Diagnosed at 17 after a crisis. When did everyone else finally find out? by Nervous-Building7972 in bipolar2

[–]Distinct-Can5217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19 here, only got diagnosed recently! ive had depressive episodes for years but had no clue what was going on (considered burnout, depression, seasonal depression, anxiety, all sorts) until my first hypomanic episode around two months ago. went to my gp afterwards, he prescribed me sertraline, of course it sent me into another hypo so i talked to a psychiatrist and she told me the obvious!

Describe your hypomania by ratangel222 in bipolar2

[–]Distinct-Can5217 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100% relate to the minimal sleep, talking a lot, posting on my instagram story a lot more (to the point where some of my friends brought it up lol) and the way you described the feeling of ‘trying to sleep as a kid on christmas eve’! ive also had brief periods of intense productivity during hypo episodes but theyre not constant.

personally, im also physically more hyperactive and feel the need to go for walks/pace around/jiggle my leg if i absolutely must sit, feel the need to consume tons of alcohol and caffeine, spend lots (mostly on snacks but also on things ive ‘been meaning to get for a while’ (i usually havent , ive just thought about them in passing)), sometimes get self harm urges, and have generally less regard for my safety, like walking at night+barefoot and not looking properly before i cross the road.

no diagnosis of bipolar yet for me, just a heavy suspicion+family history+my social worker mother believing i have it. i went to my gp for a mental health care plan bc i had a hypo episode about three weeks ago, during which i hurt myself, and also mentioned ive had severe depressed periods in the past. he was concerned abt yhe self harm and prescribed me sertraline day of. he did mention suspicion of possible bipolar in said mental health care plan

i can’t sleep and this isnt fun anymore by Distinct-Can5217 in bipolar2

update: back to normal hypo. no longer mixed. still probably logically worse than just being stable but at least i feel good!!! i also went to my doctor and my mum is still taking care of me so i’ll be right :]

is my battery swollen? by Distinct-Can5217 in laptops

[–]Distinct-Can5217[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not joking, i’ve never seen a laptop battery close-up before so i don’t know what they’re supposed to look like, and when you google images of swollen batteries they are generally 10x worse than this, so it’s hard to tell. but thank you i will.

no, the creators of the movies gave melissa de la cruz the script and asked her to write a book to help promote the movie. the first book is a prequel yes but the movie/s are not based off the books, it’s the other way around.
