Thank you for trusting us to share your journey with. I have PTSD and I can understand how challenging it can be to open up about mental health and having to deal with the stigmas that go with it. I tend to keep my diagnosis private until I feel comfortable enough sharing it with people outside of my small circle because of how PTSD is portrayed in the movies and on TV. Please dont feel like you need to justify to anyone why you arent comfortable sharing all your personal parts of your story or life. You do not have to tell people anything you do not want to. If they arent happy not knowing then they do not respect boundaries and that is their problem, not yours.
Your an amazing person yes trauma is hidden and not understood and it can appear at the most unexpected moments but until you become aware of these and understand how to cope you can work through them. Keep believing in yourself 🥰
I'm happy to hear that you found out what your exact problem is. Now you can begin the work and treatment that you need. Please let us know how this is working for you and helping you. Very brave of you to share this and it's great that your husband is so supportive!🤗
All the best to you in finding out and dealing with what you are experiencing. You are under no obligation to share anything you are uncomfortable talking about. If and when you are ready that is on your timeline if you ever decide you want to everyone is here for you. ❤️
So proud of you first for reaching out to professionals for help and secondly for sharing your journey. It's cathartic for you and so helpful for others. I wish the best for you on your recovery. You are very strong. The U.S. Mental Health Crisis number is 988.
I am so proud of you. Your speaking out will help others. You are so genuine in your desire to help others. You are not an attention seeker as are many who share to "help." In my case my mother is the one who fought battles daily with her emotions. I was unable to ask for help or Mama would threaten to harm herself. Being alone in it was the worst part. I am so proud of you.
Thank God for your husband. Not many men would stay. Please don't stop meds. I know people on bipolar meds who have. They think they don't need them anymore. You've come along way. You don't have to share everything. So glad you're getting the help you need. That's what counts
Thank you for sharing. Always make any med changes with your doctor's approval. One day at a time. You don't have to share everything if you don't feel comfortable doing it. It is your journey and I'm sure it's helping others also!

Thank you for sharing. The mind can be an unnerving place... the intrusive thoughts , the crowded brain , physical illness , possible psychosis ....i mean the list goes on and on . I understand. Thanks for sharing...
I have a question .. I’m currently talking with a lady that’s bipolar .. She lost her job and just went completely distant from me. We don’t talk as much anymore and I’m consistently hitting her up checking up on her. She calls but rarely nowadays. When she calls she tells me what she did those days she wasn’t talking to me such as going out to parties , drinking , smoking and going to get together .. It’s tricky because normally she would tell me beforehand but she just doesn’t tell me at all. I wanna talk to her about it but I feel like it’s just gonna start an argument or she’ll just hang the phone up on me. At times she does block me when she’s really upset & it’s over little things. She started drinking and smoking & when she wants to go to sleep “She wants to go to sleep”. Do you guys think she’s on her meds? I wouldn’t know because when I ask her if she’s BP1 or BP2 she would ignore it .. What are you guys thoughts?

Regardless of having a disorder, if someone treats you like that they aren’t worth your time. You deserve someone who treats you well.
My OCD goes crazy when in an episode
You are very courageous
The phobia may be OCD... thats a common theme for people with OCD...fear of vomitting
Hugs to you!!!
Thank you!
