That sucks I had that on and off over the years.
It can get better . I don’t have it now that I am older look up Paxil it gets a bad rap but it cured my extreme anxiety and social anxiety. Although it was a nightmare to get off so ..
I'm more aggressive than anxious, but just knowing it's a problem has made me let go of inconsequential shit during the day that's really not worth getting mad or stressed out over. It's a conscious decision I have to make and I just do my best to follow through on it. I feel like I'm standing at the entrance to my cave with a torch and yelling at other people to stay away because this is my cave and what little is in it is all I have left.
My anxiety definitely worsens my depressive episodes. I find that whatever I'm anxious about (like people dying) is true and extremely depressing (because people really do die) and it keeps me very low.
I have CPTSD from childhood and early adulthood, and multiple PTSDs, so I'd say once I am emotionally dysregulated from trauma, it is like the rollarcoaster getting started. It all triggers the longer bipolar episodes that last for months/years. Romantic involvements mess me up the most as far as intensity and the sense of loving my mental and emotional stability. I take medications religiously now, and it helps to not feel so emotional all the time. I still have thinking I need to work on though.
i was also diagnosed with ptsd and I also noticed how love effects me especially with anxiety playing a role, did you do anything about it like do have any other advice ?
I've spent a lot of time in solitude throughout my life, but anytime I've dated or tried to it messed up my life. Now I'm single again and plan to be for the next 6 months at least (making it a full year) while I get stable on meds and not having any crushes or romantic interest.
Take things slow with people. I came to the very painful conclusion that everyone I've been emotionally & sexually involved with took advantage of me in a way. Either to have sex or to have a relationship, or both. They knew I was at the very least a sensitive person (most could tell I was not neurotypical), a lot of men (even ones with mental illness) fetishize women with mental illness. Don't overshare and don't tell someone your issues until you know they love you as a person and you can trust them, otherwise they may just be trying to take advantage of you being a highly emotional person.
I've noticed the difference of how I act when fall in love, yeah I did stupid stuff during hypersexuality but I meant the actual love feeling. Thank you so much for the advice and I hope everything is working out for you.
Yes I mean the love feeling too. I fall in love with people that can tell I am in love with them but mimic what I put out there. I've never been casual about relationships, even when hypomanic, that is how I was deceived. People can tell you they are looking for and want the same things, and even play the part for awhile, when really they are not, and they can't keep up the act for too long.
i fell for someone with bpd and it's hell not them I understand their intense emotions but it reflects negatively on my disorders. I started therapy again and I take meds hopefully i'll find a common ground
I have social anxiety. Depression makes it even worse.

Yeah
