Rapid-Cycling Bipolar Disorder

Kadi

I have been struggling with a bipolar disorder for several years, I stopped taking my medication when I got pregnant with my son about 3 years ago and was doing alright without it up until about a month ago. I’m almost positive my relationship is partially triggering a flare-up, so that is being dealt with as well. It’s been paired with some pretty severe anxiety as well lately, having public hyperventilating/screaming panic attacks, which has lead to some self-isolation. Most of my friends and family don’t understand what is going on and I’ve been thrown the typical “it’s all in your head”, but it’s a chemical imbalance that I can’t control. I have decided I can’t handle this on my own without medication and have started back on them slowly, but I am curious as to what those with this disorder do to help ease mood swings and anxiety? Any tips would be great! ❤️
