I’ve been eating a ton lately. I’m on more medications than ever before which probably contribute to hunger? And I also feel like I’m coping with loneliness and boredom through eating food? When I was manic I was fine with one meal a day and when I was depressed I couldn’t eat much but in my state of being mildly depressed mostly stable I can’t stop eating submitted by /u/Mental_Profession_23 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Whenever I watch any show I like, even just for 30 minutes at a time, it feels like my brain starts living in that world. It happens with video games too if I play one game for a significant-ish amount of time. I start having background thoughts like “oh I’ll just move this floor section” or press undo, and then remember you can’t do that irl. Or in my head I see the room I’m in in the animation style of a show and then concentrate on what I actually see and it goes away. When I’m less stable, I confuse my dreams with reality too and genuinely can’t tell what’s real. I frequently had to ask p ..read more

hi everyone, i’ve been diagnosed bipolar since spring 2023 and it’s been a long, tiring journey… recently went through a break-up that cause a month long manic episode that caused me to put myself into $14k worth of debt, but what mainly went into the break-up was that i literally cannot get myself to succeed or focus in school and i am terrible with my money. i would really like some tips or hear stories on people who were able to succeed? or actually graduate school and get themselves out of debt. i feel like i’m stagnant with my life and i’m going nowhere; starting to feel like it’s either ..read more

I get angry fast when people don’t reciprocate my kindness or even decency, so these so called “friends” instantly are out of mind forever. It’s probably manic, but it’s also justified. Have you done this or plan to? submitted by /u/Even_Opportunity_893 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

After 2.5 years of living w/ my ex (25M) and moving out 2 months ago, I(24F) think I’ve officially started finding my way back to myself (and I couldn’t be happier). There’s no doubt at some point I loved him and his son who lived with us full time. But between the reactive abuse, his cheating, and using my condition against me, I knew deep down I needed a better life. Being with him made me I miss my old self. We started dating only 1 year after I was diagnosed. His presence in my life surely didn’t help. I love really hard and I forgave him too many times. It was really tough leaving someon ..read more

Do you guys have any tips on what to do? I’m current on medication. submitted by /u/Drmeow15 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I can honeslty feel myself about to have a meltdown, but I can't because I am a mother. (not that it matters because my child doesn't want to be here and isn't here because i'm a bad mother) Some back ground, my parents live next door because I am a big incapabale idiot who can't do anything. I took in a feral kitten last night. My step mom suggest I give it milk, and I say your not supposed to give cats milk they're lactose intolerant. 'WELL I'M SORRY I APPARENTLY HAVE BAD LIFE SKILLS. I'VE NEVER KILLED AN ANIMAL" jesus christ *googles it* "yes these articles from vets say cats are lactose i ..read more
