Hi all! I was just discharged from the hospital (Bipolar 2 here), and I’m looking for peer support as I get back into real life.

emotionalMaple2600 OP February 6th

It’s been a serious struggle, but I think I’m getting over the post-discharge hump. Did lots of thinking, lots of listening to music, lots of journaling, lots of praying, kept going to therapy, meds are also probably kicking in now that I’ve been on them a few days. Then I performed yesterday (first time since September, I’m a musician), and had good opera/show rehearsals, so I’ve been keeping myself busy with good music projects. Something clicked after my performance and I felt more like myself :)
