so emotional... I don't know what it is but I've been super sensitive and emotional today. I know…

I don't have much advice but do you see a counsellor or therapist or sorts? I feel these questions and issues would be best brought up to a professional.

I think it can be normal to be upset about bad experiences from your past especially if you haven't talked to someone and learned ways to cope or let go of these negative experiences. I am very sorry for whatever you have gone through. I hope you can seek out some sort of help to be able to deal with the past and feel in control of your emotions.

I've done a lot of therapy and feel I've gotten all i can from that. But, I have been considering getting back on the medication. I just always felt kinda ashamed having to take medication every day.

I was doing well without it and not so sure what's changed.

Maybe I should have some random opinion or view into my relationship that put me in an unfavorable and vulnerable position. Smh

If you've been diagnosed as bipolar you may be cycling into a depressive phase. I don't think there's a rhyme or a reason to when they happen it may not have anything to do with how life has been going. It might just be the cycle in your illness.

In my personal experience I don't get super angry or upset about things that happened years ago. However I just had an argument with my aunt over something that happened 10'years or more ago that she's still upset about. So it's certainly not unheard of (though she has cancer and lots of other issues so that is what seems to be pushing the anger from years ago) I personally compartmentalize my life and once I leave a situation I close the door on that and try not to look back. so I don't tend to stay upset about things for a long time.

I don't know that this is useful. Maybe someone else will have a helpful idea?

I appreciate the responses ladies. Sometimes having a little advice and support is so helpful.

I would recommend getting a journal and writing down how you're feeling. Write down things that are upsetting you, triggering your mood swings, and more. It sounds silly but it can help you release the stress you're feeling when you keep bringing it back up to think about. Put it in the journal and forget about it.

Also there is no shame in taking medication to help you. Sometimes our bodies do crazy, hormonal things that we can't control or regulate. If the medicine was helping you then I'd say it's worth another try!
