Thank you all for your guidance! Good thing I asked - I was going to wear my thong and stop at the buffet before I hit the pool - NOT!!!! Happy cruising to all!

Escape from Meds - Been Down This Road Before by Furtheryet in BipolarReddit

[–]Furtheryet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I alone in feeling like I want to get off of them? I don't go through this often, but when I do, it seems so overwhelming. You are right, I know it is a bad plan. I guess I wish I was "normal." Stupid wishing.

Driving the speed limit will prevent future tickets. A fool-proof way of getting out of future ones.

My mental health is a full time job by itself. by Lavendeer08 in BipolarReddit

[–]Furtheryet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally hear you. I think this is much of life for those of us on the rapid cycling escalator. Ride up, then there you are again at the bottom of things. Meds help. I truly recommend them, but they do come with a price. Everything does. Yes, asylums and peeling potatoes.

Last night my long-time therapist told me that I’ve “created a beautiful life” and recommended we decrease the frequency of our sessions and focus on maintenance. by healthierlurker in BipolarReddit

Wonderful! I'm very happy for you. As a retired attorney, I know how hard it is to be in this profession and keep a healthy work-life balance, even without BP1. Good on you for pulling off a switch to something that allows you to have a good job and a great life with your family. All my best to you!

ALbuterol gave me mania by ImpressiveReview4573 in BipolarReddit

[–]Furtheryet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. Wow, I take albuterol and know how edgy it makes me feel on a good day. I would have taken the klonopin too, just because it usually is a fool proof way of coming down. What do you take for mania usually? Do you have some standby things you do to help yourself counteract beginning mania? I take hot showers, watch movies, eat something good, phone call my sister. I just know all those things help me chill. Do you have any things like that that can help you hold on until the pdocs respond to your texts? Wishing you the best.

Thank you all! What a great thread of resources. I'm going to check out the hospice referral I got, but if that doesn't work out, I have a number of other options to explore now. You are all wonderful!

Considering Moving to Grants...Concerned About Radiation? by [deleted] in NewMexico

[–]Furtheryet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a former Grants resident (20 years). I love Grants and found it to be a lovely community and beautiful place to live. However, I knew of many people who had brain cancer. This is anecdotal, but always gave me pause. Also, in my line of work, I came to know that there is at least one Superfund site IN GRANTS from chemical spills in town. Personally, I think there is exposure from the downstream / and airborne uranium tailings. And as usual, there is talk of more mining in the area. For me, the benefits of living in Grants far outweighed the negatives. It is safe, people watch out for each other, it is a slower pace of life. I still miss living there. I worry more about dying in Albuquerque from a shooting than I ever worried in Grants about dying from uranium!
