I don't think I should be marrying soon...

I can't even tell my family about my bipolar disorder 2, how could I tell someone I could potentially break up with?

No.

This is a big no.

Plus, I have so many issues that resurface whenever I'm neutral or worse depressed.

I went to therapy when I was hypomanic (before the diagnosis) to solve them, but the therapist after 05 sessions said you need no more, you're good to go with the conclusion that I should listen to my body more in order not to burnout. And she was satisfied about how I dealt with the other issues.

So, if my insecurities and issues are soothed and well dealt with and empathized with when I'm hypomaniac, and only resurface when I'm depressed or neutral... how am I supposed to live with someone and have kids with them? How will I raise them? How can I have me as a mother? 💔

God, I can't even think about it...
Actually, I'm overthinking about it. I pray things will be alright.

I know quite a few people that are bipolar. They take medicine for that. Are you taking anything to help you get through this? I know it's really tough and I'm sorry you're having to deal with it. I know there's a medicine out that one person went to a hospital for and I can't remember what they give this person but it was like their life was turned from night to day and they were bipolar. I just now asked my daughter if she can remember what that was and then I'll tell you. Maybe they can find just the right medicine for you. I wonder if you have been diagnosed correctly. I mean I've seen it happen where they say you have this or that but it's actually something else. I do believe you I just wonder if you have a good doctor. I hope so. Please feel better soon. I know it's hard. ❤🫂 Please don't be too hard on yourself. You can't help this. And The Anarchist was right. People are much more accepting of mental challenges now than they were years ago. It's no longer looked at in a negative manner. I think they're much more understanding. People just can't help it I'm glad they finally turned that around because you couldn't even talk about it years ago. People would label you was crazy if you had any kind of mental challenges back then. I'm sure glad they got educated.

It looks like you're pretty in tune with yourself, in touch with your feelings and I'm glad about that. I think you'd make a great mother but that right now you're taking good care of yourself and that means everything. That's smart thinking.
