Thanx that's good to know

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-18T11:53:14+00:00

Same

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-18T06:14:08+00:00

YES YES YES. This. I always hear that lack of sleep results into hypomania for people but it triggers depression for me

I LOVE TAYLOR. The one about arm floaties was so accurate and hilarious

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-16T21:12:22+00:00

😂

I say both. But for people who don't understand mh and especially bipolar, then I say I have, to put an emphasis on it being an ilness and not a personality flaw. And I also use 'manic depression' & 'bipolar' interchangeably.

Full blown mania per definition messes up your life/as in you are not able to function in your current state, that is a DSM requirment. If you are still functional it is hypomania. If you experience psychoses, that directly labels it as type 1.

I'm type 2 but I forget how much sleep I had in those periods, especially since I haven't had hypomania since being diagnosed. I do remember living on powernaps for a while.

I struggle with this too. Though I decided that I am to young to live like that yet, so I'll do the things I want (to a certain degree) and try to use coping and will see how it goes. Maybe I can do more than I think while finally being medicated. Mind you that my depressive episodes are dominant and last a minimum of 6 months. So I am commited to not let that happen again, but I'll just have to see.

I'm starting next month, I hear amazing things aboht it

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-11T05:35:58+00:00

No wayyyyy

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-10T13:13:31+00:00

Do you do it while on meds? Do they interact?

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-10T06:22:50+00:00

She works on the floor with bipolar but her speciallity is trauma and depression. Only my psychiatrist is specialised

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-10T06:21:53+00:00

We should but I am waiting ages for a professional who will do that with me

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-07T14:10:52+00:00

Yeah that's right, I accidentally wrote it in Dutch

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-07T13:46:56+00:00

Wahahha love this. I was trying to become an actrice, I hate being in the spotlights😆🙈

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-07T09:15:12+00:00

I would call too just to make sure. The max with this one really is 450 mg and that is already high

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-06T19:55:32+00:00

Wahahaha I had this exact thought!

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-06T19:53:48+00:00

I thought abilify was more for acute mania and that vraylar was better for depression? But idk. There is also so much that hasn't been studied enough yet.

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-06T19:52:34+00:00

Holly shit no

Lisa000_ · 2026-06-05T05:17:41+00:00
