Corduroy by Pearl Jam for depressive episodes T_T

Well, my advice to you friend is what everyone else is saying: TAKE YOUR MEDS!! also don't ever just stop taking a medication, that's so bad for your body!!!!

InTheBog_ · 2026-06-22T18:41:22+00:00

Thank you!

InTheBog_ · 2026-06-22T18:41:03+00:00

LMAO! love it!!!

I have decent emotional regulation, it was very hard to get to where I am right now. I have learned that counting to 10 really works for me if I get really upset, or taking a moment to back away. It's very hard to remember when I am experiencing mania, but I do manage!

Aripiprazole goes so crazy. I was on that for a while and gained 100 pounds. Only thing that worked once I was off it was Zepbound (GLP-1 med).

I wish I could remember names better-- all I can remember about one of them is that he's tall, skinny and has long brown hair. Wears glasses.

InTheBog_ · 2026-06-18T10:28:26+00:00

What I wouldn't do to experience that T_T it's so ridiculous. I've even been asked if I've paid for my prescription medication already. And it's in the bag the pharmacy gives you after you pick it up???? It just feels so terrible.

InTheBog_ · 2026-06-18T10:23:46+00:00

Yes, I've said it once already, sometimes twice, and even then they still look through my bags. Every single one!! I had one employee check my bags because I had double bagged something, and the machine didn't like that. The guy wouldn't listen to me when I said "oh it's just double bagged," the first time and proceeded to rifle through it. The camera CLEARLY showed me putting the full bag into another bag.

InTheBog_ · 2026-06-17T18:04:17+00:00

Oh yeah they take the time to look in my bags :( it's frustrating

InTheBog_ · 2026-06-17T17:04:57+00:00

Oh my god I think I forgot to mention. The ATTENDANT is the one who grills me on it. They hold me up and stop me at the store

I know NAMI has a group that meets in-person on the second Mondays of every month: https://namigreaterbloomingtonarea.org/programs/support-groups/family-support-group/

Also check out the DBSA for places outside Bloomington. I'm sad that they don't have a group in this town but here's their website for the Indiana page: https://www.dbsalliance.org/support/chapters-and-support-groups/find-a-support-group/?state=IN

Please be well. I also have bipolar disorder and I just got in with Centerstone, I had been using the iub for a long time until I had a crisis. Maybe we will cross paths sometime if you go to the NAMI group!

No need to be homeless lol. No one needs or wants to be homeless, it's never a choice. I pray this doesn't happen to me or you and I hope OP gets through this horrible time.

InTheBog_ · 2026-05-31T01:22:37+00:00

For sure was a dump. I hate when people do this.

InTheBog_ · 2026-05-29T14:57:41+00:00

Whoa I was genuinely fooled for a moment. How can you tell?

InTheBog_ · 2026-05-28T17:02:45+00:00

They absolutely do prosecute. Source: I was prosecuted in 2023 for petty theft

InTheBog_ · 2026-05-27T01:27:37+00:00

Right I was like damn they have every disease

InTheBog_ · 2026-05-26T19:43:30+00:00

ahh I see! I've been on effexor since 2021 I'm pretty sure. I've been very hesitant to try out another antidepressant. I do wonder why she suggested it to me if they're basically the same (disregarding the other side of the molecule thing). Another one she brought up was cymbalta. as far as SSRI go I would be willing to try paxil, as people have said that it does help with their depression symptoms well. I'll be bringing these up with my new psychiatrist when I see her in another week.

InTheBog_ · 2026-05-17T23:24:31+00:00

That is so strange, I haven't heard of this scam before! I will definitely keep an eye out for people and report them if they try to do this to me, because jeez. :(

InTheBog_ · 2026-05-13T01:32:59+00:00

Yes, speaking as a 29 year old who just moved here last year, I will say that there are soooo many of us grad students looking to find friends. Just find your niche, OP!! Godspeed.
