Also would love to hear anyone’s thoughts on this. I am thinking a BPD bowl needs to be created.
Sometimes I just feel like I’m not cut out for dealing with so many stakeholders and small tasks... consistency is tough. How do other bipolar fish deal with the highs and lows?
When you have bipolar disorder, regular sleep and consistency are very important. You need regular exercise and healthy meals, and overall need to be able to take care of yourself so you have enough mental capacity to handle stress. It also sounds like you suffer from perfectionism, which isn’t your bipolar necessarily but perhaps a way of trying to have control of everything, which is completely impossible. I discovered I was a complete perfectionist myself, which is really driven by this underlying insecurity that if there is even one flaw in what I do, someone will have something to point to, so they will reject me or obliterate me. So I spent years doing everything I could to control these situations.... and I’ve realized now after therapy (And a 12 step program) that all that trying to control shit was a waste of time and energy. Take a deep breath and say the serenity prayer and accept that this is more about your perspective and thoughts, which trigger the moods, which spirals into an episode. Go to therapy, it’s the best thing I ever did.
Yes to therapy. I spent all summer thinking that it wud be easier to not be here. And my therapist + some lexapro got me together
Recently diagnosed with mild BPD. While I don’t get the anger (luckily), my emotions are magnified. Highs are really high, lows are below the ground. On meds now and hoping it helps!
You got this, may have bad days but it will work out in the end
