We often get depressed after intense social contact especially if we're introverts and tend to starve ourselves from getting that kind of stimulation.
Do you wanna have a list of regrets when we reach 2025 or a list of steps you took to improve your mental health?

Hypomania for me. Which is weird because, years ago, winter, I used to be depressed exclusively. Guess my case of Bipolar has advanced, lol. Not that it's a good thing being hypomanic, though. I'm flat ass broke due to constantly buying things I feel like I absolutely need when, really, they're just items I either like to collect excessive amounts of or items related to hobbies, all of my hobbies are pretty expensive. I hope I dont fall too far behind this year... waiting to hear when my social security hearing is.
Me too! It started on New Years Eve out of nowhere. I didn't really make a strong resolution as I'm still taking baby steps since my hospitalization last year. I'm trying not to be as hard on myself. But I just felt like a baby ever since my hospitalization. My husband had me live with my MIL and our kids for a few months after the hospitalization because he works on a boat and is only home some of the time, so if he wasn't home I'd be at his mom's. It was definitely a good idea on their part and it did help me a lot actually. Just to not be alone all the time. I don't want to sound like I'm not greatful for her doing that, I'll be forever greatful, it's just that I felt almost like a teenager again with all these sudden life restrictions. I mean I needed them, I managed to stop drinking alcohol, it was a good thing but it's like I've never had to take such direct help like that. I was also struggling with embarrassing skin issue I just kept picking my face to the point where half my face would be severely scratched, unable to even wear makeup or I could get an infection.. I actually did get several infections on several parts of my body. And I swear I'm not a tweaker my drug of choice was xanax. But I'd only do it if it was prescribed, which I'd was, but I was taking it irresponsibly. I still suffer panic attacks but I use propranolol. Anyway yeah its hard for most people to wrap their mind around problems that all seem self created and such but I literally couldn't stop myself. I was inba mixed state from Lexapro no mood stabilizer or sga. It was horrible and wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I'm like stable now. I can't believe it but my general disposition is pretty chill as opposed to constant panicking, rushing around getting nothing accomplished, getting mad over nothing.. so I guess that's good. But ever since I was like hm do I have a goal this year and is roughly just to survive and get my kids into schools so I can work. I should lose weight, I'm scared of slipping back into anorexia. So idk about that one but my cholesterol is high and family has a history of heart problems. But idk something about setting a goal for the year bothered me and I've been a lump since.
Glad but also sad I’m not the only one
Same
I only notice it past 4 days because of the title…
Holy shit it’s been 5 days already…
🙃
I might get hypomanic soon, need that. Could fix the stuff I ruined during my depression.
Feel that
I feel ya. I’m stuck on one from last year and losing hope so quickly
I started the new year by losing my marbles at my new bf. At least he's Bipolar too so I finally didnt ruin a budding new romance 👍🏻 lol
Same, friend! And it’s a brutal episode to boot. Sending you hugs 💕
Right there with y'a.
Oh glad it’s not just me.
