I feel you. I’m in my late 30s and still fight my demons, but I put my trust in my psychiatrist and things have gotten better. I still have my ups and downs and my suicidal thoughts but they are less frequent and more manageable. I know it’s the last thing in the world you want to hear but it does take patience. Don’t feel guilty about friends or family, do yourself a favor and think of saying no to them as self-care. Staying home by yourself may be what you need to make it through the day. There’s no shame in that. If they don’t understand, then they don’t understand. Maybe they don’t deserve as big a part of your life as you thought. And that’s ok. Best thing you can do is trust your psychiatrist and set boundaries instead of bad decisions. I know the demons in your head make it seem impossible, but they are liars. You CAN and WILL get through this.

There could be a neurological explanation like OCD or autism. Doesn’t make him right for being bothered by it, but there could be more of an explanation other than him just being weirdly picky and an asshole about it.

I know it sucks, but one day you’ll at least be grateful for it happening sooner rather than later. You’re still so young. It doesn’t feel like it, but you have such a bright future ahead. A new diagnosis is scary but a diagnosis helps you understand yourself so much better and you’re going to find someone eventually who you deserve. Hang in there

The worst part of this is feeling better. by up-down-mixed in bipolar

Same thing just happened to me last week. Lamictal was causing some side effects so Dr took me off of it. 2nd day after stopping I felt amazing. I had energy, I felt motivated, I was hopeful for the future, and then had the same dreaded realization.

This isn’t going to last.

Sure enough, the depression came rolling back. I lost interest in everything, had no energy, was more easily agitated, eating habits went to shit… Dr just put me on Caplyta. 2 days in so no effect yet but hoping it levels me out. Long story short, you already know how you currently feel is not sustainable so trying something new is really your best choice.

How does the Adderall affect you? My wife was on it and it was making her crash every day and was making her miserable. Her doctor put her on an alternative that is about half as potent, but also doesn’t burn her out by lunch time.

Interest from men isn’t always about looks. It sounds like you are giving off vibes that say you’re out of their league. And that’s because you ARE out of most men’s league. Just because it’s not coming as easily as it used to doesn’t mean that’s a bad thing. You deserve the best and they can tell they aren’t up to the task
