I have Bipolar 2. I’m in this weird spot where I’ve been doing really well lately. Like better than I ever have in my entire life. Worked really hard in therapy to grow and change and be closer to the person I’m trying to become.

But it feels like a few things in the last week have triggered an episode and I feel so powerless. The self-talk does nothing. My thoughts and emotions are so intense and overwhelming. I feel awful. What I was able to manage before I now feel helpless to do anything about it. Does anyone have some advice?
