Hi, my name is Griffin25116. I'm here because I am an advocate for awareness and prevention of suicide and mental health and wanted to join more communities involved in the same. I've been diagnosed with Bipolar 2, Complex PTSD, OCD, and Major Depressive Disorder myself.

Here’s a link to a blog I wrote about what Bipolar Depression is to me and my explanation of it. Let me know if you agree or have any other experiences with it.

I've just recently discovered COLORING apps! I tap,tap,tap the color in, & it's really stress-reducing. Helps me cope & get thru my Anxiety & the many Acute Stressers I live with. These are just 4 pictures I've done. It's from an app "Gown Color". I found the Many many horribly invasive adds too much to take, & were increasing my stress. A waste-right? Yeah, so I choked up $52 year subscription. But I figure, it's worth it for the benefits I get throughout each day . I love the fashions on this app. Beautiful gowns & dresses. I used to love to dress - to dress sharply. Now I live in PJ's & loungewear, unless a visitor comes for an hour or two. With #Fibromyalgia - the #ChronicPain & #ChronicFatigue that goes with it, I need to be as comfortable as I can. Most clothes are either uncomfortable or just plain painful to wear all the time.its it's fun to get to see these beautiful fashions turn colorful, as I tap away my #Anxiety . #PTSD #Depression #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Bipolar2

I enjoy looking at mind bending patterns and pictures as a welcome distraction from the daily battle with the Bipolar. I find it very therapeutic and relaxing and it inspires me to try and draw the image myself. I know this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but it is something that you could try If you wanted to see if it works for you too 👍

Here’s a link to a blog I wrote about the experiences of Bipolar episodes and the change from high to low, and vice versa.
The name of this group got me thinking, maybe conquering our mind isn’t a case of overcoming the situations it arises for you, but to simply accept them and move forward in tandem with them.
Hope you enjoy the blog and if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out in the comments section. 👍

Hi. I am not sure what is causing me the most trouble right now. Maybe it’s my BPD? My severe anxiety? Bipolar II? My autoimmune diseases being in a flare? Probably all of the above. I just feel really alone and sad right now. I don’t have any irl friends anymore as they are no longer living. I’m having a hard time tonight. It’s been getting worse over the last couple of weeks. It’s to the point I am struggling to even pretend that I am okay (a trick I mastered 40 years ago). # # #Bipolar2 #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Anxiety #CPTSD #Fibromyalgia #sjogrens

I have been living with fibromyalgia since 2007. The pain is always there in one form or another. Drs just don’t believe in it or care to help you. Some just think it’s all in your head. I found the best place to go is a pain management Dr. Does anyone have any tips or self care ideas? I use my heating pad the most to help with the pain or I do crafts to distract myself. I’m on no medications or getting any injections as my Pain Management Dr has retired so I’m back to square one. #Bipolar2 #Anxiety #Fibromyalgia #BackPain
