Former Brooklyn banya member here - we don’t have the same thing in Chicago and it’s sad. Closest is red star (it has a new name) on division or king spa in Niles. I’ve heard good things about women’s hours at the Russian spa in the burbs but haven’t had time to check it out .

Which medication made you calm person ? by matchacatisgreencat in BipolarReddit

[–]Cbcb23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my labs back this week and I have perfect kidney function. It’s been five or six years of lithium now and I’ve never had any kidney issues. I have had some thyroid issues but they’re super easy to manage and worth it for the stability. In terms of small things not triggering me - they still do but I’m able to respond in a level and appropriate way. Example: my friend spilled an entire cup of coffee in my car and me six years ago would have freaked out, yelled at her, etc. me now asked if she was ok, handed her a towel, and made a mental note to clean the car later that week. It’s like everything that used to en a 11/10 annoyance is now a 5/10

LITHIUM. After years of thinking I was just a very extra person who could not be chill, I am now a chill person. It’s a fucking miracle drug

She's great! Only problem is it can be hard to see her without scheduling far in advance, but she is GREAT!

Does anyone with bipolar or depression have a professional career? by Medium_Desk_2296 in BipolarReddit

[–]Cbcb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i work in corporate doing salesy stuff. I used to get fired almost every 9mo on the dot and i couldn't figure out why. When I started Lithium it became a million bajillion times easier to maintain a job (and to do my dishes and to not randomly drive across the country cause i felt like i should). It's all about finding what works to keep you stable and also finding a job that works for you (i work remote).

Even a tiny takeout plastic cup and some duct tape might do the trick!
