Bipolar 2 Disorder

I suffer from several mental illnesses. It’s sad to say that my mental illness comes from environmental and genetic. I feel so alone in this great big world. I hate the stigma that comes with mental illness. Especially Bipolar. I have had far too many people associate Bipolar with being a serial killer. Very hurtful. I go through many episodes of deep deep depression. Suicidal thought. I’ve made a plan. But have made a promise to my children I would never do that to them. Which I will keep. I have psychotic features which when manic I hear and see things that are not there. I guess to some this all up I’m not done in a suicidal way but the suffering day to day with the panic from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep.
If God were sitting infront of me, I would tell him I’m done!

Hi everyone, I'm another newbie here. I've been formally diagnosed with ADHD since I was about 11 years old. Unmedicated till I was in my 20s and teaching full time. Diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder about 7 years ago. Diagnosed with Bipolar II last year. I don't have a "formal" diagnosis, but my current psych. physician agrees that I have Autism as well. I also have Visual Snow Disorder (look it up -- you might too!) and a few other unique things. Evidently I "won" the genetic lottery....

Looking for help understanding and learning to control my tendency to go from zero to nuclear in a few seconds during a "discussion" (which I am oblivious to but has driven grown men and women to tears). Also looking for ways to improve my awareness and interpretation of social cues, facial emotions, etc. I am essentially a bull on steroids in an emotional china shop when it comes to interacting with other people. Any ideas, suggestions, resources, information, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

I’m meeting with a mediation specialist on Friday to discuss options for mediation. I’m also wanting to confirm if I have any other mental health issues going on, specifically bipolar 2.
I’m anxious about it but also happy to be seeking needed help.
