New here and struggling
Hi I’m new here. Reaching out for support and guidance. I have bipolar 1 and when I’m manic I struggle with addiction. I was clean for many years before my diagnosis. No one knows im struggling. I’m living this secret. I feel horrible and don’t know what to do
@impartialMap1850 First of all, I think you've done a great job because you've been able to control your bad thoughts for so many years, which I think is something to be proud of. In addition, I think you should figure out when you feel irritated and what things can really relax you. If you don't know or don't care, you can search the Internet for a hundred kinds of relaxing activities, and you will always find one that can relax you a little. Finally, it is most important to seek help from a psychologist.
