Whelp, after that last big-ass debacle with my parents, I've decided to go see my PCP and get myself checked out. Specifically for some emotional stuff.
The thing is, I think I might have bipolar disorder. My mood swings get worse when I don't feel comfortable around the people I live with. Specifically, my mom and dad. The last big fight that we had was actually about something that I posted about yesterday. You remember, the Outreach VT event? I had been waiting on my parents to get back from vacation in Florida to get an answer as to whether or not they'd be willing to let me use one of their vehicles to drive up to my boyfriend and meet him. You know, save him some money and energy.
Anyway, we had eventually settled on a good game plan for the trip. But that's not important, since I'm too old to go anyway.
My point with this morning's post is that I really just need some advice about being healthy. So I'm working with my folks to see when I can go in for a physical. I've really gone downhill over the course of the last two years.
What I'd love to know from you lovely peeps that actually read mah shiz hurr is...
What do you do to stay in shape? (specifics, not just "I work out")
What (if any) type of diet are you exercising?
What (if any) type of mental/emotional disorders are you dealing with?
--How hard do those disorders make it to do everyday things?--
--How discouraged do you find yourself when confronted with everyday choices?--
I'd love the feedback. Community and love is what we all need. Sooo yeah. Talk to me about the questions above.
--cupcake feedback is also accepted--
I don't think ya have bipolar disorder :P that's pretty serious stuff and would be independent of the people you are around. Needless to say, mood swings aren't fun but they are normal. It just sounds like you need time away from your parents.
ReplyDeleteMy mate thinks the same thing, tbh. I mean, its feasible. I love my family, but my mother is really adamant about her religion and what she believes in, so its often really tough to actually talk to her at a normal level, because she's never AT a normal level, lol.
DeleteAnyway, she's told me in the past that bipolar disorder and depression do run in her side of the family. As for getting away from my parents thing, I think its more a matter of lack of real human interaction. Both of my parents firmly follow the Roman Catholic Church, and tend to be a bit pushy with their "truth".
I've found that having people over here or even going outside is good stress-relief, but when it comes to the bare bones of it all, I need some outside help. Someone unbiased. Someone I can talk to about all of my problems freely, without the worry of being judged.
