Does anyone here suffer from bipolar? I'm feeling extremely alone in this and it would be therapeutic to kind of get a support group going, if anyone here has it too. In the past week alone I've been so severely depressed that I couldn't stop thinking about suicide, to manic and pretty ambitious and hopeful, and now I'm just exhausted. So yeah, some support would be nice right now.
 
My nurse thinks I have it, personally I think I only have PTSD and depression. Apparently anxiety that's somewhat like OCD too.

I don't really care about diagnosis anymore, or what mental illness I have, though I do relate to how bipolar people feel.
 
I've been around A LOT of bipolar people, so I have a really big understanding of it.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Although I don't have bipolar disorder, I do have anxiety, which sometimes can look like bipolar disorder and feel like it too. I will have a huge shift in my mood - happy one moment, and suddenly angry or depressed the next. Usually though, it's because I had a passing thought or something happened that triggered an anxiety attack or brought back bad memories. It's hard because I feel guilty about it, that my boyfriend has to deal with these shifts in mood and he doesn't know how to react a lot of the time, and it's hurtful to him when it's sometimes directed at him. So I understand how those extreme mood swings can be frustrating as hell and tiring. But you aren't alone, and I hope you know we'll be here for you. If you ever need support, hit me up :)
 
I've borderline personality disorder, generalized anxiety, ptsd and depression, however, I can understand those with bipolar a little bit since my sister is bipolar and has shared a lot with me these past years about it. You're never alone in anything. <3
 
I have schizotypal, which is basically severe social anxiety/eccentricity and very mild schizophrenia mixed. Then I have schizoaffective, which is basically schizophrenia and bipolar. All things considered (with my schizoaffective), I understand what you're going through. I've been really down lately even though my medication is working. My psychosis is fine, but my mood swings are still there -- albeit, not as severe as they are without medication.
I'm always a PM away if you need someone, I understand what you're going through. You're a beautiful person. <3
