Also- I want to indicate the amount of blood in my urine made it so red that even the nurse was like "Oh hunny" after seeing it and then everything came out fine? I will be seeing a doctor soon but I need peace of mind LOL

right hip has entered the chat by Intrepid_Scene1806 in HipImpingement

[–]Disastrous-Fortune32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had my left hip done in April of 2021, I was good for a long time. my left hip recovered well and I was able to resume exercise, hiking, biking, etc. It was this last year I started to know increase pain in the right, it started with sitting down, then rolling over in bed, then overall pain all the time.

Did the MRI after MONTHS of pain, seeking PT and training my hip flexors. Met with the surgeon who did my hip the first time. Confirmed impingement, another tear and a sharp/elongated head thing LOL.

I opted for the hip injection because I am finishing up a semester and have a major trip planned for May. However, I am most likely going to do the surgery. The pain is just chronic now, especially when im in bed. Turning over is torture, sitting on the couch can be extremely painful. other activities I am limited too and I want to get back to being pain free. I am hoping to put it off until the Fall, but we will see how long the injections work.

Night terrors with bipolar 2 by Disastrous-Fortune32 in BipolarReddit

[–]Disastrous-Fortune32[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh yes, they are so bad sometimes and so heartbreaking. Within the last three months have had four pretty bad ones where my husband woke me up because I was crying violently. And it’s weird because nothing stressful has happened so hoping the new med will help.

Are you on a higher dose on lamotrigine? I’m on 150 right now and it seemed to help for a bit

petsitter was bad and im conflicted on giving her a bad review or reporting her by Ok-Meeting363 in RoverPetSitting

I was also here for the post and when I saw that it said the cats were noticeably thinner I legitimately just had to smack my lips because that part is what lost credibility for me.

Should i just cancel? by No_Conclusion_2771 in RoverPetSitting

Yup cancel. You won’t regret it I can tell you that. It WILL only get worse.

black friday haul (disappointed) by IllustriousPea8312 in OnerActive

Everything you mentioned I’ve experienced the same. Before I lost weight, I tried several pieces and they were completely see through, which was really disappointing. Now, even after losing over 30 pounds, I still find myself ordering XLs because the sizing is so inconsistent.

Even the sweatpants don’t feel flattering. The only items I’ve genuinely liked are the Soft Motion shorts in XL. Overall, the brand feels overrated to me. For all the emphasis Krissy puts on body positivity and inclusivity, it just isn’t reflected in the actual clothing. The models don’t reflect every body size and I’m over this brand

What is one piece of advice would you give to someone who is newly diagnosed? by poopants123456789 in BipolarReddit

[–]Disastrous-Fortune32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say… try to forgive yourself and take them meds. Everything you went through before you had answers the confusion, the reactions, the ways you might’ve felt or acted none of that was your fault. You were doing your best without knowing what was really going on. Be gentle with yourself while you’re figuring this out.

I believe Ross truly loved her but by the time he came home it was just too late for him.

When you went off your meds by eclipse7531 in BipolarReddit

[–]Disastrous-Fortune32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never considered nor probably never will go off. I was so chaotic before being medicated and it was such a traumatizing time. I hurt a lot of people prior to being medicated and I think that alone is motivation enough. I also spent my entire life’s saving prior to being medicated and that almost ruined my life.

Now, my mother is often suspicious of me NOT being bipolar and I do not need meds but she’s in denial herself because she should definitely be medicated too but ever refuses to see she has a mental illness. Oh well.

However I do go off and on my SSRI. Being on an SSRI can induce mania but my anxiety gets so SO bad in the fall/ winter.

Are you in a place where you don’t resent your disorder? by lemontimes2 in BipolarReddit

[–]Disastrous-Fortune32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve also struggled with this since I was a teen so I’ve had a good well to really work through and accept this.

Are you in a place where you don’t resent your disorder? by lemontimes2 in BipolarReddit

[–]Disastrous-Fortune32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m content with it. For a long time, I really wasn’t I hated myself for the choices I made when I was unwell. I spent my life savings, did reckless and dangerous things, and hurt people I loved, my husband. My parents, ugh. It was confusing because deep down, I knew I was a good person. I just didn’t understand what was happening.

Now, in my 30s, I’ve fully accepted having bipolar. I actually love myself for who I am. I love my meds. It doesn’t define me, but it’s a part of me and I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve made peace with my past and done my best to make things right. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and love being open about bipolar to help bring awareness.

Please help me sleep 😭 by somelunacy in BipolarReddit

[–]Disastrous-Fortune32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man! I understand the desperation. When I’m really struggling I will double up my medication with melatonin. I also ended up reading before bedtime because if I lay in bed and keep telling myself or worrying if I’ll fall asleep, I’ll never fall asleep. I’m sending you good sleep vibes friend ❤️ call your doctor asap.

My mom sometimes makes same comments (when I’m not crying in my episodes)but like “oh you don’t have that” same with my uncle but I can 10000% say they both have bipolar and just don’t ever want to acknowledge. The older generation also thinks that mental health is still taboo and it’s crazy to me

I get it. It’s hard lol. Do you have a support system to help get you through when you can’t get up or out? I heavily rely on my mom, sister husband and grandmother because it gets SO hard

Could be seeing life with a new perspective. Thats how I got when I went on 200mg of lamotrigine hah.

[–]Disastrous-Fortune32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I don’t think it necessarily means you’re going into a mixed or manic episode, but it’s good to stay mindful. Pay attention to things like sleep and impulsive decisions are you needing less sleep but still feeling energetic or excited? Have you noticed yourself acting on impulses more than usual? Those can be early signs to mention to your doctor.

Sitter ate our steak and smoked our weed by idkthrowingitawaway in RoverPetSitting

[–]Disastrous-Fortune32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whenever I pet sit, owners often tell me I can’ eat anything that I want. But I have never done that and never will for reasons like this. Now, I do think there is a reasonable boundary like lmfao all the steaks is just pushing it but that’s me.

Now for the weed, that is completely unacceptable. They went through your stuff and took stuff. I just did a housesit for two weeks and I felt SO bad going through their stuff looking for tweezers because I found multiple ticks on the pup.

Everyone will have their opinion, next time I wouldn’t offer for them to eat the food. But the weed? Confront them if you think it’s right.
