• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Well...the other night....well...lets start from the beginning shall we?

Well, I have bipolar. And I get really hyper alot(also known as manic). And the other night I got into a really manic phase....like, I couldn't stop....I was picking on my brother and he was getting mad(he has anger issues), and my mom was getting concerned for me.....cause I've never been this hyper before...EVER.....and she was afraid that if my brother got too mad.....that would not have been pretty....so the only thing my mom knew to do was to yell....well...I also have an anxiety disorder....so I'm very sensitive....and after she yelled at me....I just bursted into tears....I was trying to stop being hyper....but....I just couldn't....and my mom yelled...and I got really upset....then I was mad at the whole world...I didn't want to talk to anyone....I was just ticked off....I was crying and about to punch a wall at the same time....I didn't know what to do....now, I haven't cut in almost 3 months now....and I almost relapsed...but I made it through.....I was kinda proud of myself the next day. That I made it through without cutting....but now I'm concerned that I might go through another one...because my psychiatrist took me off my concerta(my ADHD pill) and he thinks that the ADHD was a mis-diagnosis so he took me off of it to see if my hyperness is an affect of the bipolar....or if I actually have ADHD....so this week could be bad...pray for me all....and pray for my mom and brother...because it could get ugly....

I really relate to what you wrote. I too have bipolar disorder and find when i'm in a episode i am most trigger. I also underwent a medication change that was trigger. Big congratulations are in order. That shows a lot of control and determination to make healthier choices.
