bipolar what it’s like / 04.04.24

[@timeisathing2361]

you have no idea how helpful these are, they make me feel so seen and understood

[@naesenh.2162]

I have BPD and I get the whole imposter "sad artist" troupe. I deleted my social where I would help others going through depression like me, stopped making any form of art like music just to be sure I wasn't lying to myself for attention or validation and yup, all the symptoms are still there a year later with or without an audience to talk to. Ironically I like staying off social media it lets me know what I am going through is real because there is no benefit socially from like what you said thinking I am subconsciously trying to be "unique" by dealing with depression. Thanks for the talk man helps me relate!

I’m not diagnosed with anything but I’m looking into it, I’m in a depressive episode and it’s fucking rough. Just a few weeks ago I was craving activities to do and people to talk to. It’s crazy to hear someone with experiences similar to mine, thanks for sharing

[@Empowerment_Self-Love_Coach]

Hi Reagan, you mentioned that you don't know the difference between Bipolar 1 and 2. The main and most important difference is that when you have Bipolar type 2, you experience hypomania, not full-blown mania like you do when you have bipolar 1. Besides that, there are only subtle differences😊😊 That's why you experience hypomania having Bipolar 2. And the word "hypo" in front of mania means "less than". So, the difference between Bipolar type 1 and 2 is about the severity of (hypo)manic episodes. You cannot get diagnosed with Bipolar 1 if you never have experienced episodes with true mania of at least seven days.in a row. People with Bipolar 1 can experience both mania and hypomania. I hope this helps clear things up A woman diagnosed with Bipolar affective disorder type 1

We are the same experience in life bro 100% it like im you

[@pitbull795]

I'm going through the same thing. I'm in a depressed state right now. Do you ever have brain fog in your depressed states like I do? Caffeine doesn't even help.

[@ReaganBeem]

yes it’s the worst. can’t think straight about anything sometimes just straight up empty brain. caffeine sometimes makes it worse in my case

[@graken88]

as someone who is also diagnosed bipolar 2 its nice to hear that someone else goes through similar struggles. Keep pushing fr. Also r u on any medication?

[@ReaganBeem]

thank you:) i was on lamotrigine but it didn’t help i was still cycling and had a lot of side effects. starting new meds soon

[@lindagilbertson7488]

I applaud your courage and honestly. We need to lift the stigma around mental illness and make it more normalized in conversations. Im curious if you have tried ketamine therapy for bi-polar? I have had great success with it for my Complex PTSD/Anxiety/Depression. Wishing you all the best. Day by day by day! ❤

[@princekriss6458]

I am also bipolar

[@hatehypocrisy1]

This condition never makes sense to me, It feels like someone wanted to make up a new illness and impose it on us for the sake of discovery. Does it really exist? Don't tell me about sadness or anger ., there are millions of reasons to be sad and angry. Yes, some people are more sensitive than others, that is for sure. Listening to you, you sound like a very rational person to me. You don't have any issue, just my opinion.

[@ReaganBeem]

totally get where you’re coming from, as someone who does generally function super rationally. although a bit of a misguided and (not in a mean way) just kind of an ignorant opinion. i can see how you wouldn’t understand how it feels if you’ve never experienced true depression or the highs of hypomania. yes there are reasons to be sad - with depression there is no reason. things could be amazing outwardly and inwardly, when all of the sudden a switch can flip in my brain that makes everything feel bad. nothing interesting & im angry at myself and angry at others for no reason. for a long time i told myself that i needed to just suck it up and be better. there’s only so far you can get with self work. my entire life ive felt like two different people at uncontrollable intervals of time. no amount of telling myself to be normal and suck it up and work through it has ever allowed me to push through. & i still try. but one random day - a switch flips and i’m either the second coming of christ or the scum of the earth. frankly it’s embarrassing at points. nobody knows who to expect when they see me. i don’t really care for a label on what i have, but it’s nice to have context to understand that randomly wanting to off myself after having an amazing week is not normal & i can point to reasons why it’s not normal.

[@BlingTheSlim]

Is ver real, im a logical person and have cyclothymic disorder, or bipolar 2 not exactly sure which one but doesnt change the fact that you can be randomly depressed or happy for days or hours, one obvious way to tell if u have bipolar is if ur depressed you suddendly become manic and if your manic u can become depressed for no reason and everyone has a different kind of bipolar and people can react different and think different when depress and manic
