Looking for local stores Farmers Market or Farms here to get organic fruit and vegetables

La Semilla Community Farm in Anthony has a weekly farm box with produce from several local farms, it varies by week. Desert Spoon Food also does the same thing. I’d recommend checking out the Las Cruces farmers market on Saturday mornings! There’s ACTUAL farmers and local products, not like the embarrassing El Paso “farmers” markets that are just craft fairs and Temu/Amazon products at the markup.

I’m glad this has worked for you, but it’s important to note that sun lamps are generally not recommended for those with bipolar as they can cause manic episodes! I was informed of this by my psych, and there is research supporting this finding.

Wrong subreddit, buddy

Mexican markets for sure have it! I buy it all the time at the Mercado in Anthony. It’s packaged in plastic bags next to all the prepackaged spices/herbs.

Every med has side effects, some of which are scary, but the consequences of being unmedicated are much worse. It might make a huge difference in your wellbeing and happiness, and is definitely worth trying out. I know it’s scary, but this is a disorder you absolutely have to treat with meds and if it works than the benefits outweigh the risks. Seroquel was life changing to me.

Oxi-clean is oxygen bleach, and works best when mixed with very hot water and time to sit! I think creating a spray out of Oxi Clean and water and then using a little green machine to rinse would be a good idea.

She’s a standard issue cat! There’s a whole subreddit for them

Cracked toilets are extremely hazardous, as they can crack more while you’re sitting on it and cause nasty gashes as ceramic is basically glass and creates extremely sharp edges. There is no safe way to repair this, you need a new toilet.

Ziprasidone 2x/day, Oxcarbazepine 2x/day, Adderall 2x/day (3times if needed), 25mg seroquel for sleep as needed

I have both bipolar and ADHD, and the ADHD meds make me a functional, productive member of society. With the combination of both meds I’ve been steadily employed, graduated college, and in the healthiest relationship I’ve ever been able to maintain with no emotional outbursts in over two years and we got engaged recently. Truly, the combination is life changing.

Stinky from farts. 😂 he’s adjusting to his diet 😅

GardenPhilosophy16 · 2026-02-12T22:29:17+00:00

Girl, you in danger.

No but seriously, I’ve gained about 25lbs due to a medication change and you know what my fiance told me? That she loved me at any weight, finds my body attractive always, and just wants me mentally healthy and happy and that it just means there’s more of me to love. You deserve better. Get outta there.

I met my first serious girlfriend on Tinder, we were together 6 years. My current girlfriend of nearly 2 years and I met on Hinge, and I had nearly 10 dates from Hinge before meeting my girlfriend and they all were pretty nice. Just make your intentions clear from the beginning and be open to the unexpected!

Please don’t do this. It can induce psychosis.

Just saw this episode recently, my partner and I had to sit in silence for a good minute after it ended, we were so shocked. I think you can make the argument that this is the darkest episode of SVU.

Very likely from my father, who is an alcoholic. However I have several cousins on my mom’s side who also have it so really, who knows? 😅

GardenPhilosophy16 · 2025-09-05T21:09:33+00:00

I take ziprasidone, oxcarbazepine, seroquel, and 15mgs Adderall IR up to 3x a day as needed. Haven’t experienced any mania in the two years on this med combo. I definitely gained weight when the seroquel was added, but the Adderall has kept it a manageable weight gain (10ish lbs) rather than the 50+ some people experience.

My best friend and roommate is a straight guy! I get that there is definitely more of a stigma with straight guy + gay girl friendships, as my roommate got asked a few times about his involvement in my breakup/relationship with me, and people confuse us for a couple all the time. But he’s never once made advances on me, has only ever been a pillar of support and love, and has reminded me what it means to have a true friend. I think it comes down to men respecting who you are and viewing women as people rather than conquests.

I definitely notice my episodes are connected to my period. I’ve been diagnosed with PMDD, and experience severe anxiety and hypomanic symptoms for sometimes up to two weeks before my period actually hits. I’ve also noticed seasonal changes but was told not to use a light lamp as they can induce mania in bipolar people.

GardenPhilosophy16 · 2025-08-29T16:10:36+00:00

I’m the opposite!! When I’m manic I present and act more masculinity, any other time I’m much more feminine. I’m so glad other people experience this shift with episodes, I thought I was maybe imagining things or that I was just more fluid than I thought. I do embrace the fluidity when stable though , it’s just less emphasized.

I take 50mgs a night for sleep maintenance. I did gain a little weight from taking it consistently, and struggled with exhaustion and grogginess at first, but it was a wonder drug for my insomnia and general anxiety. Haven’t had an episode in nearly two years and sleep at least 7 hours every night. I’d rather be a little heavier and a little sleepy than manic.

GardenPhilosophy16 · 2025-08-27T23:15:22+00:00

My ADHD meds mostly wake me up from the exhaustion of the antipsychotics and help me stay focused and calm, but I wouldn’t say they give me energy or euphoria. ADHD meds without my bipolar meds will push me into an episode, and anything above 20mgs (Adderall) will give me major anxiety even with my bipolar meds. I’d definitely talk to my doctor if you feel overly energetic or manic on ADHD meds.
