you know what i'm talking about

Hi, I was wondering if its okay to follow if you're considering bipolar as something you might have, but you're not sure/Not diagnosed? (Thanks in advance!)

heyo original anon w/ ultra rapid cycling, hypomania and mixed states, to the other anon and moderator: im so glad I helped make you feel less alone. it can feel so isolating to not have "typical" BD and you guys helped me too <33 have a lovely day x

that bipolar feel when you go from ok to blank/emotionless to empty to sad to confused to frustrated to angry to borderline suicidal

that last bipolar feel of not feeling valid just reminded me so much of myself. I've been diagnosed with BD-NOS too with mixed states and rapid cycling and hypomania, and even my counselor at school was convinced I was just faking it for attention. So ty anon for making me feel less alone, and if you're reading this and relate, you're not alone either <3

tbfw some people don't even think your disorder exists because you're BD-NOS with ultra-rapid cycling, hypomania and mixed states (on my side throwawaybloh)

to that anon: I'm bipolar and I too stopped taking my meds cold turkey and it was the worst decision of my life and ended up landing me in the hospital. if I were you I would talk to your boyfriend and ask him how he's feeling having gone off them, be honest w him about your concerns because ultimately you obviously care about him :)

you guys i am so sorry! for some reason when i log in i don’t always get notifications of messages so even though i come on at least twice a week i don’t see them. again i’m really sorry and i’ll be sure to actually click on my messages to make sure i don’t miss them. 

That rapid cycling feel when hypomania keeps you from sleeping but lack of sleep makes you crash back into depression

tbpfw your depression gets really shit and no matter what people say to you its like getting hit in the head with a hammer and just makes things worse and worse and worse

Tfw people constantly try to educate you on your bipolar even though they know absolutely nothing about it

My boyfriend is bipolar. He was taking somewhat high doses of Seroquel and Lithium, but now has decided to stop. His psychiatrist let him stop immediately without weaning off slowly. Have you or any followers experience a similar situation? is there anything I should look out for? his parents want me to keep them updated on any ""strange"" behavior. thank you!

tbfw youre manic AND rlly tired so you make yourself coffee because you have to stay up all night because you have to Do Everything

What's the definition of hypo mania? Is it less intense mania? Or mania that doesn't last as long? I've seen tons of different psychiatrists over the years and almost all of them have diagnosed me with bipolar. I have weeks of intens depression, and then weeks where I feel ok, not happy, can do some things, and occasionally get rly hyper where I can't control my choices am very impulsive and make horrible decisions which I have to clean up later. But this usually only lasts a day or 2. (1/2)

to the anon wondering about schizophrenia: bipolar and schizophrenia arent really comorbid, since most of the time having symptoms of both bipolar and schizophrenia are due to bipolar type schizoaffective disorder. its worth looking into

i was diagnosed with depression and anxiety over a year ago. for a while now i've felt like something else was wrong and after some reading i'm starting to think i may be bipolar. i'm going to bring this up to my doctor, but is there anyone else who has experienced anything similar? like could this be affected by antidepressants or anything, or just being diagnosed with depression when it may have been something more, like bipolar disorder? thanks a bunch
