"I grew up with a severely bipolar stepfather, psychically abusive, constant yelling, absurdly evangelical, heavily medicated (when he took them he was barely a person), he literally acts Kanye. He'd drink coffee, stop his meds and get absurdly manic and spend hours going down rabbit holes about "bib"
"I was able to secure free therapy with a specialist through work who I have been seeing weekly for 4 months. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression and am on medication."
"I have bipolar disorder, I take my meds. I haven't had a manic episode in 2 years, but the meds do very little for depressive symptoms. I am about to make a move abroad and to be honest, I'm nervous to make such a big change when I still have this rather dangerous thing I still carry with me for 4-6"
"grown ass women, self-diagnosing or doing their hardest to be diagnosed on online tests with autism and then sharing it on social media like it's some sort of badge of honor; like it's the new 'I'm bipolar or BPD'"
"But this is a guy diagnosed with bipolar who also suffered a massive brain injury whose word salad is pretty text book for someone with his diagnosis and the absolute joy taken in his self destruction from people who claim to be caring people."
"Schizophrenia, PTSD, bipolar etc are clearly very real things with observable physiological underpinnings. Similar story for flashbacks in PTSD and mania/depression in bipolar."
