Bipolar type 1
I been taken to a mental institution during a manic episode
Where I suddenly quit my job left the town where I lived with no savings and I was kinda freestyle life until my parents took me kinda by force there .. like they found me and took me ..
And there I was not told my diagnosis, iwas kinda observed
First week or so I cried all day all night all the time lol and after a while I was suddenly working out learning piano at the facility writing a lot planning jobs and writing a memoir and my ghost writing I gig I abandoned when I was admitted there.. all in a notebook .
And only when I left did I know my diagnosis and I was in denial and didn't take my meds until I had crazy episodes again
And that's the thing looking back at the past, I had heavy craycray moments and moments when I was so depressed I didn't even wash my face or brush my hair
But now I feel fine
One day I decided I ll sto taking meds
And it seems like I didn't have a crazy moment like before
Depression can be heavy and I refuse to blame my optimism on mania
And idk do heavy episodes get triggered ? Only ?
I used to travel impulsively cuz I couldnt stand control limits .. cuz I didn't wanna die lie like this ...
My friend who was Bipolar 2 got her adhd assessment and now she tells me I'm adhd
I hate to think about Bipolar but I know it explains a lot,
When I first admitted they thought I was on drugs and did a lot of testings on me
I realised later that without mood regulator , antidepressants make me manic, and I was kinda obsessed wit them fir a while lol
What if my damage is just damage as Diane say
Or am I healed,?
