Close Stress Management
I was depressed most of my life. I could cover it well, but it became unmanageable around my senior year of high school and I was living in hell on earth. I soon went into a full blown manic state and did a lot of outlandish things. I was prescribed medication but never believed in it. I was in denial for a long time. I took myself off medication in college and was living in chaos. I have recently been put on medication again and I am so thankful for it. I am coming to terms with my illness.
Treatments
- Music Working / Worked
- I love to sing on my own and play the guitar (soon keyboard!) and I love it. it helps me a lot.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I love to run. it helps me clear my mind or focus my mind on something positive by pushing myself to work hard and tough it out when it gets challenging, just as it is so in life.
- Lithium Working / Worked
- I despised the idea of taking lithium..or any medication for a long time. but now i am so glad we as a people have found a naturally salt like lithium to help balance my chemicals.
- Art Working / Worked
- I like to express myself creatively. It feeds my soul and fills up my cup when I feel empty.
Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed with bipolar when i was 18, fresh out of highschool, though we (my family and i) knew something wasnt working before the diagnosis. i was previously diagnosed with depression. i have some interesting depression stories and some even more intriguing manic stories. i have taken myself off medication before and have experienced psychosis a couple of times. i am not at my best these days but hopefully things will be looking up soon.
