I’m a 24(f) and I was just diagnosed with bipolar disorder about two days ago. I feel so lost because I don’t know what to do. My insurance is making me jump through hoops to get an therapy and appointments to talk about medications. I have an appointment next week to talk about medications and support groups to go to. I just went through something pretty hard and I decided it was time to figure my shit out. I feel so alone because I can’t reach out to anyone because I don’t want to be a burden. Im angry because why do I have to go through this. I’m angry at myself for not getting help sooner. I’m terrified to start medications again. I was on Zoloft for years for anxiety and depression and it made me a zombie and changed me a lot. I know medications are trial and error but I don’t want to go through all the pain and feeling like shit. I’m trying to figure out healthy ways to cope with everything and my brain is insisting on all the bad ones. Does anyone have any ways that helped you get through these first steps. Thanks!
