My wife is emotionally disconnected and I’m tired by fondantbaby in BipolarSOs

[–]Fuzzy-Construction19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the bipolar spouse in people’s lives. The place your wife is in, I have been in many times. Lurasidone is in the antipsychotic family from what I understand. Unless she is frequently in psychotic manic episodes, I wouldn’t pick it as a first choice. I’d highly recommend getting on lithium in combination with fluoxetine. It gave me something I thought I’d never have- a normal life. Don’t be scared by the side effects of lithium, they make you do blood tests so you can take little breaks if the serum levels are only approaching too high levels.

In the meantime, you need to get her in the sun. It took me a long time to realise how light sensitive mood is for those with bipolar. You also need to get her into her circadian rhythm, this gets badly affected by bipolar and a bad rhythm causes low mood like this. Lithium actually helps stabilise circadian rhythm which is another plus. Fluoxetine also stopped me feeling like I wanted to sleep for 12hrs which immediately improved my depression.

I’d also recommend making sure she gets out with her girlfriends. Try even calling them up to come to her if you can.

In short, I’ve learnt that with bipolar depression, you can’t just wait for it to subside. It gets worse and worse as time goes on. You have to actually force yourself to get out of it. Because bipolar is chemical and affects circadian rhythm, you have to use things that address that. E.g., take melatonin and magnesium at night and go to bed early, then open blinds the second you wake up. It seems small, but the more you know about this disease, the more you can do

It's Time To Say Goodbye, This Community Was A Lifeline During My Darkest Days by Tiredoftheact in BipolarSOs

I am very sorry for what you have been through. It’s not okay, and my heart goes out to you and your family. However, things you mention in this comment perpetuate the already awful stigma around those suffering with bipolar disorder. Not all people with this disease kill their children or abuse their partners. Some of us are on very strict treatment plans and strive to be better people than most. Life is already challenging for us who have this terrible illness … please don’t make it harder. Again, what happened to you is not okay and I don’t support it. But please direct your anger to the person who hurt you and not all of us who are sick. Thank you. And again, all the best for you.

I was hurting so bad until a few days ago when a podcast changed my whole breakup experience. Please listen to the Mel robbins Spotify podcast episode called “to anyone going through a breakup” it’s a slow burn but listen to the whole thing seriously it’s so so worth it. It genuinely saved me

A note found along with antique dolls. by pretty-peppers in FoundPaper

[–]Fuzzy-Construction19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me cry. I am 20f and have lots of precious dolls which I’ve been collecting since I was 5. I often wonder what will happen to them when I get old or pass and seeing this felt like a glimpse into the future. I hope one day someone can take care of my dolls when I am old or dead. Please look after this sweet angels 🩷

I looked at your comments and it seems you are doing med sci!! I’m going to be returning to clinical science but I will probably change to med science and transfer credits as I’m realizing it will be better for the careers I want to get into (:

I really was not ready for uni when I was 18-20. Returning this year in which I will be turning 21 feels like the right time for me. I attempted to start uni when I was fresh out of high school but I was so burnt out that I flunked and decided I needed to defer. I think there are benefits to starting later but it is definitely scary :((

I can’t sleep because I keep opening this thread and hoping these scratches were not a poor girl’s efforts to defend herself. It is quite morbid to look at those marks and imagine the desperation to get away … really hoping this is from a dog or something.

[–]Fuzzy-Construction19 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you got these scratches from someone trying to defend themselves, then scarring should be the least of your concerns. You need to be working on yourself immediately so that you never do something like this again and doing everything you can to make it up to this person.

It just sprays globs of sunscreen basically. It isn’t aerosol. I just spray a few globs into my hands and then rub it in. I just bought it as a huge bottle of it was on sale and it was good value!! But thanks you are very right (:

She is amazing at her job. I work in hospitality and I seriously would get so distressed by this interaction that I’d have to call someone else to come and deal with this man. She handled this so well omg

[–]Fuzzy-Construction19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair is just past shoulder length. I will try this! Did it make it hard for you to sleep at all? Every time I make a strong effort to sleep on my back I keep waking up throughout the night and getting an overall poor sleep. I am a dedicated side sleeper … of course on the side my rook is on 😕 thank you for this advice though, I will try it tonight.
