BP2. I’ve been in a depressive episode for almost 2 weeks now and I just can’t fucking deal right now. I run my own business and I’m ready to fire one client and to tell another to take their project elsewhere. I know, I KNOW I should not be making decisions like this in this state, but I just can’t handle it anymore. I...

Hello, fellow bipolar bears! What’s happening in your lives? Do you need to vent? Celebrate? Just not feel so alone? Share to your heart’s content here.

i started smoking cigarettes a while ago and noticed i get very relaxed when the headrush kicks in obviously i don’t want to make smoking a habit, should i ask my doctor about getting back on ritalin or something or would that make manic episodes worse i already take geodon so i should at least be a bit sedated

Day one I pretty much slept all day. Day 2 I’m just irrationally fucking angry....

Your contribution is what makes it thrive, so please share your thoughts....

Hi all,...

I used to be a knitting addict. Almost two years ago, I just stopped. Like a complete halt. If I recall correctly I think I started taking Lamotrigine around that same time to counteract the beginning signs of TD. I stopped drinking last summer and watched for months as sober people posted how they started having hobbies again....

I’ve been in therapy for 10 years, and with my current therapist for 4 of them. I love him and he’s great, and don’t get me wrong therapy is a life saver, but I recently hung out with a childhood friend and we talked about some deep things. My therapist is a pro and doesn’t offer advice other than helping perspective...

Share what you wish, we are here for each other!

How is everyone doing? Feel free to discuss any topics!

My mood has been hypercycling for a while. But today really sucked, my favorite person that I live with got pissed at me for a reason I still don’t know. Has also been very stand offish with random moments of closeness like we usually have. The whole while stopping things we were doing together to do them with their bf...

Hi, Im dungeonsoup. I’m someone who’s migrated to Lemmy from Reddit due to the recent events. I frequented the /r/bipolar subreddit for a bit but I have not been on reddit in about a month now....

Serious post today. I’ve been waking up at 3- 3:30 every morning this week. Wide awake. Can’t tell anyone else. They don’t understand. 😔

I had someone today make a snide comment when things weren't going right running a task at work and now I am having a major depressive episode. At least that's what I think is happening. Even though I have people reassuring me that I am doing a good job I am really in a bad spot.

This is a heartbreaking tragic disease....

ive flunked out twice already and very nervous about going back to school i tried to pick a program im very interested in and just a certificate program to learn the skills and maybe the teachers will know of some jobs i can do after i complete the program any advice on not having another mental breakdown halfway through the...

Hi all,...

I just need to rant to those who know: I’m having a bad side effect with one of my meds when taken too close to eating (major RLS for two hours) so I skipped and missed two doses now. Today I’m back at work, in a foul mood and hating life. Now I realize why. DUH. To top it off I see my Psych this afternoon for my quarterly...

Weekly discussion of new or impactful music you’ve been listening to. Please share songs, albums, or artists!

My anxiety is pretty bad today so I want to ask a question. What do you do when you are anxious to try and soothe yourself?...

I had been using a mood tracker app many years ago… and due to my lack of good habits, I deleted it a while back too. Now (after horrible sleep for weeks) I’m wanting to get more diligent and everything I’ve downloaded wants a subscription with little to no time to try out. What do you use and works well? (iPhone please)

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good week, but this one was alright. Not amazing or anything, but just… good?...

I have a few friends in my life who have seen me manic, depressed, etc over the years. At this point we’ve largely fallen out of touch and I’m better handling my illness but I still want to tell them. I’m not sure why, maybe just to spread awareness I suppose.

Would people be interested in started weekly threads sharing music, TV shows, or movies that we’ve been listening to/watching or has been particularly impactful?
