I have undiagnosed bipolar type 1 im 15 and I have done exactly what he is doing in the pasted I say this as something I would want depending on where you live look for residential treatment centers I went to one and it literally saved me I made new coping skills and I can work threw my emotions. But I have developed PTSD for that place so be careful of the place you pick

I am so pleased you learned coping skills at the residential treatment center ( and am so sorry some PTSD lingers from that stay). How long did you stay there ? ( I’m unfamiliar what would be the typical time frame - if there even is a typical time frame ) I too would be interested in what skills you learned that you could share. Bipolar is a challenge , something no one would choose , but simply something some people will have to deal with … and in the case of my son, I see this challenge has made him wise beyond his years.

Hello @charliebent and welcome to Mayo Connect. I appreciate you sharing your story of Bipolar Disorder and I'm glad to hear that you have developed some coping skills. That is just great!
If you are comfortable doing so, would you like to share some of the skills that you learned while in a residential treatment center?
