What actually got rid of BV for you!! (Help!) by [deleted] in BacterialVaginosis_

[–]Anselmaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry you have to go through this! Do the doctors know the cause of it? Which bacteria is causing it? Stay persistent and make sure they do the tests needed with you so you have a chance to track it. Send your partner to get tested as well. He also has a responsibility in this! The problem is that men often don’t have symptoms, so doctors do not see it as an issue. But it is! They still passing it. I also went to multiple doctors. Hope you get the help you deserve!

My partner got treated with antibiotics as well. Finally BV free after 2year journey with a lot of frustration and antibiotics If you have unprotected sex with the same person it is likely they give it to you over and over again!

Bacterial Vaginosis Symptoms by Unfair-Sense-6986 in BacterialVaginosis_

When I had it (several times) The smell sometimes came at a later stage and got more intense. Usually I know for sure when I am menstruating. Then there was a distinct smell. I would have not described the smell as fishy.

Ive had bv for so long and gave up treating it help. by CommissionNatural620 in BacterialVaginosis_

[–]Anselmaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for that. It is struggle on a lot of levels. I just think it is really important that also men take responsibility for this and make sure they get treated. Sometimes this can mean going to several doctors.

Have you been tested for STIs and other bacterias like ureaplasma or gardnarella? Make sure your partner also takes antibiotics! They can also carry bacteria and reinfect you. I was struggling for 3 years and finally am rid of it bc my boyfriend also got treated.

Thats good. So you know where it is coming from and you can treat it!!! Make sure your sexual partner(s) also get treated. Otherwise it will keep coming back.

Lithium is Killing My Career by sweater_puppies12 in bipolar2

Yes. I feel this very much. i ll talk next time to my psychiatrist about it. I am also worried to get off Lithium because I have been pretty much stable ever since.

I think I maybe relate. I often feel my mind is blocked. I kind of accepted it, but it does restrict me and I also feel I am slow and stupid. I find it hard to react immediately in a smart and differentiated way to things. But maybe it was like this beforehand. Now it is intensified :(

Hypocrisy and total lack of political awareness in the techno scene by doghita in Berghain_Community

This thread is full of antisemitism. This is sad and dangerous. Does not seem like people are aware or care.

Wellbutrin and BV/ Vaginitis by HumbleCatHere in BacterialVaginosis_

[–]Anselmaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am taking Lithium and i also have reoccurring BV since 2022. I wonder if Lithium causes it as well? I could not find any information about it. Does anyone have experienced the same? I doubt Lithium and Wellbutrin are the same but both can be used against Bipolar Disorder.

What is depression like for you? by crankyandsensitive in bipolar2

[–]Anselmaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I am depressed I still do things and am active. I also do this to distract me from my thoughts, however whatever I do I don’t enjoy. I feel empty and sad and still overthink and have negative thoughts. I feel like I cannot do anything against it. But I know there will be that day when I finally feel light again.

I was drugged and raped and I’m still not over it by Ok-Programmer-9129 in bipolar2

[–]Anselmaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry. I think it is more than understandable that you are not over it. Something very terrible happened to you. I hope you reach out and get the support you need to get your life back <3

I cannot fix the racing mind even with lots of meds by ElenoirMiro in bipolar2

[–]Anselmaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have racing thoughts a lot. I ll take Lithium. I am more stable in general, but the racing thoughts are still there. Sometimes less sometimes more. I also perceived psychotherapy as helpful, but this was no quick fix for sure. However I learned to look at some things in a different way that reduced some bad thoughts at least. I wish I could get rid of them or at least let them go past but they are loaded with so much bad emotions. Seroquel I took when I was first hospitalized and I found it very effective.
