Sorry this post is several days late, I had covid with major brain fog and completely forgot to post it. So, that’s how my life has been going. I honestly can’t complain because I was able to take time off work to fully recover. Nowadays not everyone can afford that luxury. I’m doing well other than some remaining fatigue. Happy to be back!
I’m really glad they have this new drug, but what we also need is proper screening for postpartum depression and bipolar. I was never screened for it, and I had it hardcore. Wish I got the help I needed back then.
Medication, Exercise, Meditation, Diet, and Therapy?
This comment is very spot-on! There are no easy shortcuts here. You have to work hard to manage mood swings. Medication was the biggest help for me followed by all of the above. I highly recommend finding a support group, there are plenty of online ones (just filter by “Bipolar”).
