Something’s not right

over the top irritability

over the top irritability

Anybody, I have BP2 ,had a mediocre hypermania last week usually lasts 4days then I drop into a depression. Its here, woke up this morning very irritable and weepy,didnt want to go out ,but knew I had too.,verbally tore a strip off of my husband. Went into the town had to do an early vote. Liberal person gave me a how to vote leaflet ,tore it up and threw it at her. UAP gave me a leaflet,tore it up in little pieces ,threw it at her and swore at her,said I would never vote for Palmer in a million years. Very irritated there were no leaflets for the other major parties. So thats how my day began, went home rang the shrink,not available today and tomorrow her day off. So you people on Sane are my hand to hold people for the moment. AM going to bed now to have a good cry and hug my cat. jay2

Hey @jay2, I'm glad you've reached out 💗 That's lovely you have a cat to cuddle- it's amazing how much pets can help when we're feeling overwhelmed.

I hope you find good company here on the Forums; we also have our support centre (1800 187 263) open if you'd like a 1:1 chat

Take care 🌻

Hey @jay2,

I just wanted to drop by and say I'm really sorry things are feeling tough right now. We are all here with you, and in our own ways I think we can share some of what you are feeling – the election campaign has been a lot, and when you're dealing with your own mental health issues it can be another frustration/disappointment/inconvenience/trigger (insert your own adjective here!).

What's on the agenda today? I've just come back on shift after a week away so I'll be floating around if you wanted to have a chat 😊

Hey @jay2, so glad to hear that things are settling a little for you and that you're able to withdraw in the ways you need for a bit of self protection. Thanks for the update 😊
