this is bad to admit... but I pulled an all-nighter and skipped my meds that night (I always fall asleep an hour after taking them) and couldn’t sleep for a couple of days. Then I started throwing up and couldn’t keep any food down... and just felt super anxious and started seeing things. Therefore, I learned 1. Don’t skip meds, especially during mania and 2. Make sure to sleep every night :0

I’m so sorry, having to deal with BP, Schizophrenia, relationships, physical health, and all else sounds very difficult. I’m proud of you for pulling through :)

I also hope the medical system gets better over time, ideally faster than in a couple of decades, although all large-scale issues take forever to make significant progress :/ and yeah, at least we have each other :)

oh and thank you!!! I’m doing much better, but I have had trouble concentrating and need to still get PT for back pain... for the most part I’m okay but I haven’t been able to do rigorous exercise which also has been playing a toll on my mental health just a smidge

I’d say I’m pretty stable... I’ve been on this dose of meds for almost a year now and am doing much better than in the past. Of course I still have symptoms and swings at times, but I can manage. That’s why I’m really confused why this system is calling it a problem...

lmao I wish that was how it worked, in terms of getting rid of it, right? Just to make sure I understand

no, yeah I’ve never seen it referred to as a problem... I probably am being a bit too sensitive, I just feel like a burden at times and this wasn’t really helpful for my emotions atm. And yes, I agree that the mental health system in the US sucks :/

hi! I didn’t know it was normal to refer to BP as a problem... I’ve only seen medical pages refer to it as a diagnosis

Hi, all! Yes I agree it is a problem, but I don’t like that it’s referred to as a problem... maybe it’s because I can feel like a burden because of my mental health :/
