Struggling with recent bipolar diagnosis

[JellyBaby5050]

Hey!

I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 in March and have since struggled so much with it. I have spent some time self harming but am now taking mini-overdoses every night to take the edge off. Has anybody else been through this? Any coping strategies?

Thanks X

JellyBaby5050, what is a "mini overdose" ? and when does it become a larger

dose that you won't respond from? Self harming and overdoses of any size need

to be addressed by a professional therapist. This is not a way to treat your problem.
