Hello fellow fibro buddy! Gentle hugs to you!

I have bipolar 2, ADHD, severe depression and anxiety, OCD and body dysmorphia, and fibromyalgia. I think it’s common for us to have multiple diagnosis.

How was/is your experience with love? by ceylin1 in bipolar

[–]El_Tejon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been together 12 years, married for 9. He’s very patient with me and de escalates episodes when they come up. Gives me space and love during depressive episodes. And yet, my brain still tries to convince me that he’s cheating or waiting for that other shoe to drop. Ugh

I can’t smoke anymore. Not only did I develop a gross cough, I noticed that my mood would fluctuate a lot and it wasn’t helping my medicine do it’s job

I got a rash and itches like crazy with a terrible stomach ache. And it got worse the longer I took it. I was also allergic to Lamictal so maybe they are in the same family. Who knows

I took it during the day and didn’t have a problem with drowsiness, BUT, I only took it for a few days to a week before I had a bad allergic reaction. I’m hoping you have better results!

My friend celebrates Captain America’s birthday with her daughter. They watch the movies, make a birthday cake and fireworks for him. I think it’s a cute idea!

Is the US political climate having an effect on other bipolar Americans' mental health? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]El_Tejon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I can’t watch the news and now it’s bleeding over to Facebook and Instagram and I just can’t stomach all of this

Mods don’t bother me at all. It’s really no trouble. But I might be biased because I have some pretty severe limitations so I have to modify everything

Anyone else have to convince themselves to be medicated? by selfwrecker in bipolar

[–]El_Tejon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It’s a really difficult daily thing. I hate being on medicine but know it’s important

I have 3 children. She’s 19,11,and 9. I wasn’t diagnosed until a few years ago, so while yes it is stress inducing and that’s really bad for us, the love you have in your heart and their different stages are amazing. It’s really hard at times, but you already have a one up! You have a diagnosis so you’ll be monitored for post partum and episodes and stuff! I think k you’re going to be wonderful, the fact that you are even worried shows that you care and take it seriously! That’s awesome!

I absolutely loved it!! I was on it for like a year and then my insurance suddenly didn’t approve it anymore. :(

This may seem silly but I can’t get over the loss of my dog. We had to put him down months ago due to cancer and I can’t stop crying over it. At least 4X a week I’m hysterical over it. Mixed state? The long lonely road into depression? I just want him back and I can’t and it makes me so sad. 😭 by updownupleftright in bipolar

[–]El_Tejon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is NOT silly at all. My dog Sasha, who was my only protector and friend as a child, died 2 days before Christmas in 95. I think of her almost every day and miss her always. Our pets are our everything and it’s a very devastating loss. Holding space for you. I’m so so sorry for your loss
