i worry about my mental health. i rapidly cycle from super happy, talkative, excitement to hopelessness, crying in the car, thinking about death...but if i am considering the fact that i might be bipolar, does that mean i'm not...don't crazy people deny the fact that they are crazy? i was reading up on bipolar symptoms and i seem to fit everything, but isn't it pretty easy for everyone to say that?

i wonder if i should seek help.....and then i worry that if i got help or treatment, that i would lose my creativity and credit as an artist.

I hope that group help! And I am not a therapist or trained as such, and even after I go through my official hypnotherapy training won't be allowed to call myself that, but if you do need or want someone to talk with for free I am happy to help? It seems I usually end up playing a therapist on tv (figure of speech) and most people seem to be happy with me in that role so... happy to help for free until you find someone you can afford who is a trained professional? Just message me if you want / need that.

I work in mental health. A good rule of thumb is that if you think you're going crazy, you probably aren't. Self awareness is usually a good sign that what you're experiencing isn't pathological. That doesn't mean it doesn't suck though.

All sorts of things can cause experiences like that, from low blood sugar to anaemia to thyroid issues.

Do talk to someone if you're concerned. Doing that won't kill your creative edge. Promise.
