Let`s talk about Bipolar

Hi @NewbieBipolar yes it is. Bipolar bunny, greenpea and meggle are having a break from the forums for awhile.

I think what with Covid and treatments and the weather it is making things a little quite ATM.

Hope you are getting yourself familiar with the forums. 🌺 Take care

Thanks. I'm finding my way around the forums and my diagnosis all at once! Tiring times. Appreciate the help!

Hi @Dimity thank you for asking about me on another thread. Not doing well ATM very negative thoughts. Just trying to keep connected on here to try distract my mind.

hearing others are worse than yourself makes me, well in one way feel more worthless than I already do but in a positive light makes me give myself a Kick up the backside for feeling like I do. I like your avatar.

Hi @Former-Member,

It sounds like you're having a really difficult time at the moment which I'm sorry to hear. It's good that you've come on to the forums to find some support, I'm sure community members will pop by shortly to offer support as well.

I understand that hearing that others appear to have it worse than you can cause some conflicting feelings. I've definitely been there and had similar thoughts which I found difficult to manage and I ended up feeling worse about myself. Sometime comparison can be useful but its important to remember that your experiences and struggles are real and valid as well. I really urge you to take care and be gentle with yourself always but especially during this difficult time.

Take care, CalmingNature

Hi @Former-Member don't be too hard on yourself we all have different stressors in our lives and it's not a contest. Is the weather settling where you are? WA seemed to be very wet and cold for a while.

The long lockdowns here have me feeling really flat and unmotivated. I'm thinking of more to do when lockdown ends than I'd usually attempt and maybe that's a good thing.

I like my avatar too. It's a dormouse but also a bit like a pygmy possum.

Thank you @Former-Member and @Dimity for your replies.

i just keep breaking down in tears. I just feel so worthless. We had one of our grandsons today, took him to his swimming lesson and speech therapy ( my husband took him into therapy as I just couldn't handle anymore appointments ) he has now gone home and I feel so guilty as my mind wasn't there for him today. I just wanted to disappear.

Iam sorry you are feeling flat Dimity and I do hope you have lots of plans for the near future when you are out of lockdown.

Hugs and love @Former-Member ❤❤❤

Hello @Dimity , @NewbieBipolar , @Former-Member , @HenryX xx

How are you tonight @NewbieBipolar ❤

@Shaz51 Didn't want to tag you and some others as I know you are such a busy bee and not good yourselves. Take care hugs and ❤️ too.

@Shaz51 thanks for checking in. Day 2 of new meds. I feel wiped out, but not like I can/want to sleep. Not sure if that's a thing but energy levels are zero.
