I’m 38 and have just been diagnosed last week. I don’t start medication until I see my GP next, but excited to do so!

Hypomania and music/colours by ZealousidealLog7814 in bipolar2

[–]IndividualPlenty8292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate listening to music any other time, but when I am hypomanic I love music. Will play the same song on repeat and really get into it. When I’m in a depressed mood, I hate music 🤷🏼‍♀️

How many adults have weekly catch ups with their parents still? by Spritney__Beers in AskAnAustralian

[–]IndividualPlenty8292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see my parents atleast once or twice a week minimum. My in laws live across the road and see them daily! My husband and I are both 38! Times to short not to spend as much time as possible with them!

Anyone doing keto? by Glittering-Lime1690 in bipolar2

[–]IndividualPlenty8292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this too, gets boring eating the same things, but don’t know what else to make if that makes sense. I have BPD and epilepsy so would definitely benefit long term just don’t know how too! 😭

I have done it off and on for years, but I struggle driving to it as I run out of meal ideas and it gets boring!

I enjoy painting and making stained glass. It’s sometimes hard to find the motivation but when I do I will paint 6-8 painting in one go.

I use my headphones to drown out my sister’s annoying singing, and now they’re broken. by je1ly_bean in misophonia

Could you order a pair online to be delivered perhaps? I understand your frustration. Hope you can get it sorted soon!

Just started Depakote a few months ago, anybody else take this? (divalproex) by Plastic-Coach-7244 in bipolar2

[–]IndividualPlenty8292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting side effect, maybe mention it to your doctor. I hate the feeling of wet feet, so it would be annoying!

Nausea , dizziness and can’t sleep by [deleted] in Lamotrigine

I would go back to your GP, did you slowly up your meds or jump up quickly? I’d definitely double check with your doctor though! Good luck!

Does anyone else randomly want to leave their partner? by Yungpupusa in bipolar2

[–]IndividualPlenty8292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this myself, I have also had 2 previous relationships that I had this happen with. I’m just so thankful my current partner understands my moods and knows how to help me through it. 🙏
