Struggling with PTSD and Bipolar Disorder: Seeking Advice

hey goose! I am also medicated and my symptoms are still really bad. I can't change my medication because I don't have a psychiatrist rn. so I am stuck looking for alternative ways as well... people tell me that routine helps but I have a really hard time keeping a routine because when I'm depressed I can't get out of bed and when I'm manic I can't stick to a schedule, I just flit around. but I'm trying to find ways I can force myself into routine, it just doesn't feel natural. other things people have told me to try are gene site testing (it's too expensive for me) and TMS (my insurance doesn't cover it). I often feel hopeless because I don't see a world in which I find a treatment that works for me but then I have to remind myself that I just want to feel ok and listen to others who are saying it's possible.

Hi Goose! I have the same issues and sometimes they work and other times not so well. I live with that because it’s such a pain to change up my cocktail. Hang in there.

Hi Goose!✋ I don't have an answer, but I just wanted to say hello and that you're not alone.
