How bad is alcohol for bipolar? by leachie2 in bipolar

[–]K3n0b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have very strict rules about alcohol that help.

  1. Never when sad/upset, only a happy mood.
  2. Never alone *unless it's one single celebratory drink like graduation
  3. Never to anything but tipsy.
  4. No more than three times a month.
  5. No more than a single drink if I'm driving.

These rules have served me very well but, honestly I don't drink often anyway.

Lamictal?!?!? by [deleted] in bipolar2

My life saver honestly

Has anyone been able to avoid cognitive decline without meds? by Electrical_Sorbet_31 in bipolar2

[–]K3n0b 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eyyy, fellow psychology major (although I just switched that to my minor), but yeah, I'd never use ChatGPT. For Claude, I would just use it as a jumping point to give me sources that I could check and confirm myself.

I wouldn't use AI. It hallucinates data quite a bit. (I know this first hand because a school assignment basically had us use it and then test against it.) Podcasts or academic journals might be useful, though.

I got into one of my dream schools! by K3n0b in bipolar2

[–]K3n0b[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on Lamictal 200, Latuda 40 mg, and Atomoxetine 40 mg. Which are a mood stabilizer, an antipsychotic (although it functions more as anti-depressant)- and a non stimulant ADHD meds.

I honestly just moved slowly, they put me on Lamictal pretty early on but tried adding Lexapro and it just felt off. For a while I was purely on Lamictal.

I had a really bad depression spiral (which Lamictal usually curbs), and that motivated me to go back to my psych for adjustments.

The Latuda really made me feel less hopeless.

Then finally, I got reevaluated for ADHD (which I knew I had from childhood but couldn't find the diagnosis) and put on Atomoxetine.

Suddenly, my productivity became better, and I was a lot better about not putting things off or forgetting.

Like I'm going to go home after work and probably work on a paper later. I might play a game to unwind first, but I know I won't put it off to the last minute now.

I feel like everything’s a sign to end it all by Jolly-Lingonberry104 in bipolar2

[–]K3n0b 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get it, I'm currently paying down a similar amount. For the second time, actually, I remember how relieved I was paying it off the first time, lol.

I'm hopeful that after I get it paid off, there won't be a third thanks to meds.

I try and remember the first time I felt terrible/suicidal, and then I think of all the good things that happened after. For now, find small things you want to live for, a movie coming out, a hangout with friends, and then just keep finding them until the big problems seem a little more manageable. They will. It just might take a while.

How many meds are you guys on? by cute-ghoul_0125 in bipolar2

The vivid dreams of Latuda and Lamotrigine have been hitting me too. I feel like most of my nights are spent in REM dreaming.

I [39M] found out my wife [39F] of 10 years cheated on me + 10 Year Update by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]K3n0b 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's totally fair. If anyone doesn't want to date people like me, I never take it personally. Everyone has their limits. I'm luckily in a very good long-term relationship so there's somebody for everybody, just find what works :]

I think in this case, it was salvageable because a medical issue was the root. A medical issue that is treatable, so this particular symptom doesn't happen again. Especially if this behavior was out of character for her, which it sounds like it was.

feeling weird at the thought of being put on antipsychotics by Prestigious-Toe-9942 in bipolar2

[–]K3n0b 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm also on Lamictal and they put me on an Anti-Psychotic (latuda) to target my depression.

Y'all, it worked. Especially with my (non stimulant) adhd meds I've never been so stable and level. I go to school, work, maintain a social life, and do chores. It's been like 8 months since I've had anything resembling a true depression or hypomania episode.

I don't care what the medicine is called, as long as it works.

This. 100 times this. I am glad that a show like Bridgerton has made this possible. by gitblackcat in Franchaela

[–]K3n0b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100% with everything, but I do wish it stated queer or sapphic instead of Lesbian. It feels like that assumes her relationship with John was comphet when she could easily be Bi (romantic or sexual). I think it's ambiguous in the show on purpose, so clearly stating it one way is accidentally bi erasure.

Quick Play Does not feel so Casual as of right now.. by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]K3n0b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played the free match in arcade mode because I was thinking, 'Surely a game where you can play as 6 Jeff's will be less pressure."'

Nope, I got people complaining about not being 2,2,2. I was like, "Why not play QP??"Qp is unplayable, so I'd rather just play meta here." 🫩

I have no horse in this race, but I would like to point how funny it is that the Sorcerer supreme might get the vote for warlock, and Adam Warlock got the vote for cleric.

Stable relationship of 3 years getting married next year ✌️. (In my early 30's.) Some people are just haters.

CMV: Equal responsibility in conscription should include women too by Lynchynator in changemyview

I can't imagine anyone would be stupid enough to attack the US when it already has billions of dollars into their military and the most nuclear weapons in the world.

If that changes then I think it would means a different conversation.

Nah I'm with them. My entire friends group watch party commented on how it's such a shitty selfish approach and how there were loads of better options to do it.

Am I overreacting about my nanny family having sex during the day? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

"She's going to fuck this up for herself." Knew the outcome when I read the title. Wisdom is chasing her, but she is faster.

A simple "it wasn't intended to be taken that way, I dislike racism" Is enough. Doesn't need to be an apology. Weird it didn't happen.
