even the prettiest girl even when I was 90 pounds; I didn’t like the way I looked. All the really good looking attractive guys always turned me down and never really payed interest me. I have been called ugly so many times.
