    not to fear monger but be careful. mania can creep up and you can develop bipolar in young adulthood

      yea… i’m at the age where shit can suddenly start to go really badly, so it does worry me that, in just the last two years, i’ve gone from being dysthymic with occasional bouts of moderate depression to rapidly switching between acutely suicidal and euphoric every other week…

          i’ve been hospitalized twice since last summer, so i’ve spoken to way too many shrinks at this point. they just keep blaming it on the estrogen 💔

              yeau. honestly, it’s gotten so bad that i just start laughing whenever i think about it 😭 seriously, not too long ago, they even managed to give me a diagnosis of estrogen abuse… now i’m back in outpatient for the billionth time, and the psychologist seems to think my problem is just gender dysphoria…

          Yeau. I just wasn’t sure when it started for you, so I just said the most moderate timeline.

      She’s been switching between mania and depression for as long as I’ve seen her here I think she’s just bipolar

            lol 😭 i guess it’s kinda ironic that i got the diagnosis removed after just one appointment where i told the psychologist that i’d been feeling great for the last month and would manage without psychiatric care… (i crashed hard and was hospitalized a couple of weeks later.)

      not that mania is always always bad but it is a warning sign at the very least just a heads up idk id like look into symptoms and stuff not a good disorder
