Autistic + Bipolar

Is there anyone else out there that has both of these? I really need someone to talk to because I’ve just come down from a bad manic episode and as a result of it I feel incredibly messed up and guilt ridden. My mum says it’s not my fault or the real me but I worry that the bipolar me is my repressed inner self. I can’t look at my family the same anymore because I said some really bad things.

  • That was not the real you and your mum is very wise.

    Someone very lovely, close to me had a psychotic episode and was the anti-Him a while. We've forgotten now he's well. We know the real him. He has nothing to feel guilty or responsible for, he was temporarily unwell.

    You have nothing to be sorry for - you weren't well. Now you are better. Those who love you have already forgotten and never blamed you anyway x
