Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Hi everybody. hope you doing well.
I'm not a talkative person outside but feel free to speak with others online. this sense of fear and anxiety from inside are killing myself
really, its like something i wanted to do but suddenly i losing the motivation at all. its like doing it and suddenly keeping it away and
leaving that behind forever. sometimes a have nice feelings to do whatever i wanted to do but when i start to do that the motivation stops
suddenly i talked to my therapist ( i don't know really what therapists do in real world ) but as my first therapist he didin't talked to me at
all only writing the meds, listening and writing no conversions at all. but this therapist i hope would be better. he ask me kindly to what i'm
gonna do and is my situation with family good and other things.
Am i wrong that i feel he must or should do advices to me ?

Generally a psychiatrist is a medical doctor that specialises in mental disorders. They can prescribe medication and some of them will only do that. Like a general practitioner they will check say if your leg is broken but aren't really interested in how you hurt yourself or give you advice on how not to hurt yourself in future. So some psychiatrists will simply ask you about your symptoms, prescribe medication and then ask you how that medication works. Others may want to talk more broadly and offer advice on things to do with being bipolar.
Psychotherapist and therapists may or may not be qualified and don't prescribe. They simply listen and make suggestions.
Some people have both a psychiatrist and a therapist. If you get a therapist you need to have one that understands bipolar disorder.
I really confused about the real therapist and how they must treat or medicate.
First i was so anxious and very angry about why he just take me another sort of
meds and certainly nothing changed at all even it lead me to end my life :/
Although i searched about things and many other platforms in these year
showed. fortunately found out some basic medicals for my health such as
yoga, ambient music.
but i wonder if this doctor or therapist whatever really wanted to cure me or
suppose to say that he was not a good therapist.
We all, whether healthy or with mental health challenges,
have to deal with the variety of feelings humans have -
this therapist may not be a skilled therapist- but also
maybe just 'talking it out' each appointment is the way that you cope with your day to day experience? That's why I come here - I have been much more sick
at one time in my life - but now after growing with my journey - I know
that coming here is part of me taking care of my life and day to day experiences. Be kind to yourself - there's no perfect -
and we all struggle with something at times... you did right by yourself coming here to find an additional forum for taking good care of yourself! good for you!! peace!
really had to some place to share my feelings and now I'm here and glad to be here. although all of my mistakes and anger to lead me and my friends and also my family to end up so much worries. now i can see and know what caused the troubles. years ago 2 /3 i ended up having some random and really serious paranoid thoughts but that was on my perspective. yeah i know it now i surely do better from now on.
It's not a brag or something related to that but i say living in my country ( Iran ) is not easy life. hope you all understand me. also I'm where i don't wanted to be or exist.
had to grab some coffee by " lo-fi music " , cause i think there is no more better than that for relaxation.
have a nice " Monday " evening.
sincerely from bottom of my heart. Cipherone ( Mohsen ) .
