This is me, new here
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and haven't been eager to return to therapy, but I'm dealing with another manic episode that's affecting my social interactions. I have BPD and micropsychosis, which means I hallucinate when I don't get proper sleep, eat well, or manage my stress. Ironically, I have generalized anxiety, so nearly everything triggers stress. Physical activity helps calm me, but I often lack the motivation to do it. I feel trapped in my own mind and wish I could be kinder to my husband. My communication skills are lacking, and every word feels like an attack. Writing things down helps, but it's still complicated.
Thanks for understanding.

I find being bipolar exhausting. Sleep is hard even with medication. I have just started experiencing anxiety. It is totally debilitating
Hello Amethystmystic. I resonate with a lot of what you said. If you ever want to talk, I’m here to listen ☺️.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1997. Recently I have been hearing voices. This started in the fall of 2022. Most of the time they are single words like "***" and "Ever". Do you hear voices?
Hi Amethystmystic,
I hear you it’s a hard journey- recovery. But you have to build a recovery plan. Work with your support system and formulate a plan. Better medication, build a routine. Do the right thing even if it’s tough and even if you are a screw up. At least try and that would give you some peace. It’s a long marathon and there’s really no easy fix. Get some loved ones to support you and monitor your recovery plan and ensure you stay on course.
The last thing you need is another lecture about all this but I really believe there is no other way. The only way out is THROUGH! So may the almighty spirit give you the strength y need to navigate this wretched path and see the light at the other end. Do reach out if you need any help.
fight the good fight!!
