My brother (only sibling) has schizophrenia and is bipolar. I’ve had mental health issues and am terrified of slipping into schizophrenia (10% chance empirically). Anybody else similar and scared?

I’ve never been diagnosed (too scared to make it official) but I have a feeling that I’m bipolar and lately have been experiencing suicidal thoughts. Hang in there!

P1 - I had a friend who was also scared to make it official but when finally diagnosed he got prescribed some medicine that’s made a world of difference. He was really in a bad way before that.. if you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts, please go get the help you need. There’s nothing to be ashamed of and I promise you, you’ll be glad you did in the long run

Getting diagnosed (BP2) was one of the best things to ever happen to me. It validated my experience and I learned a lot of useful tools to deal with my constantly changed moods. Also committed to making my mental health a priority.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
