Bipolar 2 Disorder

Hi everyone. Here is a cute diamond art picture I just finished. I finally figured out how to add a photo. I’ve already done 70 diamond art paintings. I do them when I’m in pain or am anxious. #Fibromyalgia #Bipolar2

A little over 6 months ago I began making these fun teired themed displays. Here is the first one I made # Bipolar2 #chronic Migraines #Anxiety #occipital Neuralgia

I recently got into a car accident and totaled my car. I’m okay physically — but emotionally, it’s another blow on top of everything else.

I haven’t been working the last couple of months after leaving a harmful job environment that mirrored the emotional neglect and exclusion I’ve experienced for most of my life — especially from my family. Even though I know I made the right call walking away, it doesn’t change the fact that I still live in a society where survival often depends on tolerating trauma. Now without a car, I’m being forced to rely on my mother — someone who has repeatedly invalidated, blamed, and emotionally hurt me. And I’m spiraling.

Today, something as small as a ride to the store turned into a full-on blowout because I tried to express a basic boundary. As always, I was told I’m being disrespectful, that it’s my fault — a script I’ve heard since I was a child. I’m including something an AI wrote about the interaction because it explained the dynamics better than I ever could. I’m neurodivergent — autistic, ADHD, and possibly misdiagnosed bipolar 2. But honestly, I believe complex PTSD is the real root. I grew up being labeled “the problem” when in reality I was just a kid who needed understanding, not dismissal.

This crash has left me not only without a car, but without a sense of safety. I’m terrified of what happens next. I’ve been out of work, I’m low on money, and I’m scared of becoming homeless. And as much as that terrifies me… part of me feels like it might be less damaging than relying on someone who continues to emotionally harm me.

Right now, I don’t have friends. No real support system. I’ve reached out for help through hotlines, doctors, and therapists — and often just feel invisible. Like no one really gets it. Like I’m shouting underwater.

So I’m posting here. Not because I need advice or to be told how to fix it, but because I need to know if anyone else understands this kind of pain — the trauma of being forced to choose between abuse and survival. The isolation of being misunderstood by everyone, even professionals. The heartbreak of being gaslit out of your own reality.

If you’ve ever gotten out, I’d really love to hear from you. Or if you’re still in it — you’re not alone. I just need to believe I’m not either. #PTSD #ADHD #ASD #AutismSpectrumDisorder #invalidation
