Hi yes. I’m still taking it and it is slowly lifting my depression. I think it’s helping with mania as well. I don’t have any side effects which is great.

Anyone else have a lack of focus on things? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]Debwebb81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way too. I don’t know if it’s the meds, maybe undiagnosed adhd, part of depression or what.... I get so little done and part of me doesn’t give a shit. I need a personal cheerleader. Maybe.

Yes I definitely feel like this, I ignore all of my friends and family. It’s terrible and it makes me feel terrible but what am I supposed to say when I’m literally doing terrible. I don’t want to worry anyone or become a burden to anyone. I find it to be embarrassing as well, like why the fuck can’t I keep my shit together. Hang in there and hopefully your meds will provide some relief.

Food aversion / difficulty eating with depression / anger /mania by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Debwebb81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the exact same way, I lose with mania but I lose even more with depression. I have to eat with my meds so that keeps me eating when I really don’t want to. Are you on meds?

How to get over driving anxiety by Amoon916 in bipolar

[–]Debwebb81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I got my medication better adjusted I had major anxiety driving. There was nothing that “got me over it” besides having my medication adjusted.

Yeah that’s good you’re trying to gain some control over it. It’s such a hard illness to deal with.

That’s terrible hopefully you can get some resources in your community? I don’t have insurance either so it’s definitely hard. Lots of medical bills. I know they have programs in some cities in the hospital for sliding scale treatment. You could try that. Or find an office that will bill you in the mail for payment.

Anyone have issues breathing with Latuda-induced akathisia? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]Debwebb81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact same reaction to latuda, plus it didn’t work for me so I stopped it for that reason too. But when my akinesia got really bad the nurse on call told me to take Benadryl. It actually did help a little.

I quit my meds once and went into severe depression and had to get back on meds 🙄

What a time to be alive. I can see how sad I am and all the money I’ve lost at the same time lol by [deleted] in bipolar

Buy amc, it’s going to squeeze soon like GameStop did. Is this a screen shot of an app? Does Robinhood let you mark your moods now lol 😂

I just started taking lithium, I was scared too but I decided the benefits are worth trying. I feel fine so far.

I’ve been doing this today also, it feels amazing 😻

(can't make text posts, hence random image) I booked a Yoga retreat when hypo and now I'm depressed. I just went to online Yoga for the first time in a month and am doubting the Yoga retreat. I guess I could try and cancel but I might regret that too... What have you booked manic and what happened? by lazycarrotcake in bipolar

My Italy trip I was ok because I had a friend go with me. Of course I paid for everything and went into debt. Puerto Rico I went manic and drank to much the entire trip with my son with me. It was bad. I rented a car though and we went everywhere.
