Hi,

So, I have just recently been diagnosed with bipolar 2 about two weeks ago. I am taking medication. Now, I am hyper vigilant and worried that almost everything I do is an indication that a manic or depressive episode is near.

Today, after picking out a wedding venue with my partner, we went to get my engagement ring cleaned. As it was being cleaned, the salesperson was talking to me about getting an ring enhancer/band.

My partner was trying to convince me that I did not need it right now and that he’d get it for my for a future gift. I REALLY wanted it though. So much so that I bought it myself. $750.

Now, I am scared that I will regret it. Does anyone else experience this or am I losing my mind?

Thank you for any and all input.

Take care of and be gentle with yourself. You’re doing an amazing job navigating tough times.

xoxo
