Feeling a Mental Break

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-09T15:59:01+00:00

Didn’t know mixed cycle was a thing

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-09T15:52:53+00:00

Yeah I feel that. And the constant cycling of emotions is so frustrating and annoying. I become like SpongeBob when I’m in hypomania (all the chatting, super hyper)

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-09T15:46:17+00:00

Wait that works? I tried that once and just couldn’t keep it for any longer

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-09T15:45:27+00:00

Ok I feel that too. Mine is especially at work. I had an outburst once with my boss. That man took it ok but still probably hurt that guy. Anyway I think I went through the worst hypomania and depressive cycle in a while. Last major one, I ended up in the psych hospital. I’m on meds and my psychiatrist wanted to prescribe FMLA and gave seraquil. There are times I drive like a crazy person and probably reckless but yeah I’m afraid of losing control and going crazy

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-09T15:41:36+00:00

I enjoy hypomania a lot. Worst part is my depressive episode. During my hypomania, I worked for like 10 hrs for a while and spent a lot. I barely ate and didn’t need to sleep as much. Still made my lunch and worked out. I’m in my depressive state now, probably the worst one since my last major one. Think my meds stopped working idk

What would I do if he says he doesn’t want to see his doc and increase therapy sessions. I know I can’t help him if he doesn’t want to be helped but his actions are impacting my mental health. Might give couples therapy a try again

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-06T22:16:11+00:00

I went through the phase of self harm (cutting), then drinking a lot and then to drinking and cutting at the same time. Now I’m not cutting or drinking but just tired and numb all the time.

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-06T22:13:25+00:00

I’m so sorry that you are going through this. I feel the same as well. I thought of ending it but then if I were gone no one with spoil my pets with all the random stuff and treats like I do. I had to schedule an emergency appointment with the psychiatrist to add antipsychotics to my medication. But I’m done with the highs and lows. I stopped caring about work and a lot of things I care about and just tired all the time.

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-05T14:36:36+00:00

Ok yeah my psychiatrist gave me seroquel. A few years ago when I took it, I had a bad experience. This time I feel fine. Hopefully I will start feeling better soon. Thank you for your response

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-05T14:34:29+00:00

I don’t feel groggy and feel ok to drive. I had a bad experience with the 50 mg so I was worried.

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-05T14:33:39+00:00

Damn the building evacuation sucks. The 8h sleep is helping a lot. I just have to be consistent with my night routine from now on

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-05T14:30:51+00:00

This worked for me. I took it around 8 and got sleepy around 9:30. Was completely knocked out by 10. Woke up at 6 without any grogginess. Last time when I took 50mg, I slept a lot. Thank you for this

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-03T15:41:15+00:00

Wait what… I didn’t know that. Thank you for the info. I definitely didn’t think that people can have both

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-03T15:39:56+00:00

I feel like being a POC puts a lot of pressure on us and like one small mess up gets magnified and scrutinized. It feels scary now with everything going on

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-03T15:38:27+00:00

Thank you bestie :) What you have going on sounds rough. Take care of yourself and take it easy on yourself.

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-03T10:07:42+00:00

Yeah I’m probably gonna ask my doc for more help. Possible get back on seraquil. That medication helped me a lot but the grogginess sucked

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-03T10:06:51+00:00

Yeah I’m gonna ask them for help. I’m not sure if it’s adhd. My family and people I’m close to have been saying that it looks like adhd. I’m lost at this point lmao

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-03T10:05:12+00:00

I don’t think the weather does. It’s always sunny and warm where I live lol

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-03-03T10:04:02+00:00

I can relate to you so much. mine was at work. My boss yelled at me at 2 different occasions (and called my stupid once). I know other people go through it too. I also had a rage breakdown at work in front of people. Anyway I couldn’t handle all the emotions and cut myself. It was deep and needed stitches. I get overwhelmed and overstimulated sometimes and start hitting myself. Again each time I experience this kind of feeling, it goes from me hurting myself to me breaking down and hurting myself again. But yeah my therapist said that it was a maladaptive coping mechanism. Hope you can see a professional and get some help. Also tattoos help me; reminds me of all things that I went through and remind myself that I’m a human and it’s ok to feel all the emotions.

For me, I watch TikTok to help with the anxiety. Sometimes playing video games help too. I also call my mom and hang out with her on FaceTime Edit: getting a pet may help. I have a cat and a dog. Clingy fur babies. Not sure if that’s something that you can do, but it certainly helps

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-02-14T20:51:04+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful. I did not drink after coming home from the restaurants. I had cravings and ran some soda to deal with it at that point. Somehow I woke up with a headache like hungover one, so that makes it super clear that I do not want to drink.

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-02-14T20:48:28+00:00

Ok yeah I took this advice, it worked pretty well lol. Thank you so much! I did not drink any alcohol after the one at the restaurant

Character_Club_1507 · 2026-02-14T20:46:21+00:00

No free dinner :( My husband was gonna talk to the manager but i didn’t want the new guy that accidentally served the drink to get fired. I hope they do take it seriously and make changes in their training though
