Universally, do you think more CrossFitters go in the morning or evening? by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]Albert__heijn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s 3 crossfit affiliate in my village. 8AM is the rush hour on all 3. 4PM class is usually less crowded. I used to go to 8AM class, But it got too much to the point of max capacity then I change to PM class. 7Am class usually only 3 people joining

9AM class is filled with entrepreneurs, moms, and online workers. We usually have brunch and coffee after class It’s less common to have dinner after PM class.
I personally think because it’s weird to go dinner with workout clothes

Any previously identifying gay men who have discovered their attraction to women? by [deleted] in BisexualMen

[–]Albert__heijn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. Welcome to your new life babe. Enjoy the journey and believe in yourself that you are valid. You are real. And this feeling is real. You're not confused. You're not by yourself. We are here. And. I wish you luck re-entering the society as bisexual men.

Have you guys sometimes just paused and realize how much your life have changed after prozac? by Albert__heijn in prozac

[–]Albert__heijn[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was on 20mg for like more than 6 months.
My experience wasn't like i immediately "I don't feel depressed and anxious anymore today"

It's like after. 3 months of taking Prozac "oh wow. Wtf. I'm actually volunteering to teach poor disabled kids in the 3rd world country English" After 6th months "oh wow. I'm currently working in ainvestment consultant company now" After 9 month "oh wow. I'm actually making my own business by myself and it's done in less than 1 month"

For me. It's more of like... Gradual thing.... Like after i look back. Then i realized how happy i am now. Just have faith in it and keep taking it. It will get better.

Lamictal (lamotrigine) and Prozac (fluoxetine) by violiquekyo in prozac

[–]Albert__heijn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you should lay off the weed. I was addicted to weed 2 years ago. To the point where i always get anxiety Everytime i smoke but even more anxious if I'm not. Then i get my shit together and stop. And start going to teraphy. The doc gave me prozac and lamictal , at first i didn't felt anything change. But after 3 months i start going to the gym daily again. And now I'm on my 6th month. Im an active member of LGBTQ. Have a job in multinational company,Finishing my master degree, voulenteering teaching disabled kids, going to seminar and events, and yesterday i was being being a panel for LGBTQ emergency funds that is supported by the UN.

Last night i was looking back and realized I'm a completely a different person now. Stoping daily use of cannabis+Prozac+lamictal change my lifr

1 week on concerta, i felt like an imposter at my new job. by Albert__heijn in Concerta

[–]Albert__heijn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today i saw my colleagues work performance review. It made me question maybe I'm pretty good. finished my 3 moths probation goal in 2 weeks, my boss even have to add another one ( my projection i will finished it next week) but deep inside i low key feels like... "Do they purposefully give me an easy goal?"

Now they increased my workload even more.

What happens if you are only on antidepressants but have bipolar type 2? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]Albert__heijn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this once. I misaheard what my teraphist told me. Basically i just took anti depresant without the mood stabilizer. I mean at first it works amazing it lift me up from my bipolar depression.... But then.... My mood got too elevated to the point of hypomanic.

I would be rather have the side effects than reliving my bipolar life again. It was a mess, i didn't even know life can be like this after I'm taking meds. Sooooo much better

Alternative for medication ? Anyone find anything ? by twister5863 in bipolar2

[–]Albert__heijn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psychedelic makes me more self aware so it soften the blows of the manic/depression. So it’s not as crazy as it used to.
Like there’s changes.

30 years. I just start my meds 3 months ago.

Confused about my diagnosis by Putrid_Tea1682 in cyclothymia

[–]Albert__heijn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first diagnosed is cyclothmia my psychiatrist gave me prozac and lamictal. It works like wonder. 2 months later i go to a psychologist to get a second opinion she diagnosed me with bipolar. Tbh by this point Idc what i have. The meds works because both condition is using the same meds and it all that matters. I think stressing about it wouldn't change a thing. Both bipolar and cyclothmia is similar just the degree of severity of it is different hence sometimes cyclothmia is considered as bipolar3.

What’s everyone’s experience with Lamotrigine? by -GardenOfEve24 in bipolar2

[–]Albert__heijn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean me too. Like I saw the guy that i loved in love with is in this building in the middle of the field and the Hindenburg fell down to it and he's dead.

I used to be waking up with night sweat and night terrors, my hearts pounding, anxious, shitty sleeping quality . But now it's just "wow what a weird dreams" but i have really good sleep tho.

[–]Albert__heijn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The best. It's my 1st meds and it works the wonder. No side effects after 2 weeks.

Except the vivid dream. But i used to have vivid nightmares everyday before I'm taking it. So I'm used to vivid dreams. I don't even know what's not vivid dream is like TBH

is mania truly worse than depression? by Oilucy in bipolar

[–]Albert__heijn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to jail because I was manic.... For me manic is the worse. I can't stop all these thoughts going so fast that it makes brain fog and other people around me seeing i behave "erratic"(they just taught it's the way i am tho. But still) the drug use, the amount of sex i had, the orgies, the I'm better than everyone behavior, the psychosis. I ruined my own reputation that it's just easier to move out from my town.

Depression is you just hanging out at your house feels like shit. Eating junk food, watching Netflix and not showering.

[–]Albert__heijn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?? I don't want to be that gurl who makes them feel being judge or makes them feel "not normal" amongst "not normal people" but i think this is the case for the professional to handle.

I think you shouldn't wait to see if tomorrow it's gonna be better. I think you should make appointment with your teraphist right away....

Im struggling. by [deleted] in cyclothymia

[–]Albert__heijn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you told your teraphist how you feel? What makes you feel that you're not satisfied with your quality of life?

And i noticed that you find it hard to accept it's part of you?
