I had been diagnosed a year and a half ago about with bipolar disorder. Just like an hour ago I was made aware that bipolar is not just the extreme manic episodes and I now actually believe the diagnosis.

There's been a lot of buildup in my life lately to make me incredibly unstable. The past few days I've made extremely bad decisions that have ruined a few relationships (one romantic) and now that I'm out of it I want to make things better but I don't know where to start.

I'm going to visit a friend three hours away out of state to get away from things and come back to a "fresh start," and when I get there I'm going to put my phone in safe mode, so no social media for a bit for me, but I would appreciate some guidance and advice.

I am currently on a wait-list for a therapist for those about to suggest it.
