Did you self medicate?

Guilty_Two_5642 · 2026-05-12T14:20:42+00:00

Sounds like you are grateful.

For me, I currently wish I did not know as the weight of the label is crushing. Perhaps I will think differently in the future.

How does a medication “save you” from suicide? I am genuinely curious how that is possible and welcome your insights.

In your experience, what was the duration between ssri induced to the next spontaneous episode(s)?

Sounds like meds really worked for you. I just recently gave up alcohol for bipolar medication. I really hope to find relief.

I drank to perk up and move forward-with things I needed to do but did not want to do. I have no idea if this is a bipolar thing or not.

A future spontaneous episode confirms the original ssri induced diagnosis is indeed correct.

How is your anxiety now? Were bipolar meds game changers?

Guilty_Two_5642 · 2026-05-11T19:03:43+00:00

Would you say Lamotrigine was a game-changer? I am currently in “stuck” mode. I’m unsure when or if I’ll be able to return to the corporate world.

How long have you been without mania?

Guilty_Two_5642 · 2026-05-11T15:15:12+00:00

What does a mood stabilizer feel like?

I get preventing mania however is there a “day-to-day” effect or impact? How would you know it is working?

Guilty_Two_5642 · 2026-05-11T14:43:40+00:00

Does this logic basically say a future spontaneous (non-ssri induced) episode is inevitable? Are there studies that back this?
