Parenting

I have bipolar disorder... been battling with depression and mania since 2009... Taking medicines since 2009... I guess that is what keeps me sane... Lost a lot because to it... Friends.. relationship.. career .. lost on life... It was only during around mid 2018 when the medication which I was taking clicked... And made me quite stable after that... Before mid 2018... There were phases of highs and lows... So Is there anyone here who has depression... Or bipolar disorder... Or anything of that sort... Would love to connect and listen to your story... :) Cheers... 

can anyone who has bipolar disorder tell me more about it ...like who you feel?

Bipolar Disorder

#bi-polar disorder

Some troll pages troll girls saying that we have sudden mood changes. We,girls are unpredictable. But it happens in boys too.

Bi-Polar disorder is the long term version of frequent mood swings. You are laughing and being happy at one point and after 0.001 second,  you become a crying baby. After nanoseconds you become happy again and so on.

It's okay to accept yourself. Is it happening only during/before/after period?  Then It's totally fine. Bit if it happens 24/7, 30 days, It's not only a mood swing thing. 

It's a bi polar disorder thing.

So?

It's okay. 

Sorround yourself with positive things only. Listen to affirmative things/ youtube vids called 'affirmation'.

'It's okay not to be okay'
You can watch this korean web series too.

The girl is having sudden mood swings too.

This disorder happens for trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, lack of income, burden of society, lack of love etc.

If none understands you, I am here.

I am rooting for you.

May creator help us who are having terrible mood swings.

Just be careful that, you don't harm anyone mentally or physically. 

Go to therapy sessions, counselling etc.

Just live.

Just be alive guys and girls.

You are important to this world.

Only a sadness, an incident, bullying, rape related incident, abusive parents, social media trolling, any kind of breakup nothing can define us and ruin us forever. 

We are only responsible for our lives.

We have to live!

We will be happy.

We habe to live for long!

We have to make this world a happy place for future generation. 


Don't be sad...

It's okay....

It's okay......

You are totally okay....

You are amazing yaar.

Hello, I'd just want to share a little thing, I've known that I have social anxiety for one year now, and I think I also have some symptoms of avoidant personality disorder, so I've been thinking of telling it to my family. It's just that first: my avoidant personality disorder makes it really difficult to open up with someone about my feelings or saying that I'm not fine because I don't want to be judged or make someone dissapointed. And second: I really don't want to upset them because they're really good and I don't want them to think I have this issues because of them.
So I don't know if I should tell them or not, because my disorders are not serious enough to worry. I could live with this, but I know that eventually I would have to tell them or go to a therapist to help me with this.
So any advice?

Teenagers

If I go to a psychologist will they ask my parents to leave the room? Or will they ask all the personal questions in front of them?

I hope everyone suffering with bipolar/depression understands you are not alone and so many people suffer and share your sadness/pain, myself included. Hang in there. If I can you can.
