I am currently experiencing the urge to shop compulsively due to my bipolar. I am also having trouble sleeping at night. I am at a point in life where a have a hole in my heart. I long for a friend who is nearby and I kind to me. I am experiencing a mix of emotions. Any advice?

Are you on any medication ? Melatonin should help you sleep natural progesterone cream is also very useful some womens bipolar disorder is very much tied to their menstrual cycle and find that natural progesterone cream is helpful

I know the feeling. Part of impulse buying besides bipolar is the empty void you're feeling. As you said you long for a friend that's near by and who is kind to you. I have only one bestie here where I live. However she doesn't fully understand my anxiety. She really wants me to visit her new home she bought with her husband. I haven't been out there because of my anxiety. I get so anxious about the drive and then worrying about having to cut my visit short because of an anxiety attack. Its a pain in the butt.

I read your bio sounds like me as a teen. I spent my 20s trying to catch up on all the stuff I should have hit a long time ago. I just started to feel like I was finally getting there until a major set back. The trauma of having a massive panicked attack kind of ruined me. Now I'm playing catch up all over again. I'm just hoping it doesn't take me years like the first time around.

Anyways my door 🚪 is always open. You can hit up my DMs if you wanna chat.
