Struggling with Mental Health: Let's Talk About It

Getting out of a negative headspace. Especially at work. I've actually been doing really well with this, work has been better because I choose to not focus of my darker thoughts. I choose to remain positive. Keep in mind, I do take meds for my bipolar, and have done so for years. Not to be cliche, but it gets better.

Paranoia. Lack of energy. Being so sleepy. I've had WAY too many jobs, I always quit them. Self love.

What DON’T i struggle with? Work is hard. I’m a cashier. I hate people. Relationships are hard. I’m married and NOT living with my wife bc of my condition. Goals are hard, i have no sense of accomplishment when i achieve them. Even having fun is hard, bc I also rarely feel any sense of enjoyment, even from the things I used to looooove. Such are the joys of a condition that gets worse with time. Just take things one day/hour/minute at a time.

Work. It's tough to put on a brave face when you're dying inside and to care for others when you're not caring for yourself.

Friendships, intimate relationships. Pretty much anything a person is supposed to have at my stage in life. I've got no one on my side. I need to move and can't.

Hygiene, sleeping too much as an avoidance tactic, and staying connected to other people.

Getting out of bed. Sometimes taking showers Focusing Sometimes I forget to take my meds ( a lot actually)
