Why I Keep My Bipolar Disorder Secret at Work (www.theatlantic.com)
Last winter, I was declined by five health insurance companies. I am 26, do my preventative screenings like clockwork, and have no physical health problems. As my boss told me when I started working at a small start-up a few months ago that has no group health plan: “You’re young and healthy, I assume you’ll have no...

This was before I got on Lithium, since then I’ve been completely stable. But looking back at these graphs it’s quite frightening

Lithium vs other meds
Hi all,...
Loss of interests
I used to be a knitting addict. Almost two years ago, I just stopped. Like a complete halt.

Having quite a few bad days
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....
I think I'm starting to swing....
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. 😔
