Meltdowns vs. Anxiety Attacks...

Post Reply New Topic

I feel a lot better today... But they're gonna up my bipolar meds, because the doctor really thinks part of my problem is rapid cycling, plus I got a long talk from my case worker....

I mean he was talking about I have to trust myself and make my own decisions... But when discussing issues like moving or staying here, he's telling me get out of here and move to a big city... I'd have rent control here... But he says I need to seriously work on my self-esteem and triggers, etc...

Move or stay

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, and I'm glad you have a case worker to help. Trusting yourself and making your own decisions is a big step when you are having mental health challenges and you need therapeutic support from others both medically and psychologically. I hope someone is coaching you on strategies to make your own decisions, based on the limits of your ability at any given time.

May I ask what diagnoses you have, if you don't mind sharing? If it's too personal I understand. I know you have ASD and you just mentioned Bipolar with medication. I think you also said they were considering Borderline? Are you also ADHD? I'm just trying to get a better understanding of your needs, and the possible effects of the medications that you take (both positive and negative). I seem to remember you were also diagnosed with Gastroparesis last year. Are you on meds for that as well?
