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.
Real hard time feeling motivated for anything except sleep after a high hypo manic cycle ending in burn out and depression one month ago from school and work. It's frustrating and tough to know what I should expect, with the increased medication too that makes me sleepy and feeling plain stupid I feel right now. So frustrating, and maybe I'm just being adversarial and don't want to work? I don't know. I'm just mad and hate myself right now. I have so much work to do that I just don't care about. Feels like I'm just letting everything go and losing myself. Makes me wonder if I'm getting better or just medicated. Anyone else have experience in this?

the beginning times of coming to understand what
having a mental health challenge can be fill with confusion
and upset outside of the regular upset we have in daily life.
it's so important to be good to yourself and give yourself some life structure so that you come to understand how to manage
your feelings day by day. it's not always a clear path. it definitely is very trying. but you did such a good thing by coming here to write it out. Do some things in your day that remind you of you and what you like in life to affirm yourself.
I would say talk to your therapist about all of this.
I had issues my last year of classes and put one of the projects on hold for a year. It was a terrible time but I am glad I finished my coursework and got my degree.
Sending a big hug for you. Be self responsible with your feelings and emotions along with your daily life and studies.
That bit of wisdom was hard won for me but taking care of each day - to keep on keeping on - helps me so much! Peace!
