I’ve been tracking bbt and lh and had a noticeable lh rise and fall this cycle. However, the lh test was never a traditional positive (reached around a .5 ratio). I had signs of ovulation like egg white mucus, tender breasts, and one sided cramps. Today I had light spotting (about 2-3 dpo). Does pregnancy sound possible this cycle? Even with the lh test not being an actual positive?
I feel like there’s no end in sight for these episodes. I just came out of a 2 week long manic episode and now I’m hitting the depressive stage. It just doesn’t make sense dits like I’ll be at baseline for a while and then boom an episode. I feel like I’m losing my mind. I could use some support/advice/encouragement
I feel like I’m losing all the people around me. I have a friend who will only talk to me when she needs something or has a story to share. Ever since I was diagnosed bipolar and have been working on myself she grew incredibly distant and goes radio silent the minute I talk about how I’m doing. During a manic episode a few years ago I cut off another friend and when we tried to reconnect she grew distant too upon finding out more about my mental health stating “I just can’t deal with all that”. I don’t understand it and I feel completely alone in this. I work in mental health and I know how isolating having a diagnosis can be but when you’re the one experiencing that isolation and stigma it hurts even worse. I just need a friend to stay put for once in my life so I don’t have to burden my husband every time I need support.
I’m in the middle of another depressive episode and I am struggling so bad. I feel like I have no one to talk to besides my husband. My best friend won’t even acknowledge the things I’m going through. I had therapy yesterday as a crisis prevention session but I don’t feel any better. I really just need support and someone to remind me that this will pass
Does anyone else see the start of a faint line or do I just have line eyes? Ovulation happened around 5/12 and I had light pink/brown spotting yesterday and today.
I was recently diagnosed and could use some advice, tips, and some support
How does everyone manage their symptoms? Specifically during depressive episode. I’ve experienced bipolar symptoms for years but never opened up about them until recently during therapy. The mania I’ve learned to harness and use as a super power but I can’t seem to manage the depression quite as well. I struggle mostly with lack of motivation, self-harm, self-hate, and isolation during these episodes.
Any suggestions?
Hi! I was just diagnosed officially in the last couple of weeks and I feel like I’m at a loss. I also have borderline personality disorder which feels like it makes all the bipolar symptoms 10 times worse. I could really just use some guidance and support and maybe someone to talk to about this :/
