Nee here. Looking for support
Just joined last night after having a small breakdown at work.
I've been diagnosed for 6 years, always medicated.
My psychiatrist retired a couple months ago so now I don't have one. My family Dr refills My meds now..
I feel so alone when I'm in my lows because only a select amount of people know I have BP. I asked my husband to educate himself so he could watch for signs but he doenst seem to interested.
He is supportive and helps me in my lows but I just feel like he should be diving in and looking out for me more.
I dont like telling people my diagnosis because I dont want to be put in a box or have people feel bad for me or act differently.
I have a lot of regret for not getting help sooner because my children did not have the mom they needed to have for 11 years. It makes me sad to know I wasn't the best for them.
@toughWheel2030 Hi Wheel! Welcome to 7 Cups! I hope you are doing well. I am really sorry to hear about your struggle with BP. I know it must be extremely hard and I'm sorry your husband isn't more supportive. In regards to your children, please know that you were always an amazing mom! We are always harder on ourselves than the truth of the situation. Your children love you and you are so strong! Please know we are here for you anytime! I am thinking of you! 💜
Hey I hope we can bond whenever you are having a depressive episode!
What sort of help woukd you like or that you feel would be the greatest benefit for you?
Hi! I am also looking to connect with fellow BPers. I was recently diagnosed (officially) and also find it pretty isolating. I’m graduating soon from a residential long term mental health treatment center and would like to try and build a community of people to give/get support. I’m always down for chatting and would love to help in anyway I can. Please feel free to reach out anytime ❤️ you’re NOT alone!
