I had my first manic episode with severe psychosis in March & it lasted 3 months and I’m struggling to recover everyday.

I was a college student and was in a healthy relationship. I was misdiagnosed with depression and my episode was induced by the meds I was taking at that time

In those 3 months

\- My boyfriend broke up with me and got a restraining order against me

\- I dropped out of college

\- My friend got a restraining order against me

\- I was hospitalized 4 times

\- I violated the restraining order and got arrested then released with an ankle monitor

\- I lost nearly all my friends

\- humiliated myself on social media and dmed a million strangers

I was finally stabilized after my lost hospitalization but it’s been hell. I am so ashamed of myself and how I acted and now I’m dealing with all this legal trouble. I grieve my ex and feel horrible for the things I said to him I wish I could just apologize. I had delusions that people were out to get me and sex traffic me. I even thought I worked for the government and all this crazy stuff. I’m so alone now and I ruined everything good I had going in my life. I don’t know how I’ll rebuild my life or get over this.

I started taking 600 mg recently bumped up to 900 mg of lithium and 25 mg of seroquel. In the past month I have gained 15 pounds is this normal?? My stomach looks and feels like I’m always bloated and it is rock hard. I got my labs done and everything looks fine. I’m going to reach out to my psychiatrist. I have been so insecure with this weight gain.
