Hey everyone first time posting. I’m a 21/f with bipolar 2. I’ve tried multiple medications and nothing has worked long term. I feel like I’m losing grasp of my life again. I work, go to school full time, and volunteer twice a week. I thought I would be happy and motivated once I got back into school and was able to work again but things are slipping again. We were on thanksgiving break from classes and now that the week is nearly over I feel like I’m suffocating. Work is crazy because of the holidays. I’ve relapsed in sh for the first time in a few months. I just don’t know how to live a normal life with my brain the way it is, it’s too hard. I’ve been drinking more than normal to cover the pain. I guess I just wanted to talk to people who understand and see if anyone has any tips for maintaining a “normal” productive life with a messed up brain. Thanks in advance, I really love this little community.
