hi guys. how is everyone? had a hard day. my doctor and i talked for an hour and came to the conclusion that i have bipolar disorder. :( with anxiety. it did fit what ive been going thru for a while at different times. i just didnt know after all these years of living with mental illness. now im gonna have this forever. good thing tho is i can treat it and learn to manage it. all new to me, i guess thats why my antidepressants have never worked good enough. so im alright. i just need a break from life. good thing is tho i lost my job. im prolly gonna start a new one in june or july. because i took a test for a direct support professional position for new york state and thats the job i want. i got a perfect score. so now i can take a break hopefully. putting life on hold for now
Im glad you have a positive attitude towards everything. It sounds like youre really trying your best to figure everything out and youre taking the necessary steps to be healthy. Very proud of you <3 Sometimes life is so tough. Keep your chin up.
Wo ho ho! Guess what? Laurie, your admin of Heart-Felt This-n-That was also diagnosed with Bipolar years ago. I was very manic depressive. (Did I spell manic right?) I wasn’t making any sense and no one could force me to get help. Eventually I woke up and finally begged for help. I had no clue what I was asking for. I spent some time in the hospital. Now I live an ordinary life with a prescription that helps me manage the illness. It’s really not the end of the world. PM me any time. You’d be surprised how many people walking down your very streets have this.
Thanks. That’s what my counselor said many people have it and you would never know. Yeah I was in the hospital in January for “anxiety” but was suicidal. So idk. Yeha
At least you know now what is how and how to treat it properly.
It's good you're not working right now, get some rest and make sure you get on the right med.
