@letitgo I don't know if they're is any point in binging it up. I'm alone in this, maybe that's how it's suppose to be. It's easier if I break alone. I'm sorry for wasting anyone's time,

@redhead are you feeling safe. Could you reach out to someone or ask someone to spend time with you? You're worth it. Hang in there.

@TOM-RO I've been using relaxation, distraction and exercising to cope with the feelings. I've reached out to a friend a few days ago. i don't know how to talk it through with my psych. I can only talk about how I feel, but can't talk about why I'm upset.

@SmileMonkey it helped. It's just really hard to convince myself I'm not to blame. It's so hard when I'm turning against myself. I don't feel as though I'm who people think I am. I feel disappointed and disgusted in myself. Perhaps it's just me overthinking, taking on more shame and guilt than I should.

@TOM-RO I have a look at those. I don't know if there is anything to talk about. At least it feels pointless. I feel worthless.

@Bree-RO feeling a little better. Trying to work through it. I don't know how I'm going to feel whole but I guess I'm just going to have to keep trying. @j95 you're a valuable person on here. You do matter. How are you feeling today?

@TOM-RO I'm not feeling as overwhelmed anymore, I don't feel great, but not the worst. Just been trying to occupy myself by simple things like relaxation, watching TV, spending time with family etc. I talked through how I felt with a friend, it was a lot easier to open than I initially assumed.

I'm tired of feeling so anxious all the time. Wish I could leave the past behind and move forward like any other person. Instead of being caught up with pointless things I cannot change.

@SmileMonkey I'm feeling pretty stuck on the poem, oh well, maybe it'll eventually come to me. Maybe one day I'll stop feeling so damn guilty and ashamed over what I had no control over.

@lucas dealing with unpleasant memories can be tricky. I'm still learning how to deal with my own. Sometimes it takes a while to find what works, but it's possible to get through this. I think it's important to reach out, have strategies e.g. Expression. Do you have close friends or are you seeing a counsellor or doc?

@DruidChild studies can be tough, you should be proud of yourself. Neg: unresolved emotions Pos: I'm holding up. Neg: still in physical pain Pos: the pain is easing up.

@SmileMonkey I could try writing in third person. @Jack RIP my form of expression currently is brisk walking, because I find it easier than spilling out the words. I don't know if it's just me pressurising myself for feeling like this, and having to keep it in. I can't help but wonder what if other people would want me to keep it in because they don't know what to say or do? I feel like I have to do this alone, I don't know if I'm okay with that, I just have to be okay with it. Maybe I'll try to other ways to express myself apart from exercising like writing or drawing.

@DruidChild more emotional pain than physical pain, though I'm doing a bit better was able to pick myself up. I think I just need to let myself feel instead of blocking emotions. Hope you're doing good <3

You're not stupid @redhead. It must be really confusing at times whether you're seeing or experiencing something real or if you're hallucinating. I feel totally broken. There are no words for this. Nor can I explain this.

@SmileMonkey writing does help, I think I've been afraid to express myself, because if I put words to this it'll feel more real. I don't want it to be real.

@Eden1717 I think it's important to talk about side effects you're having from the medication and where to go from there, especially if the side effects are interfering with your life. I think there are a range of different options for medication for bipolar, but your doctor will know more about that. Finding the right medication or medication combination can be tricky. It took me a really long time to get onto the right combination before I was able to achieve stability. I think it's pretty normal to feel uncomfortable with the idea of telling others about your mental health. You can open up at your own pace, and talk to those who you trust. And you're always welcome to talk on here :)

@safari relaxation did help :). @j95 that must really suck. But that doesn't make you less of a person, and that doesn't mean you aren't talented. Even talented people fall. Neg: I think I'm coming down with a cold Pos: I feel better after having a good nights sleep Neg: my neck and back are still sore Pos: I'm seeing my physio today Neg: plagued with anger, guilt and frustration Pos: I'm hanging on

@DirtWitch I'll try to bring it up to my therapist. Even if I can't talk to him in detail, I can tell him I feel hurt, and how to go about from that. @JanaG I've been trying to do that. But I've had to come to the realisation that I can't avoid this forever. I've been avoiding talking and writing about it. Though I do charge my inner frustration into a workout, I still have lingering feelings. @letigo @Bree-RO I've tried reaching out a bit to a friend, it helped. I haven't told her a great deal about it. Frankly I'm too scared to put words to it at this stage, I guess I'll take it slowly, it's not that I've never spoken about it to friends and family, I haven't spoken about it for so long. And I'm scared of making them feel uncomfortable. I don't know how to be open about this completely with my therapist, it's not that I don't trust him, it's just complicated.

@ivory you don't sound like a bad person. As mentioned earlier everyone makes mistakes, we all have rough patches and sometimes we all end up doing things we regret. Nobody is perfect. Regretting your mistakes says a lot about you as a person, it means you really do care about people. I remember this phase in my life when I was probably was a really difficult person to be around, deep inside I know I was hurting. Learning to forgive yourself and take care of yourself is vital. Are you seeing a counsellor? Is there anyone you can talk to about this?

@DruidChild changing medication can be scary but there is always the possibility the new medication could help you. When my psychiatrist added a new med I wasn't so sure at first, it was rough initially but then I noticed a difference. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right medication and what works for you. Things are not as hopeless as they seem. Hang in there. You've got this. You're a valuable member on RO and you deserve to be happy,

@Bree-RO I do try to occupy myself throughout the day, but even when I'm not thinking about it, its at the back of my mind. I think I'm trying so hard to ignore it, I'm trying to convince myself I'm overreacting and that's it not a big deal. Im holding conflicting emotions, should I really be angry at someone who is struggling with themselves and their life? @DirtWitch I'm glade you were able to reach out. Coping with difficult feelings alone is hard. I could try reaching out. I know I could tell my therapist about some of the hurt, I'm not sure I could tell him everything at this point. I can see if I can talk to any of my friends and family members.

I've been holding anger in for so long, avoiding talking or writing about certain emotions and experience. Because I'm scared that if I let myself face it I'll lose myself in the pain. I don't know how I'm ever going to move forward when I don't want to face what's inside of me. If only I could erase it, forget it. I hate how I've been used and messed with. I want to be treated like a person not a puppet. I feel so stupid. But then I can't really control what others do, but it still feel like it's my fault for getting hurt. Maybe I like having the sense that I can control my life because I feel hopeless when it feels uncontrollable. I just don't know how to let go of shame and the anger that's been eating up my heart.
