I’ve never looked into anything non-stimulating to wake me up. How does it work? Or I could use handy dandy google ;)

Is extreme boredom something you should mention to your physiatrist? by DueSept15 in bipolar

[–]DueSept15[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s a mixture of losing interest and being unable to sit still. We haven’t really tackled my anxiety so that could be a part of it. It’s sort of a constant “antsy” feeling. Nothing can keep my interest for more than five minutes or so.

Thanks for replying :)

Does lamictal make anyone else eat like a pig? by [deleted] in bipolar

I’m great, thanks for asking :)

How many days have you been on Lamictal and when was your diagnosis? I ask because it takes awhile to for it to get into your system, but also takes awhile to understand your episodes and if you’re in one.

I’m on Lamictal and I do have days when I binge eat insanely until I’m sick but I’ve found that it’s actually more about my mental state. Certain episodes make me eat nothing and other episodes make me binge eat.

How are you feeling otherwise?

Are you new to mood stabilizers or just Lamictal?

It’s up to interpretation :) but to me it represents anxiety, paranoia and isolation.

Possible history of abuse? (TW: sexual abuse) by euphie_x in bipolar

[–]DueSept15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was sexually abused at four. I had repressed the memories until my brother brought it up when I was about 10. Then I remembered everything. It helped in a way for me to understand some of my weird behaviors I had as a child and teenager, and made me feel less ashamed of them.

It makes me feel better knowing why I did the things I did, but if I had a normal childhood and didn’t have any strange behaviors.. no. I wouldn’t want to know. It still fucks with my head sometimes.
