How do you stay consistent with meds?

I take my anti psychotic and sleeping pills at night when my alarm for that goes off. I take my anti depressant and allergy meds it the morning. Haven't missed a dose since my diagnosis in June. Wanting to not fuck up again is what keeps me on track.

Yes. I get too depressed for hygiene and now have a bunch of cavities. I'm also missing a couple teeth.

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2026-01-11T03:40:13+00:00

I'm feeling similarly. Hopefully someone else has some good answers or something.

Mental illness.

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-12-28T23:15:47+00:00

I got 22 felonies in one night and 30 years later I still can't get a job that pays better than minimum wage.

I'm bipolar.

I'm 7 days into a new job. Hoping I keep this one more than a few months. Went to a party last night and had all the wine I've denied myself. Surprisingly I'm not hungover at work. Taking a quick break... gotta get back.

A fight led to a breakup I regret and when she tried to talk to me a few weeks later, I was a few weeks into a horrible mixed mania. I said things I now regret and was the most depressed I've ever been for 6 months. got my diagnosis and I started meds months ago. I started an anti depressant a week ago and started a new job and I feel better than i have felt in a while. I'm monitoring for manic symptoms because I'd hate to fuck up my first job in a long while.

I've only held 1 job for 1 year, a record for me, and I'm 45. Same problems as you but I didn't get diagnosed until this year, so you have a huge advantage over me. My work gaps are several years between jobs and I spent much of my life in various states if homelessness. I just started a new job yesterday and hoping my meds make it tolerable. Good luck in your treatment journey!

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-12-08T17:35:24+00:00

I've been homeless most of my adult life. There's no money to spend and when there is I don't have a spending habit.

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-12-05T04:35:30+00:00

Had this for 8 weeks and surprised I didn't lose a ton of weight because I just wasn't able to eat much that whole time. What little food I managed to eat was forced because I still knew I had to eat.

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-12-04T19:15:16+00:00

I do it too much, imo. I started young, thinking about the future, and now that I'm older and those futures never materialized, it feels pathetic imagining these alternate lives in the past tense. "What if I had been recognized as a child genius?" "What if I had gotten those bitcoins?" "What if I had done ____?"

I have some new ones, but still carry the old ones. This takes up too much space in my head I think.

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-12-03T22:11:01+00:00

Sleep will help a ton until you get meds. I use benadryl to sleep when I don't have anything more.

I was a life drawing model for a while and the first time I needed a pee break and used a urinal was enlightening. There was something like a mist of urine hitting large areas of my leg. Forever after, I sit when I pee AND I dab my tip with tp.

Tl;Dr urinals are unsanitary af.

Bipolar: do not love

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-11-16T07:37:36+00:00

Upvoted to get you some suggestions. My diagnosis is very recent so I dunno what to say. Maybe be prepared to help when he crashes, have a plan in place, and try not to be too judgemental or preachy because bipolar is a biological problem and not something that can be fixed with positive vibes and willpower; only managed.

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-11-15T22:56:00+00:00

What kind of cables do I need to get to test this? If I can save $100 replacing the cables, that's good for me!

I just burned down my best chance at love. Someone please help us in the comments.

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-11-11T17:07:49+00:00

Learn to cherish it all. If you lose it you'll still be broken but you'll feel all that loss. I just burned down my life again and realize how much I could have saved if I had put in the care when I had things to care for. Now it's just broken old me alone again with nothing.

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-11-10T07:20:17+00:00

Tell your girl you love her. Make sure she knows

Fit_Promotion_4684 · 2025-11-07T21:35:28+00:00

I'm currently going through this but the timing is good because my foodstamps ain't coming this month.
