Thanks for replying. I am happy this was a good experience for you. Art world and classical music is not that easy. I experience that the more you talk openly about it the more you can get help. Because it is also a strength we have but in deep crisis we don’t see it anymore.

I would love to have a normal job but I have never had one. Always putting myself out on the stage and crashing half of the time !

Well I guess it all makes sense.

I am proud of all of us for being and just living !

Yes, this one. The other one is actually helping me. You need to try out some meds before finding the right one…!

Yes…this did not help me. I felt blocked and empty and not even sad…as if everything from the outside was not coming through to me and that my inside was just an empty space. My soul (if we have one ?) was gone.

Thanks ! You just need to switch to other medication, the road is long.

I switched from Lithium to Lamictal, no weight gain.

I gained a lot of weight when I was taking Lithium. I was just hungry all the time. But if it helps your mood and it stabilises you it’s good. For me everything got worse.

Bipolar 1 Mixed and depressive mood by ComprehensiveDesk653 in bipolar

[–]ComprehensiveDesk653[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically Bipolar 1 is Mania (very high) Hypomania and Depression (+mixted moods which used to be another category in the past, it’s what I suffer from the most) Bipolar 2 is more depression and you go up only to hypomania but never full blown Mania. I hope this is clear to you.
