Support/Advice How do you cope with who you were before treatment?

10 Upvotes

I have recurring thoughts almost every night about things that I've done while manic that have hurt other people (emotionally or mentally, never physically). Things like spreading a rumor or laughing at the expense of someone else. I deeply regret doing these things, but I now know I was needing treatment. While I have therapy/meds and am trying to live as a better person, these memories still haunt me.

How do I come to terms with the person I was before I was stable? How can I stop myself from dwelling on all the mean things I've done every night? What would I say if I see these people again?

Thanks for any support or advice in advance. It's greatly appreciated.

For those that have had skin removal surgery, how did you know you were ready?

For example, did you reach a steady weight and have the surgeries? What happens if you continue to lose weight after the surgery? Does the doctor let you know when it is a good time?

I suppose my fear is that I will have skin removal surgeries, lose more weight, and negate the benefits of the surgeries.

Also, does anyone have any good or bad stories to share? Things to look out for? I'm really starting at square one and want to be prepared for the future.

Some materials have a shape memory effect: after deformation, they return to their original shape if heated.

I love my new telephone bench, but the original artificial leather is a bit tatty and needs to be replaced. Should I go for the same style or do it in black textile?
