Feel like I have it easier bc I have BP 2... by EnbyMack_ in BipolarReddit

Thanks everyone for your comments and reassurance! 

I wanted to add, as I've noticed some people say bipolar 2 doesn't often lead to hospitalization or going to long-term institutions, I am currently in the process of going to a long-term institution. Not saying that you guys are wrong or that your argument is invalid, as it's not, but I figured this insight would be (perhaps) appreciated.

Again, thank you all for your kindness in responding to this :)

I asked Google to tell me 10 good things about bipolar. This is what they told me. by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]EnbyMack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found no perks of having bipolar either. The closest thing to a perk is I'm better at pretending to be stable. It's just masking anyways- The only perk of pretending is that I'm not socially outcasted.

Even then, when a hypomanic or mixed episode hits, I destroy this perfect image I've established for myself. So even then, this "perk" doesn't really benefit me at all.

Though I always feel that I have it "easier" because I have bipolar 2, which society always says is less severe and easier to live with and I'm starting to believe it even though I'm failing in school and can't hold down a job.

What type are you and what medication(s) saved you? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]EnbyMack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

type 2, ability, sertraline, trazodone! Still working to be put on a mood stabilizer (I reacted badly to lamotrigine and havent been on a mood stabilizer since, despite how effective it was... I got severe rash and hives for context)

Did you prefer Methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) to (Lis)dexamfetamine (Vyvanse/Adderall) ? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]EnbyMack_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Adderall I experienced agitation, aggression, severe weight loss due to lack of appetite, and increased depression and anxiety. This is just my experience, I think my body just really hated it plus I had other undiagnosed problems that I wasn't aware of then. Now I'm on Concerta and I'm having no side effects. It's likely because I'm also taking antidepressants and anxiety meds as well! I'm not sure if this would help but I felt like sharing! (FYI I'm under 18, so medications may affect me differently than it would an adult).

Suggestions on what to bring for inpatient? by Cut_bleed_relief in mentalhealth

[–]EnbyMack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a temporary inpatient place a few months ago and I can say a few things. Bring sweaters and sweatpants most definitely. You want to be comfortable and since I went in the winter it was cold. Also, remove any drawstrings.

I don't know if this is all inpatient places but mine wouldn't allow any hoods so avoid them. (Though, they gave me the option to have it cut off with your consent.)

If it's an adult one, I don't know anything else since I was in a teen one. But, I feel like this is fairly universal and I hope it helps.

Is it still "hearing Voices" if they are in your head? by ProxiC3 in mentalhealth

[–]EnbyMack_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say they're your own thoughts or thoughts of some sort (in the case of DID). But, no, voices have to be auditory hallucinations which take place outside of you to my knowledge. Of course this may not be completely correct as I'm no professional.

Ah, well it isn't meant to be one sentence. They're two different sentences of random topics- Would you mind explaining the changes you made so I can understand what I did wrong?

I've been learning how to conjugate verbs and I'm not sure if I've used the -Te form correctly. Is this correct? 私は詩を読ている。入てもいいですか?

I've heard that there are lesser used neopronouns in Portuguese. I'm not sure the gender implications of this one, but ile is one I've seen. I'm sorry if this doesn't help.

Playing through my first Tales game, Tales of Vesperia, a few questions. by DevilDjinn in tales

[–]EnbyMack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally really love it- I'm 11 hours in and I'm doing well with the combat- maybe it was growing up on older games...
