I don't have any advice for you titymane because i don't know what you are dealing with, but with regard to coping I would like to point out that you said that you have had a mental breakdown every day for a week and you are still pushing on, that is a massive effort! You are coping somehow, and you should take strength in your strength. It has been acknowledged that those of us who suffer from and manage long term mental health issues are very resilient, more so than the general population. Take care.

My mental health is such a roller coaster I hate it. If I’m not occupied by things I start spiraling. It doesn’t help that I keep forgetting to take my medication... which is really the only thing that stabilizes my severe mood swings ://

Like just now I was doing ok, I’m just looking at stuff on instagram before I go to sleep. Then I realized something and I got really really sad and now it feels like my heart is gonna shatter. It’s so dumb. I wish my emotions were stable like everyone else. Like why do I have to suffer these things that everyone else takes for advantage?? It’s frustrating because I really don’t have any control over my emotions, my medication does. That’s so... idk, it just makes me feel like :/. I’d do anything to have a normal functioning brain.

(Btw I don’t really need advice or anything, please don’t feel obligated to reply to this unless you really want to. I just wanted to let it out before I go to sleep bc if I keep stuff inside I end up getting nightmares)

That used to be me...
I literally came off my meds years ago (probably 2012ish) because I just forgot to take a dose and then 1 dose became 2 and so on...
Well, I think part of the problem was timing and making it part of a routine. At that time, I was just taking my meds whenever rather than at a set time. It works best for me if I pair it with something else. So, right now, I take it with lunch (because it needs to be taken with food anyway). 
I used to be on something that had to be taken on an empty stomach. So, my morning routine was get out of bed, take my med, then go to the bathroom. For me, it should be part of some routine whether it's wakeup routine, bedtime routine, or a mealtime routine.
Although, I know that can be hard depending on what meds. I tried something a few years ago I had to take every 8 hours. The first dose was when I woke up but 8 hours later was the middle of my workday & it was hard for me to consistently take b/c I didn't have a desk job.

When I got a smartphone (2016), I found a free app MediSafe that will give me reminders if I don't mark my medication as taken. When the reminder comes up, I can snooze it or skip it. If I skip, it will ask for a reason, like "I don't have my med with me." 

(I know you said you don't need advice but this is probably helpful for a lot of people.)

Crying my ass off. 
I have two days left in late aunt’s house and it breaks my heart that I will never, ever again be able to return and some strangers will be living here. It has been my safe space since I was little.

I wanted to update the last thing i said here; things are kinda better now, i had a really productive day. Like... SUPER productive. My-hands-are-literally-sore productive. For some reason I got a gush of energy after getting a package of stuff ive been waiting for and i started doing things ive been putting off—i fixed up a shirt that was too small on me and now it looks cooler, and i made SO much jewelry stuff. My thumbs hate me but its fine it was worth it, even if i broke a nail or two in the process (i dont have acrylics, my nails are just naturally long enough to break). I think my favorite thing i did today, besides revamping my shirt, was i managed to get a pretty chain that im gonna start using as a mask chain and decorated it with cute stuff like beads and whatnot. Its all pink which is the color i wear the most irl so im happy. Hopefully this happiness lasts a little longer...?

I just started reading Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change by Jeffrey Foote, Carrie Wilkens, Nicole Kosanke, and Stephanie Higgs. They write, "Acceptance does not mean approving, giving up, or detaching; it means recognizing things for what they are, no better but no worse either."

I wish someone had told me that sooner. 
I literally had 10 weeks of "acceptance" therapy and never heard that definition....(I was really confused & frustrated by so-called acceptance therapy, but maybe that's a story for another time.)

I wish i wasnt like... idk what the word for it is actually. I wanna say extroverted? I’m social to a really bad extent. I have a hard time shutting up and it sucks. Ive been reconnecting with an old friend, whos very anxious and introverted, and i think i already overwhelmed them. It makes me sad because i didnt mean to... i thrive off of talking to people, it makes me happy. Literally all of my recent MBTI results (from 2019 to now) have started with an E for extrovert and yet i never read the little warnings they give in those tests which i probsbly should because a lot of them probably mention how to fix this. I feel dumb and i want to apologize to them but ive already sent so many messages. This person used to be one of my best friends a year ago i feel stupid for allowing myself to drift away from them. I think im gonna wait until they respond to my texts and then apologize 
quick edit: its not that i lack boundaries btw. Im a very cautious person dont get me wrong, i always make sure the topics i talk about arent possibility triggering to people i talk to. My problem is i literally cant shut up i get too excited and happy when i talk to people and then realize im overwhelming them so i end up sad about it lol

Hi Miesha. I think you've mentioned before that you either have or think you have ADHD. My understanding is that talking a lot can be due to ADHD.
I was diagnosed with ADHD last year. Talking a lot is one of my symptoms of "hyperactivity & impulsivity," even though I am an introvert. I don't like parties or crowds. But in a small setting, especially when I know people (friends, family, coworkers), I talk too much. It can make other people uncomfortable. I don't have a solution for you; I just thought I could relate.

Today has been an okay day for me. I’m now back to sleeping at night and getting up in the morning instead of sleeping all day. Yay me! Thank my alarm clock that stimulates daylight and uses nature sounds as it’s alarm lol. 

Now though I’m super bored and disinterested in everything and not interested or wanting to do anything to alleviate said boredom. Meh. Depression sucks.
