I've been having too many problems with my thinking patterns lately to feel passion about anything. That's one of my main problems, maybe, not feeling passionate enough to take action. I've done very little in months.

@WharfRat

It can be difficult to motivate yourself when you're caught up in a mental loop/unhelpful thinking patterns. What are things which help you to get a clear mind again? For me it's "forcing" myself to go out for a walk.

I could try something like that, now that the sun is up later.

Hello everybody,

I will turn 43 on Wednesday, been suffering for the longest time from an unstable life. I am married with 2 kids and been blaming all failures to alcohol abuse. I went to rehab and quit drinking yet the problems were actually clearer. Hence I have just recently started researching and consulting some friends from the medical industry till I realized that I actually am suffering from bipolar disorder. I am still researching and trying to learn as much as I can about it before I see a psychiatrist on Tuesday.

Any advice I can use in this new chapter of my life?

@Osamasaleh

I am sorry you lived through those rough times for so long! So glad you are here in the community now.

I hope the psychiatrist you visited today could help you. Getting a proper diagnosis about the disorder is important so that you really know what you're dealing with. I can only imagine how shocking it might have been to realize it might be bipolar disorder. You can find some information about bipolar here:

Sorry for the late reply to your post.

I’m recently out of a long term relationship and just starting over again, I have anxiety issues and I also broke a vertebrae in my back that didn’t heal properly so I use a rollator walker to get around so that causes self esteem and anxiety issues

@sallymander36

It takes a lot of courage to get out of a longterm relationship! Breakups can be very hard and make us feel lonely and anxious about our future. I'm very sorry that you're going through this right now. 💙. Know you have people here who want to support you.

I am new to the group. I am a father of two (13 and 17) and husband. I work in non profits doing fundraising and enjoy time at our lake kayaking, Jetski, pontooning. I enjoy acting I. community theatre and attending any musicals I can. My struggle is with Bipolar Disorder and right now is it is in trying to subdue grandiose thinking. I’ve never been able to step back from this before. Any advice would be brilliant. Otherwise I look forward to chatting sometime soon.

Welcome to the 50+ community. I hope you will find the support you are looking for on this site. Here are some helpful links

Good food choices like a healthy moderate protein low carb diet and regular exercises including walks outside can be very helpful to reduce the effects of bipolar.
