Being in the hospital is tough but just the right thing I needed at just the right time. Sometimes life doesn't happen the way you want it to, but that's ok. What I've learned from my experiences our way the pain. It takes guts to walk this walk and I'm learning that I'm a fighter. I'm learning that it's important to believe in yourself and to not lose hope.
So what happened? As the seasons change, so do our moods. Everyone feels them but when a person has bipolar the symptoms are amplified greatly. There are three basic episodes a person with bipolar 2 can experience roughly. Depressive, hypomanic and mixed. I had soemthing called a mixed episode where I would experience a range of intense emotions including agitation, irritability, tension, anxiety and severe depression. Once these symptoms started happening I went back to my Dr. to get my meds sorted again and we both decided that would be best in the hospital. I'm not going to sugar coat my experience, it's difficult. But at the same time its helping me feel calm, and relearn some things I had forgotten about self care. It's always important that if your in a tough spot to know there is always places that rekindle hope and self worth.
