New members, welcome!
Hi there!I am just wanting someone to listen
I think I have social anxiety. When I reach out to people, it seems to drive them away making me feel worse.
@Hope...I'd like to talk about the angry side of bipolar...the venomous snake that happens when I'm moving between episodes. I want to shake this feeling that I'm not the only alcholic with bipolar. I'm not doing good and I reach out to all these websites and they are about cats and lawn decor....read a room....not what I need help with right now.
Hi @bluePlane8270. I'm sorry to hear you've felt let down by other websites - I've been in that position, and it can be really hard to reach out only to find that the people you're reaching out to don't really "get" it or only have toxic positivity to offer. 😟
Reaching out to a listener can be really helpful when you need to vent; it might take a few tries to find someone who clicks with you, so don't be afraid to ask to talk to someone else if you feel the person isn't helping. You can also check out listeners' profiles and look under the "categories" section to see what issues they have lived experience of (look for the yellow star) - that way, you can pick a listener who has bipolar themselves if you think it would help.
We also have a "Bipolar, Schizophrenia & Psychosis Support" sub-community where you can talk to other members going through similar issues: https://www.7cups.com/home/bipolar/
