Today is the international day of mental health - don't forget to hug your beloved psychopath:)
Hi, guys!:)
Today is the international day of mental health, and it's a good opportunity to hug your beloved psychopath, and a good opportunity to congratulate mentally healthy beloved ones near you.
Unfortunately I can post no new art today, but I have a story to tell:)
It's so happened that today, on international day of mental health I finally found a doctor who took her time to explain me everything, and who actually listened to what I was saying.
So, today (I hope) I finally will start treatment that corresponds to my actual diagnosis. Now, at this moment of time, after today doctor's appointment I feel silly about all the ones had before. Especially about psychotherapist. Well, I had a thought in my mind that all this "blah-blah" therapy is not what I actually need, but went on with it cause I saw no other option.
But today I got lucky to finally find a normal specialist. No hasty conclusions, no pressure, no making me feeling guilty for what I'm saying. Just a normal doctor who listened to me, asked all the questions she needed and who formed the diagnosis and treatment based on actual facts (not on her own vision and impression), and who explained me everything until I finally understood what is happening and how can I work and live with it.
I hope this time I really found the solution. Of course, I will know for sure only when I'll start medication, but I hope for better.
P.S.
I said it in my previous posts, and here I will say it again. Please no yoga, sports, healthy food, breathing techniques, YouTube cats advises. Don't mix up depression with "just being sad".
I wish you all the best and will be happy if you'll support me with vote:)
Love, Inber
People suggest Yoga to you? I don't see how that actually helps?
They do, plus they get super surprised when I say that I actually do yoga less or more regularly to keep my healthy. But it has completely no effect of my bipolar disorder
I'm happy to hear your on a path to better health. Wishing you all the best with your new treatment!
Thank you!:)
Great you found solution i am so happy for you.
I hope that I found it, I'm not sure yet. But looks like it's really close:)
Recalling your last post, I am very positive that this is a step in the right direction for you, finally.
There is someone I know, who's really close to me, in a similar state lately. So yes, I can somewhat relate to what you're going through and how difficult it can be to have no clarity about anything in your surroundings. However, what I do know by now that this is certainly a war of your own, a fight within, and it has to be fought by yourself regardless of how your loved ones try to be there for you, the doctors, all the therapies, etc.
In the end, it's you and your soul that needs to collect those broken pieces shattered everywhere, and put them all in the right place where they used to belong. Easier said than done, yeah, but trust me, this is the only element that will work for you someday. So just take your time, go with your pace and not what others tell you, do the things your way. Eventually, I hope and pray that things start to get better for you.
Lastly, do know that this is going to be step by step, day by day - So don't even worry about the time factor. Time is on your side. Just try to win it inside you, the outside will just follow your triumph.
Thank you for kind words, but it's not what I'm talking about.
Let me make this clear again here. I have no broken soul, no unrequited love, no all this. I just have a bipolar disorder and need to seek for right medication, that's all. It has nothing to do with "winning one day", it's just a cycle which I live in, and it's really hard.
Which is why I mentioned that this could just be the right medication for you, eventually. Since you mentioned in your earlier post that you tried with a few doctors and it didn't work out for you. The only addition I made was that medication, alone, might not help you to an extent where it just goes away. The reference I made was not a similar scenario to yours in all it's entirety, but just to let you know that there are other internal/external factors too that do contribute more than you think they might or could.
And the 'cycle' you're talking about, when I said 'win your own war', my point was to be part of that cycle since you can't just get out of it, yes, but be a part of that in a way that has, to some extent, elements of positivity for you. We all have our own dynamics of life, don't we? We're all consumed and connected with events, moments and everything else that we can't just part ways from. So what I meant was to rely on your willpower and strengths in a broader perspective, in addition to the medication, even though you've find the right sort of medication or the doctor. This combination is what I believe can work for you, both in the short and the long-run.
Glad to hear you've found someone that works well with you and meets you where you are.
Best wishes @inber
I will see how it'll go with medication, but at the moment everything looks really promisingly:)
Good luck, hope you get the right kind of meds! (I say because I've known people who got the wrong kind of meds and the results were not good but at least they were able to pull back and find something else that worked for them or eventually get the right kind and then everything was better).
I would always recommend lots of playing with cute little dogs ;D
Playing with cute little dogs is something that always works:)
I became a big fan of you, after reading this.. Self-Confidence is the biggest thing, this gives us the strength to fight.. wishing you all the best for new treatment, and eagerly waiting of your new art..
Thank you for your worm words!:)
