Living with Bipolar Disorder: Psychosis #BipolarDisorder #Psychosis #Schizophrenia

Here’s a link to a blog I wrote explaining the basics about Psychosis. I haven’t included any off my personal experiences with it as I believe that there is a multitude of different ways that you can be impacted by it, and the causes that can affect the onset of it are varied and complex.

As always, if you have any questions or comments about the topic, please feel free to reach out in the comments section below.

Living with Bipolar Disorder: Psychosis

Psychosis is when people lose some contact with reality. This might involve seeing or hearing things that other people cannot see or hear (hallucinations) and believing things that are not actually…

TRUE or FALSE: I find it difficult to talk about my depression with others.

Talking about mental health can be really challenging, especially if you’re not used to being vulnerable with others. On top of that, there’s often stigma around opening up about conditions like depression.

It took me years to even come to terms with the fact that I needed help. It was uncomfortable to admit that I couldn’t do everything on my own. But after finding resources and people who made me feel safe (The Mighty being one of them!), it became easier to share my story and begin therapy.

What has your experience been like?

DOLLS FOR COMPANY #Homebound #Disabled #Loneliness

I bought these large dolls & have them sitting in my living room (where I spend my time) and they're great company. I'm housebound, & get a bit lonely, & between my cat & these doll friends here with me, well, it really helps. #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #Bipolar2 #Disability

Feeling like this depressive slump will never ease up!
I've tried distracting myself with all sorts of stuff. Reading, crochet, colouring in, drawing, household chores, meditation. But I can't seem to concentrate on these tasks. My mind is all over the place. I try to just observe my mind and what it's doing, but I get hooked on the thoughts.

My mind is not my master, I am the master of my mind.
Well that's what I keep telling myself anyway.

Schizoaffective disorder

So I have schizoaffective disorder. It's not a fun disorder to have. I feel like a surfer riding the waves of it. Currently in a depressive funk. I tends to hear and see things that are not there mostly shadow people and the voices have only recently just stopped. I put that down to the medication I'm on. My current issue is that I kind of miss the voices, I'm so used to them being there. Now that they are gone I find the silence a little unnerving. And I'm paranoid that the voices are going to come back ten fold and punish me for taking medication.
Any advice or well wishes welcome.
