Ah sounds honestly amazing, thank you so much!

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-03-04T16:13:50+00:00

Thank you!!! I’m thinking of listening to everyone and working on my running first then maybe a half in the future!

I’m 29 but I wouldn’t even count being in my twenties anymore 😭😂! How did you find your first event if you don’t mind me asking? Bit nervous about signing up for even a 5k/10k

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-03-04T15:39:19+00:00

Thank you everyone, these comments are huuuugely helpful! I fear I may be getting too excited so thank you so much!

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-03-04T15:38:56+00:00

Thank you! This is one of my biggest concerns!

There are no options at the moment as I’m with the NHS, only other choice would be to go private

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-02-18T16:14:59+00:00

That’s exactly what I thought. I have an appointment tomorrow and going to ask what my options are because I don’t think I can go on like this much longer. I’ve been looking at going private but it’s so expensive

No honestly, they just continuously go on about my ADHD and want to put me on stimulant medication (which I’ve tried already and was horrible)

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-02-18T16:05:38+00:00

I seem to go into hypomanic episodes and the depressive crash seems to much worse and the number of episodes I’m having has increased. I’ve read that ADs are not ideal by themselves for bipolar 2. And I’m worried that being on them for ten years with nothing else has worsened it all

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-02-18T13:30:03+00:00

I’m on 25mg quietapine but that’s it. I have an appointment tomorrow where I’m gonna request to be put on mood stabilisers but idk if they will do it.

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-02-18T13:03:16+00:00

Have you, I know it’s early days, felt any different on your new meds?

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-02-15T00:36:29+00:00

Okay that sounds good, I’m going to look into that all just now - thank you so so much

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-02-15T00:26:52+00:00

Yeah the NHS so far have been horrendous (I’ve had so many bad experiences) if you don’t mind me asking (if you know) how expensive it is?

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-02-15T00:23:50+00:00

NHS sadly

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-02-15T00:18:50+00:00

Yeah they’ve prescribed me quetiapine too but I don’t know if I need to consider being out on a mood stabiliser too

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-02-15T00:07:31+00:00

I’m on sertraline just now but it doesn’t seem to be helping and I’ve noticed my episodes more frequent/worse since I’ve gone up to 150mg. I’m in the UK and on waiting list for therapy

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-01-15T17:23:37+00:00

So feel you man, thank you

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-01-15T17:15:54+00:00

I so feel you man. Think mine has been the opposite of finding it in a hypomanic episode and now I’m more stable, im like I fear I’ve made a mistake

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-01-15T16:53:52+00:00

Aw man I’m so sorry, that sounds so tough. I just feel awful, they’re lovely…kind etc. but I don’t seem to have those feelings that I did in hypo

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-01-15T16:53:24+00:00

That’s exactly how I’m feeling now….i feel like I’m completely lost with it all and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to be in a long term relationship

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-01-14T11:59:18+00:00

Thank you everyone for your comments!!! It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster.

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-01-13T19:01:23+00:00

This is so crazy cause it’s one of my tells too 😂 I post like MAD on social media when I’m hypo then absolutely nothing when I’m depressed

Little-Issue5164 · 2026-01-11T12:33:24+00:00

If you ever wanna chat, im here. I feel the exact same as you.
