Some elevation in mood today. #Bipolar2 #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

My depression was so mild after my intense hypomania now it’s elevated again. I was so happy walking into Starbucks today and I was flirting with the man who waited on me. I had a risky thought walking around today.

Bipolar blackouts #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #Bipolar2

I just came off of a 5 day hypomania episode. I had lots of delusional thoughts about jobs. I told my group chat that I wanted to be a criminal lawyer, defense attorney, state attorney and a federal prosecutor and I was going work each job 7 days a week and take the highest pay they got from them. Everyone kept telling me that’s impossible to do that and u need a college degree. I didn’t believe them at all. I was talking to my therapist and took there side. I told him I found a lab that will make a cure for my mental illness. I flirted with my therapist and said I find saxophone very sexy and it puts me in the mood then I asked him what puts u in the mood. He said we are not talking about me we are talking about you. I don’t remember anything after that. I texted him did I cross a boundary or was I inappropriate with you and he said you did not do anything inappropriate or cross a boundary.

Living with a bipolar parent

Hi, I've lived my entire life with my dad who has bipolar 2, although he is medicated and a very responsible parent and also feels guilty about me having to witness his episodes, talking bout the matter was a taboo even with my parents, I ended up suffering because of this as I had no one to reassure me or talk to me about my feelings, I ended up creating a shell and I have been diagnosed with both schizoid and paranoid personality disorders, which my psychiatrist believes besides genetics, my childhood has played a huge role in it. As of now I'm extremly suicidal and depressed, I have no way to live separately from my parents and being in my father's presence even if he is smiling is irritating feels dangerous. I am losing my mind and spiraling every second of the day and i have failed multiple attempts. Is there any way to distract me from these thoughts amd give me a peace of mind besides medication? My psychiatrist said I need antipsychotics but I am in an unfavourable situation and unable to take meds. And family therapy is not possible due to my father being sensitive.

I’m new here

Hi my name is Silas. I’m new here someone recommended this sight for me. I tend to feel alone at night. Like I have no one to talk to. It’s just me, the voices in my head and my thoughts. I don’t have a lot of people to talk to at night most people are asleep. So I thought here might be a good place. I struggle with a lot and at night all I can do is overthink. And then I wake up and I put on a fake smile like nothing happened. #Bipolar2 #Bipolar1 #PTSD #ADHD #Anxiety
