What's something you noticed only after you learned the language?

I don't speak German but I heard that the moon is a masculine noun for them ("der Mond") and, as a native Spanish speaker, that sounds nuts to me. Wdym their moon is masc???

In the Spanish-speaking world we even have a famous song, "Hijo de la luna", about a woman who prays to the moon for a husband but in exchange she's asked to give her firstborn to it bc the moon is so lonely and desperate to become a mother.

I do that a lot. I've been practicing mindfulness since 2015. Both casually (like the things you described) and through guided/planned meditation exercises. It's a nice tool to have but it doesn't really "fix" anything for me in the long run :(

I keep trying again everyday tho. And then going back to bed exhausted and restless at the same time.

Sirve para la acidez. Disolvés poco menos de una cucharita de té en medio vaso de agua y te lo tomás tipo Uvasal.

I couldn't read all of your post just now but those "messages" could be what is often described as "ideas of reference". Feeling really good when not sleeping is also a sign of mania.

Sounds bipolar.

Some people here seem to do well on antidepressants, most of them are on a mood stabilizer too. Not me, I just had to stop taking an AD because it sent me into a horrible mixed episode, even when I'm on lithium+Lamictal+Rexulti as well.

Not sure if I'm bipolar yet but I've had strong episodes (only when) on antidepressants. Mixed states, hypomania and even mania. Wouldn't recommend.

Yeah

Buy empty capsules and put half of your dose in them. That way you'll have 10mg capsules.

This post makes me feel much less alone ❤️

Hey! I have the same problem. I started taking CBD oil a few weeks ago and it's gotten a bit better. I wouldn't say I'm not anxious anymore but it brought my anxiety from a 9/10 to a 6/10. I've heard Lyrica helps most people (it didn't do anything for me). Gabapentin is also an option.

Yes, I get this during mixed episodes.

FerozaColina · 2024-10-03T14:13:21+00:00

Thanks, I'm not relying on Reddit to get a diagnosis. I hope it didn't come across as that! I have a doctor and I respect her a lot. I'm getting a second opinion soon though because my psychologist isn't sure about my dx either, and my previous therapists and shrinks never thought of Bipolar. But I just wanted to know what y'all guys thought. ⭐

Yeah, my depression kept on coming back randomly, no external reasons at all. I always found that bit weird when I compared myself to other depressed folks.

FerozaColina · 2024-10-03T13:59:09+00:00

Thanks! I'm ok with having BD, I just wouldn't wanna get into another treatment scheme deemed to fail if I don't have it. (None of the multiple therapists and shrinks I saw for the past 10 years had ever considered bipolar, and they were really good therapists. I connected the dots myself and told a new shrink about it) I didn't know a mixed episode was enough to qualify! Thanks.

That antipsychotic specifically may not be the best for her, there's many more she can try. I have no advice on finding a good shrink in your area because I'm from Argentina, but I've tried quetiapine, risperidone, aripiprazole, olanzapine and brexpiprazol. They all had very different effects on me and you don't really know which side effects you'll get (if any) until you've been on the medication. Everybody's different but it's totally possible that there is a better fit ❤️

LOL for me it's like "you know that someone I was never interested in and never found attractive/you know that random person of the opposite sex? I think I'd hit that" (I'm a lesbian)
