If you are talking about benzodiazapenes, they help with panic attacks and stuff but they are risky and not a long-term solution…and esp bad for bipolar. I am also bipolar, diagnosed 10 yrs ago at age 35, should've been obvious at 15. So much love to you. 🥰🥰🥰
You're good. We all have to learn our own ways of regulating our emotions either way. You're just a little different. So am I. That's a part of learning and loving ourselves. 💖
I'm in your boat. Your personality seems to me is about truth in living. You have reason to swing in your emotions facing the truth head-on every day while most every one around you is focused on things that cover up reality. And it's intense dissonance when people are believing lies and not believing reality and at the same time won't even consider reality as an option while praying for you so you won't go to hell. I know that's projection on my part, but I think I understand your feelings. It's hard to be a smart black man talking out about injustice. I'm a smart 70 year old white woman, and I always spoke out, was an effective activist, but constantly having to justify doing the important work and a lot of close people believing it was a personal thing against them. They wanted me on bipolar meds, but I wasn't hurting anyone, and the swings, for me, just times when I had to stop and reassess, with depression lifting when I figured out the next course of action. The action uses a lot of adrenalin. You're gonna have swings. You be You. You keep on . You're a leader and a learner and a spreader of truth. I admire you. You're not broken. I would say take your meds if you were incoherently going around breaking the world. But if you are shutting down, take a bunch of naps, eat well, love the people you love, do something not about the work that let's your conscious brain explore other avenues. It knows what you're looking for, and the problem is everywhere. Let your brain cool down so it can go to the next level. You're a fighter. Be a fighter . You're on the side of doing right, you're like a superhero. I don't mean to be presumptuous, but I was triggered by your pain. ♥️
And a lot of the medical issues are caused by chemicals billionaires have exposed us all to.
Good for you for speaking out. Best of luck on your journey, education is your best tool. Keep learning that never ends.

Thanks for these insights and the reminders ✊🏾
Yes! I love listening to you. Thank you for sharing anxiety and bi-polar which I have both. God bless you 🙏✊

This going to be really helpful for people . Now you know you can do the work if understanding you more. You have done great things.
Maybe … but there are Indigenous cultures that will give you different perspectives about the mind ❤️

You’re a strong, honest and good man Lee. Remind yourself.
Getting my bipolar diagnosis 15 years ago and getting on a mood stabilizer allowed me to finally feel in control for the first time in my life.
Is weed bad or good for bipolar, anxiety……
Depends. I would stay away from sativa strains. They can make anxiety worse. Indica strains would be less likely to do that.
Thank you.
