I think my doc is right I must be bipolar because I really struggle with stability
just monitoring my mood over the last week feels like three weeks have gone by
I’m not even certain how much time it was and like can’t remember things clearly because I’m so swept away in my own moods all the time
and I can’t seem to regulate or prevent it but more just ride the waves as they come
I cycled through agitated depression anxiety and hypo mani like multiple times each in just one week
I been researching the diff types of bipolar and she said she thinks I’m cycloghymic but based on episodes I’ve had in the past I think it was bipolar 1 with anxious features, dysphoric mania or mixed episodes (very rarely), and occasional paranoia (not psychosis but I will get oddly paranoid about irrational things at random times and it’s like another mood I can’t control.)
The medication helped tone it down (as she said it can sometimes do this to bipolar ppl)
I always though it was odd the reactions I have to psych meds is different than the “norm” for people and I think it’s because of being bipolar
I think I was depressed as a teen really badly and then started cycling from there, and over the years it’s just gotten worse and worse
when I listen to other people’s stories about how it affected their life it sounds very similar to my life story
and of course the symptoms line up and I relate to everything they say they do or think I’m like yeah that’s me but I thought that was just life because itd become such a norm for me
the instability inhibits function and affects relationships and my entire life essentially
and also is very scary sometimes or can cause suicide
the meds and hospitalizations and the havoc I deal with trying to cope with it all and the mess it makes in my life is never fun
They say it can get worse over time so I’m going to keep trying to closely moniktr everything going on in my head and hitting down a synopsis as things shift and just keep a steady record of myself (hard to do anything consistently but I really should if I want to prevent another mental health crisis in the future like I’ve had before, or worse than before)
idk I would say it can’t hurt to like monitor myself but it actually can somewhat
Triggers anxiety or depression so eeeagghhhh
idk what to do ya know
maybe that’s why I should do it with a therapist and not alone cuz then they can make me like reframe it and walk out of the session okay
not like suffering
Woke up with my knees buckling and my arms dangling lose like spheghetti they felt heavy
I’m still in this state I wake up like this sometimes and feel like I’m might pass out
I uhhhh just woke up it’s hard to describe what the internal feeling is like but it’s like being drunk in slow motion or on dope and feel numb
my eyes droop my breathing is super slow feel like I can’t get enough air to wake up so instead I’m in this intoxicated numb slow lethargy
my parents think it’s the meds I think it’s anemia blood pressure and blood sugar
but yeah I really need to get food cuz tried hot shower usually freezing and shaking when like this but hot shower didn’t make it go away
feel like I could sleep 8 more hours and very weak muscular decterity wise everything is loose and I can’t get it not like soheghettu very tired
want to sleep forever feel comatose but I need to fight the speghetti body limbs syndrome and get to food despite feeling drugged
but can’t get up wanna sleeep dozin
Ate waffle with agave and had coffee felt a little more normal but couldn’t fight the urge to sleep
slept another eight hours like I said I felt like I would
woke up feeling normal
but had to sleep sixteen hours to feel normal
So.
but yeah then I was starving and like low sugar feeling like I might pass out and start feeling shaky and really cranky and had to make a pizza and more coffee
ate felt better
An old friend reached out to me and wants to play AC:NH with me I guess
so that was nice
I was feeling optimistic. despite everything being terrible in the world rn.
my mom is letting me have my old bedroom back
its been used as storage for years now. and I’m like it’s stupid that I live here and can’t use my own room
so she’s letting me box everything up and pop it in the garage so I can have it as living space
Played some animal crossing posted some shit on one of my tumblrs and did some organizing of my planner
trying to keep on top myself and shit
Now I’m listening to yo yo ma and hanging up clothes

What's your diet consist of these days? This could be related.
The reason I responded to this... is because my health is a really complicated matter and I don’t feel like getting into it
basically, to sum it up, I know there’s problems, and I’m working with a really great doctor to fix it. I’m in good hands.
it just takes a long time for it to improve. And yes diet is a part of the prescribed regiment. and some issues we haven’t resolved yet.
But yeah, working on it.
