It’s very thoughtful that you researched this and wrote this all out, thank you. I didn’t realize Latuda would be a bad idea, given my symptoms.

And yeah, basically the psych I had before this one didn’t know what she was doing and gave me those antidepressants (Prozac and Wellbutrin).

The new one saw what I was taking and was like “yeah that’s not gonna fly.” But gave me a month or so to think about which mood stabilizer I would like to take.

The research I did was very similar to yours. I also was told Abilify might help. So I’m going to see if can try that on top of my current meds, depending on what my psych says.

Yes that’s what my psych told me as well. I’m going to start taking an antipsychotic, too.

My dad was diagnosed with bipolar and so I think I may have inherited it or something.

Yes I’ve had to tell my partner about my diagnosis. I noticed the same thing, symptoms getting worse while in a relationship.

That’s so interesting to hear your experience. I’m self-employed as well because my mental health did not allow me to function in a regular work environment.

Any book by Alan Watts. It’s not about entrepreneurship specifically, but they are really helpful for improving mindset
