I have enjoyed helping to run a support group for people with mental disorders … One day, not long ago, a middle-aged man came to our group. He told us that he spent the past year attending different grief groups, but none of them were right. ‘Why not?’ someone asked. The man said: ‘Because everyone there was grieving over the loss of another person. I was grieving for myself. For who I used to be before I got sick and who I am now.’

Jadempty: Living With Lithium.
So I didn’t mention this in my last post but I’ve noticed some side effects since I started taking lithium six months ago (why I’m just now realizing, I don’t know…DERP). Kind of embarrassing but: irregular period, slight depression, acne, and zero sex drive. I read something online the other day…
I didn’t read the whole post because when I saw irregular period I got really alarmed. This happened to me, and I thought it was a side affect, but NO!! GET YOUR THYROID CHECKED ASAP! Lithium can mess with all of that stuff, so get a blood test! Forgive me if you have already gotten one and mentioned it in this post.
lol our weather is so bipolar lol
take me off my meds and invite me over and i’ll show you bipolar
Yes, this was in front of my school. In front of most of my grade and others.
We had a few events this week, and one of them was mine. I told my story with mental illness, struggling with bipolar disorder, ADHD and OCD also with self harm and suicidal idealization. It got really personal but I think it really woke some of them up that this girl who seems happy, has really been through hell and back.
Fuck you for thinking that shit is a joke.
my mom was telling me the other day that she wouldn’t just go around telling everybody she had a mental illness and i don’t know that kind of made me mad and i just said,”i tell people because there is no reason for me to be ashamed or to hide it, by speaking out, i am helping get rid of the stigma”.
of course she still didn’t understand but she’s just like that i guess.
Watch me bleed.: You are not bipolar because you’re on your period or because you have...
You are not bipolar because you’re on your period or because you have mood swings or any other stupid reason that has absolutely nothing to do with bipolar disorder. This disorder has ruined my life and it’s a daily struggle (even on meds) to be “stable”. Don’t throw that word around to describe…
