I have bipolar (type 2).
Diagnosed in 2016, aged 27.
I've been through absolute hell.
Repeated attempts to unlive.
One attempt has left me with minor acquired hypoxic brain injury as I stopped breathing.
Mainly effects short term memory and perception.
Was once reported as a missing person and appeared on BBC News.
After years of depression, I came out the other side and have a good life now, but I often need to remember to go easy on myself.
Despite how good my life is now, I still think about unliving at least once every day.
Not in terms of wanting that, but like, what if it worked before, or will I *ever* do it at some time during my life in the future. Or whatever.
Has anybody else got bipolar (or similar) with experiences you would like to share? 😊
