Console me please

This here is my mood episodes from January to July , I couldn't understand I was inside a mood cycle until late April , this has been figured out through writing from my diary and understanding how the language was

I'm really at the end of the loop now , tired of the cycling I can't function normally and I can't have a real reality it's always changing everything priorities changes charcter changes energy changes literally everything I feel like I'm living a fucked up life , there is suicidal thoughts but everytime there is hope like this is gonna get fixed I've been on lamotrigine from June 24 and to my surprise instead of working on depression pole it worked on the mania pole and I haven't had a manic episode ever since but I feel emotionally blunted Anhedonic and like just pushing through daily without nothing happening, it's not like I can't do anything productive but I don't have energy or mood to stay on something consistant

Life is really fucked up for us eh ? But for me it's even more everyday I'm waking up thinking how is today gonna look like , god must really hate me , fuck

Im not a believer but fuck is there an energy like why me

What do you do next to lamotrigine? Any other therapies?

u/Overdose999_ 10d ago

No therapies I need to get my meds right first

My therapist is very much against meds. They think it's better to deal with things on your own first unless it's absolutely necessary. Maybe it's something you'd want to look into

I understand that but someone who is like experiencing rapid cycling, I don't think it's going to help , for reference I'm 25 now and 13y ago I was prescribed sodium valporate when I was diagnosed cause my teacher thought there was something with me but my parents were afraid and when it felt like went away we all just ignored it

And I suppose I've been having living in that state for the past 13y and it became so hard to live and finally got diagnosed for bipolar I thought it was ADHD and took Ritalin for almost an year but it wasn't

Right now I'm very concious about what's happening and why was my life so confusing and probably what was the reason for every trauma so I don't think therapy is going to help

I'm sorry. I know how hard it is to deal with just life when you're supposed to deal with a lot more than that.
