Music 2h

Music

I'm still not entirely sure how to use this... Is it a blog? A forum? A void to scream into? Whatever it is, I'll take it 😁

I'm having a bit of a low run at the moment. It's Autumn in Australia, and the cold always makes me curl up into a little ball of depression, no matter how hard I fight it.

One thing that helps, no matter the season, is music.

So today, I choose to do some karaoke. It's online, and I can share or not share, so I'm not surrounded by people, I don't have to be filled with the feeling of failure when someone does a song effortlessly, while I struggle to nail Happy Birthday. I can just sing. It's so freeing. And as long as I don't get too hard on myself, it's rewarding and fun.

I feel like I don’t get attention and I feel like people don’t pay interest in me

I don’t get love from my parents. All they do is feed me pills to keep me stable. I have always been bullied and rejected. I feel like no one relates to me because I have been in and out of mental hospitals. It started when I was 9 years old and now I am 27, still seeking mental help but haven’t improved at all. I have always been left out and by myself. I feel like a failure and not good enough. I am not one of the drop dead gorgeous girls that men run after. I never even had one good looking man ask me out to eat and all the boys I ever liked said I was ugly or rejected me. I feel like I don’t get treated good sometimes, I want to be treated better and be more important. I would cut myself all over my arm. It gets to the point that therapy doesn’t even help because what can I do if people are treating me this way? I don’t like the way I look either. I don’t fit in with society at all, I rather be on my own anyways.

Living with Bipolar 2 Disorder

Having suffered with symptoms of bipolar 2 disorder for over fifteen years, my hope in making this piece for See Change is to give people some understanding of how it feels in the different phases of this complex mental health illness. From the deep despair of the manic depressive stage to the idealistic highs of the hypomania, I will shine some light on the experience of going through these polar opposite states.

I will also compare these extreme states to the feeling of relief, balance and wellbeing that comes with being in recovery and the different ways, from my own experience, in which you can apply to your own life to help you attain this.

sharing these experiences are to give hope that no matter how long you are suffering with symptoms or how many times you have tried to recover, I am proof that not only is it possible to get your symptoms under control, and at a manageable level, but you can learn to live side by side with this challenging mental health illness, and with a bit of patience, trust and commitment to yourself, you can also have a thriving life and make your dreams come true.

Can't sleep vent 😕 #Allergies #Bipolar2

So I'm up at 3am and I have to work tomorrow morning. Thankfully I can work remote so I can hide that I'm feeling under the weather.
The seasonal changes have literally affected my sleep. I have allergies to tree pollen it seems. Allergies to various air pollen/ spores.
I was pretty stubborn and should have just taken the antihistamine last night.
But I already take daily medication, and my stomach has been irritated lately so I really didn't want to add another thing.
Fingers crossed I get some sleep!!
