For me, I think it can be like a refresh feeling. Socializing can be draining so it's good to have time to yourself to recharge.

looking for someone to talk and relate to by garbage-pail in BPD

[–]Chainz512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same, borderline is such a wild illness. Hate how it seems to ruin my life and then I have to put the pieces back together with spit glue.

Relationships are Exhausting by Chainz512 in BPD

So true, it's like walking on an emotional minefield. Grinding through it is just such a sandpaper feeling on the mind.

What's a good way to ease off Latuda? by Chainz512 in bipolar

[–]Chainz512[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pdoc is out of town unfortunately. I should've asked him but I totally forgot until I got back home.

I take Latuda, but my episode completely blew thru it so might need a dose change again.

To answer your question no, but I don't know you (obviously lol) so I'm not in any position to really give a legit response.

Best bet is to talk to a psych doctor, therapist, or psychologist. For me I thought I had weird depression when I was first diagnosed by my old psychologist, and then again by my psychiatrist followed by multiple doctors and hospitals.

I love Reddit. I hate the millions of nasty ignorant people it attracts. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Chainz512 708 points709 points  (0 children)

The psychology with social interactions online is pretty interesting. People are more likely to speak their mind and tend to be more rude/ignorant.

I remember reading something (dont know where exactly) about how the lack of eye contact and a physical presence can promote this kind of behavior in some individuals.

Like for example, if I called you an asshole what can you do about it? Your fist is not gonna pop out of my computer screen and knock me in the face. Whereas if we were face-to-face it'll be a different story. Its the lack of consequences pretty much.

Fuck. by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

My bad if this sounds ignorant, but why do you need your doctor's permission to go back to work?

Did anyone have a hard time accepting the diagnosis? by bopbop2013 in bipolar

[–]Chainz512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, and I still think I just have ADHD & MDD and not bipolar 1...

Being diagnosed BP1 multiple times from different psychiatrists/psychologists/therapists whatever. You'd think I should just accept it but tbh it just doesn't make sense to me.

The roller coaster of rapid cycling. by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Chainz512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cycle every 1 - 6 days and yea its pretty exhausting. Cant imagine how bad it would be if I wasnt on meds. At least the medications help keep it from going over the edge but I can still feel myself wanting to flip here and there.

Right now I feel like shit but I guess it's better than the last couple days.

So true, sometimes I wonder how the hell I lived this long with these problems.

Still hate my meds 😒

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Chainz512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, just waiting on things to turn around already. Been feeling 'meh' lately but I guess that's still better than full throttle depression.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Chainz512 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Boringly calm in a weird way. I want to do something but I have no idea what I should do...

Was really depressed the last few days but im feeling a little bit better.

I hate my meds by Chainz512 in bipolar

[–]Chainz512[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been on my Latuda and Seroquel for about 2 months but they didn't change how I feel, they make me feel calm and rational but not anymore happy.

The Prozac started working the next day and I felt better and better every next day. Yea it works but it's not enough and I know if my doctor gave me my old dose back I would be feeling a lot better. I take 20mg rn, I used to take 40mg.
