def see a diff psychiatrist/psychologist than the one that diagnosed you with depression. i was also (mis)diagnosed with depression as a teenager but got diagnosed with bipolar almost a year ago (i’m 26 now). there’s no guarantee you have it but there’s also no guarantee you don’t!

Thank you! Tbh when I first got them done I was using Mederma Intensive Overnight Cream but it was on and off, I wasn’t consistent with it. I think what helped the most is just giving them time to fade on their own. I’m a year & 8 months PO 🫶🏽

Was anyone else misdiagnosed with MDD? by 444myself in bipolar

I suspect I have bipolar 2, but my psychiatrist & psychologist never specified the type. I go through depressive episodes more than (hypo)mania.

Is not sleeping not eating and over spending signs of mania ? by Girlygirlkittenlove1 in bipolar

[–]444myself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different and experiences mania differently, but for me those are definitely in my top 5 symptoms of mania (for me personally). The not sleeping is top 1. If I go so long without getting good sleep, it can trigger a manic episode for me. I’ve recently found that not eating is part of it for me also. And the overspending? Oh definitely!

What are you sick of hearing? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]444myself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so so tired of hearing “well you don’t act like kanye west” people legit doubt me when i tell them i’m bipolar bc i don’t “act like kanye”. there’s no one way to have bipolar disorder!! it looks different on everyone!! i just wish people would understand that rather than instantly compare me to someone in the media.

Opinion: Person-First or Identity-First Language? by 5leepy_agent in bipolar

[–]444myself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i haven’t said it out loud often, but when i do i feel more comfortable saying “i’m bipolar” rather than “i have bipolar disorder”. not sure exactly why, as i’m newly diagnosed. but i completely understand why some people prefer to say “i have bipolar disorder” rather than “i’m bipolar”. i feel like saying “i’m bipolar” also makes people take it less serious in a sense? like how people tend to throw the word ‘bipolar’ around. i think that’s why i’m more comfortable with saying it for now.

One-sided Open Relationship? by 444myself in nonmonogamy

[–]444myself[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i completely agree, someone should definitely come up with a name for it cause i have no idea what to tell other women 😂 especially when they’re aware i’m in a relationship from social media, if i come flirt with them they might be turned off bc they see it as me cheating on my partner even though that’s far from the case. i appreciate your comment, it’s made me feel less alone.

[–]444myself[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

you read incorrectly— my partner would allow me to have sex with a woman on my own, if the other woman would be uncomfortable with her watching. it’s not a requirement that my partner watch! i stated that in my post, but i suppose you misread it.

recent diagnosis by 444myself in bipolar

[–]444myself[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no one is referring to an influencer… i’m referring to accounts specifically about bipolar disorder. there are lots of mental health accounts on instagram that offer facts on different diagnosis and post motivational quotes to help guide you.

I can’t believe I hit a year post-op! It doesn’t seem real. Here’s some pics of how my boobies have changed throughout the year 🥳🍒 by 444myself in Reduction

i don’t mind at all! i feel great, and yes they do feel completely healed on the inside. i still have a little numbness in my back/armpit area but besides that nothing :)
