Can anyone hear me? I feel like I’m talking to myself.

I have schizoaffective bipolar type. I feel as if bi polar persons get a stigma put on them.. it sucks. I am currently on Abilify 20mg and after it really starts working it does amazing. The side effects the first couple weeks are rough tho. I also attend DBT appointments via zoom. My therapist was the one that actually recommended me to join this site!

I feel like I am alone in this world and have no one else to talk to about my mental illness. Although, I do have a good support system in my life I just feel like a burden sometimes. I hope I can maybe find others on here to connect with!

Hello and welcome to the group! Yes we can definitely hear you but sometimes it can take quite a while before anyone replies to a post, depending on how busy or quiet the site is. It’s good to hear that your therapist told you about this site. Mental health issues can be extremely isolating and hopefully this group will help you to feel less alone.

Don't let your diagnosis become a label. If you reach out and nobody responds, physically go out somewhere and ask for help! Go to your closest emergency room? Ask to speak to a psychologist, or even a social worker to set you up with a reliable support system.
