What do you do when you have PTSD and Bipolar?

I feel like they interfere with each other. When I’m triggered it can send me into a mood episode. When I’m in a mood episode it can trigger the PTSD. I have a life event coming up in 2 weeks and I know I’ll be triggered but I don’t want to be sent into a major mood episode either manic or depressed. So far things have been pretty good. What could or should I do? Anyone else with these conditions, what have you done during major events?

Thanks everyone. And in case you’re curious, no I cannot skip or not attend the event. I appreciate all of you. Blessings.

Just tired of trying

Apparently I don't have a doctor anymore - he moved to another city a couple weeks ago and no one told me. And I probably don't have a therapist anymore either after this morning (see previous post). That's too much for one day.

I just looked through all these mental health resources that are allegedly available in my area, but I don't qualify for most of them and nothing I do qualify for provides anything more than "information sheets" or crisis services. What if you're in between those two extremes and just need help and support? What am I supposed to do?

I'm just so tired.

I moved back to my home country 2 years ago so that I could access mental health supports in my own language and that were accessible with my insurance. It turns out mental health services here aren't very well resourced (and therefore lacking) and Covid shut down so much that I just feel at a loss.

How am I in basically the same place I was two years ago after trying so hard to access services and get the help I needed? Is this just what it's like? Should I just expect to never get the support I need and just muddle through for the rest of my life? That just makes me feel even worse.

I am confused #confused #Helpplease

As I wrote in the title; I am confused. Confused about myself and my mental health. It's been a few weeks I noticed I always fake smile, I often cry for little things, I hate myself and I hate my life.
I don't know if it depression or anxiousness and so it makes me so confused...
I even noticed it wasn't maybe new. All the bad thoughts I have in my head were there since my birth or at least a few years.
But my life isn't miserable or bad, it is very normal and nothing is wrong. And the fact that disturbs me is (I think) because it's too normal or because people (family, friends, classmates...) always reproach me so much for little things.
I try to plan things for the future but I always abandon thinking it's useless.
I feel like every second, minute, hour, day, my heart tightens a little more.
I also hate myself, I find myself clumsy, clingy, cringy, and annoying.
But it's not new at all.

Anyway, I wanted to share this to take some weight off my heart.
I hope to find someone who feels the same way.

How to deal with wearing a mask?

Please no rude comments, Im already struggling enough with this.

I have anxiety and trouble breathing already because of that, not to mention masks make me dizzy and just send me into a whole other level of panic.

Doctors offices have finally started seeing people in person again where I live but they all require you to wear a mask, Ive ended up missing two appointments already because I cannot handle it, I have tried everything I can think of to calm myself down but cannot get past the panic and feeling like I cant breathe.

Any advice?
