Hi there I have bipolar disorder and have just had a bad manic episode. I am currently recovering and have slight depression, as I feel a bit low

Hi Russellcole71

I’m sorry you’ve just had a bad manic episode and now have some depression.

I wanted to check if you have had postpartum psychosis? We are a charity supporting people who have had a psychotic episode following giving birth to their babies. I just wanted to make sure you are in the right place to get the right support.

If you haven’t had postpartum psychosis, you can find support for bipolar from the charity bipolar uk who also have an online forum. Information is here: bipolaruk.org/ecommunity

I hope you start feel better soon and that your mood will lift.

Ellie

That's what happens after the mania you get a low that's why it's best to prevent getting manic again
