- Hi this might sound silly but I feel really anxious and I just need a unbiased opinion on something... my mums washing machine has broken and long story short it will be a few weeks/months before we can get her a new one. I feel very anxious and...
- Hi...I feel really guilty right now. And I'm not sure if it's just my anxiety or whether I actually should.I only work one day a week (today) and I had to call in sick. I woke with bad diarrhea and just knew it wasn't going to be a one off and then...
- It's almost Christmas (as you would all know) and this make me more worried and anxious about my mother. Things that should be good or fun can send her into an episode of hypomania or mania. She has seemed pretty good for the last few months and...
- I felt bad yesterday. Started worrying uncontrollably. Ended up calming down around 11pm/12am and slept. I had a weird dream and woke up feeling horribly anxious. I wake up really anxious/sad a fair bit. Sometimes once I get up I'm ok sometimes not....
- I feel like I'm not allowed to be happy. Over the last few years every time something good happened something really bad has happened. And now no matter what I tell myself I believe it's going to always be like this. Right now everything actually...
- Hi,How do you tell if someone with bp is in hypomania or just in a good mood?I ask because my mum seems quite happy at the moment and of course I start panicking that it means she is hypomanic which could lead to mania which could lead to...
- Hi, I know I have posted here many times. Just bits and pieces focusing on what's happening at that moment. But I often read other peoples posts here as well as at other places online. And the full story about my mothers illness seems slightly...
- I feel like my anxiety is not understood by many people. That my family expects me to function like they do and I can't. A lot of things trigger my anxiety. I don't like to go many places or be anywhere without my husband really. He is my biggest...
- I just ended up calling in sick to work...I feel guilty. I think I feel guilty partly because I do have a guilt complex (I feel guilty a lot). And partly because I said I had a stomach bug which isn't the whole truth...I don't feel good, but it's my...
- Hi I just joined this group (although I have been on DS for a few years now). About 2 weeks ago I had a massive asthma attack (started to get better and then had another even worse one) and I am still recovering. It's really starting to scare me. I...
- I am always worrying, always scared about what could go wrong. I obsess and repeat things over and over to myself (in my head) trying to 'prevent' the bad things I am worried about happening. I don't really know how to explain what I mean. I try to...
- How do you help them keep their stress levels down? And keep your own sanity?I ask because stress can push my mum over into mania and psychotic episodes. And she tends to stress out very easily over things. And sometimes they are things that she...
- Hi...I've been a member of this group for a while now but I don't think I have posted here yet. I suffer from really bad anxiety...and I've noticed lately that sometimes during/after my anxiety has been really, really bad I feel emotionally numb...I...
- Hi me again (although I haven't posted in a little while). Just need to vent a bit and I wondered if any of you have dealt with the same thing?I just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed if their bp loved one seems absent-minded or forgetful...
- Like nervous and worried just waiting for the next 'episode' of mania or for what you loved one will do next? Even in times that seem 'normal'. Like you're just waiting for the second shoe to drop.Or is it just me and the specific circumstances of...
