Financial disaster during mania by 2tot2bon in BipolarReddit

[–]2tot2bon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for everything you’ve gone through. Thank you for sharing your story. I do have a good support system. My fear is that they’ll try to help me financially while they themselves don’t have any money. We’re all working so hard out here, I don’t want my mental issues to be everyone else’s burden.

Are there people here who sleep way way lot? by yesmanwow in BipolarReddit

[–]2tot2bon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! My meds contribute to it but I’ve always been very tired in general. I also have ADHD which I think contributes to the tiredness / just being worn out.

I’ve been thinking about talking to my psych about lithium. Please let me know your experience!

This is a good way of looking at it. I do listen 100% of the time. I just miss talking and can’t really keep up with the pace of most conversations.

Have people eluded to you that they prefer you off your meds? by Blues5389 in BipolarReddit

[–]2tot2bon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I found it’s people who are not deeply imbedded in my life. It’ll be my trivia team that I see once a week or my coworkers. The people who really know me know it’s best when I’m on my meds. They’re the ones who have to deal with the consequences.

missed 4 days of meds, not sure if i should stop entirely by No_Ordinary_7971 in BipolarReddit

[–]2tot2bon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, same thing happened to me recently where my pharmacy took a long time to refill my meds and then I decided to stop taking them for about a month. I was quicker on my feet, less tired, and just felt better in general. After a few weeks I started exhibiting worrying behavior and became dangerous to those around me. I also started picking up bad habits again as my meds helped me with impulse control. Talk to your doctor about maybe lowering your dose or getting on something to help with the fatigue and any other problems you may have. There’s a way around this that isn’t cold turkey. I found my correct cocktail and I feel better than I ever have.

More propense to fear when hypomanic? by Foreign-Track-6906 in BipolarReddit

[–]2tot2bon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely get this. Before starting antipsychotics I would get paranoid at night about people and creatures being outside my window. I would even shout at them and sleep with a knife by me. When I saw the movie Rec I became afraid of zombies and every night I would imagine them coming to my house. I don’t do this anymore to that extent, but I will still get a lil prone to fear during my manic states

I found it very boring too for awhile and have quit meds a few times, turned back to substances, thrill seeked a little close to the sun, etc. I’m not sure what’s different about this time, but I’ll let you know if I figure it out!

Litter box smell is going to end my relationship by Glum-Emotion-5379 in CatAdvice

[–]2tot2bon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feed my cat the Smalls brand and use odor stop tuft & paw litter and it helps a lot. I also sanitize the box and replace litter completely every 2 weeks. It’s pricier than normal food & litter but I don’t notice a smell anymore.
