Am gonna be honest about what is going on for me at the moment. Currently experiencing what seems to be dysphoric hypomania and transient psychotic thoughts. For the past few days I've been thinking that they are correct and I should go through with some plans I made, but things feel different today and I'm feeling more rational and looking back at some of the stuff I wrote on Saturday I think it's definitely a MH thing.
Apparently this could be caused by consistently taking more of hormone than I should, because I'm really ****ing uncomfortable with my body and want my BMI below 18. I knew that was unhealthy and could intensify anxiety, but I didn't realise the psychosis and hypomania potential. Because I'm seeing things from a clearer perspective today, I have decided that it's not worth this to lose weight. My weight is already normal, and if this recent MH stuff spirals further I'm going to end up dead.
I'm going to take my hormones like I'm supposed to. And I'm going to postpone acting on life-threatening plans until my blood levels are back to normal (will take a few weeks to stabilise). I hope that I'll stay like I am today because I'm fairly sure that I was having delusions of reference on Saturday, but if I speak to anyone and I seem to be back there, if you could point me to this post and tell me to wait a few weeks I'd appreciate it.
Feel really uncomfortable writing this post because after all my "I'd do ANYTHING to get rid of my MH problems" it looks like my own body image issues have made me do something that's made stuff worse. I do really hope that the psychosis stuff is caused by the hormone excess rather than anything else, because I can at least solve that, and hopefully I can stay strong enough to woman the **** up and accept my body at a healthy weight.
