Interests
love being around my friends. only my close group of them though. play lacrosse and ultimate frissbee. love music (just listening though) although i used to play keyboard, a little drums, and some saxophone. good stuff. writing has always been a hobby of mine, journaling and poetry mostly. sleeping is always good. love to take risks and try new things.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder - Teen
I am here because i was just recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and am still learning to accept it. I would like to become more educated and learn to cope with it.
Treatments
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- I dont really play music myself but listening to it can be very helpful at times. I feel like some songs can better describe the way i am feeling more than i ever could. They help me feel like i'm not alone and that there is understanding. Sometimes they are relaxing and help me let out my true emotions instead of trying to keep them to myself. Although because i also self injure when i am depressed some lyrics or songs have a triggering effect which is bad and can sometimes worsen my mood.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I always want to talk to my close friends who know about my diagnosis because i know they are always there for me and have at many times told me that they are more than happy to listen if i need to vent. I really like this because i don't always have to talk to my parents who may just think i need more therapy which isnt the case. Most of the time i just want a friend and they can calm me down and they never try to go against what i'm saying but more help me see things in a better light.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- writing has always been something ive enjoyed doing and my counsler told me itd be a good idea to keep a log of my moods. its still a work in progress right now. i need to try to remember to do it because sometimes when i probably should write about my mood i just dont feel like writing.
Close Self-Injury
I have cut, burned/branded, and bruised myself a countless bumber of timesd for the past 4 years. i have recently started to seek help for my addiction to self injury.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- It works at first in the sense that you stop cutting or hurting yourself while you go there because you dont want to know what they'll say or do if you say you've done it again but eventually you start feeling comfortable enough to lie to them. i havent done that yet though. plus because i've only been going once a week i dont get to say or ask everything i want to.
- Talking Working / Worked
- if i talk to my friends they always can make me feel less alone or helpless. i love them so much!
