I (19, f) have many things going on like so many people. I don’t know what to do about my mental health, bipolar runs in my family so growing up I thought I may have some tendencies. Feeling so unstable mentally is exhausting, It keeps me up at night and has caused issues with my relationships. I may have borderline personality disorder. People are immediately put off by any ‘disorders’. Definitely not bipolar, the main difference (briefly) is that your mood can shift for weeks. Leaving you severely depressed for weeks at a time, etc. Personality disorder is shorter and yet still intense bursts. Feeling fine one moment then exploding with anger and despair. It’s hard to deal with, to go through such things without no one understanding you. I feel very alone a lot, I’ll get sad and suicidal in that moment. In the next, I’m happy and know my worth. Then I become aware of the consequences of what could happen. It’s like I forget what feeling happy was..
