hello, I have a diagnosis of bipolar, i also have GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) I am taking seroquel and beta blockers and am coming off venlafaxine
I have been really struggling to stop negative thoughts, i keep going over in my head how awful my DC's father treated me when we were together and generally over the years how badly he has neglected the DCs and been so unsupportive of me. of course this is not the only 'bad shit' i have had in my life but at the moment seems to be something i can't let go.
Does anyone have any advice on how to stop these bad thoughts from 'spiralling' I just cant seem to let go of the past and I don't want to be bitter about a situation i have no real control over.
ie the current situation (tip of iceberg here)is their dad is telling them i have poisoned them against me (nope ,he did that all himself) he wont contribute to their upbringing (never has) I have told him he cant visit the DCs in my house he must take them out and actually be responsible for them and of course he has told the DCs i am not letting him see them at all.
I know its a lot to deal with and probably normal to dwell on it but i dont want to spend my time and thoughts on someone who was just awful to me and DC's.
How can i fill my brain with more positive thoughts?
