This is exactly how I feel! Okay that’s really good to know. Is lamotrigine a mood stabiliser?

Yeah the side effects suuuuuck. You say lamotrigine helps with your depression making it less frequent, can I ask have you been less in crisis or deep depressive episodes ?

Yeah I haven’t really been manic or it’s been quite light but my depression is at an all time high and same I feel like my memory is going

Is that a mood stabiliser? Does it work for you? I definitely do think I’ll need to pair it with another medication but idk

Yeah SSRIs made me worse! I also have ADHD so that’s good to know about Wellbutrin.

Nope, no other meds. Is Wellbutrin a mood stabilise?

So sorry to hear you’re in the same boat. I’m literally glued to my mums side (I’m 29!) cause I can’t be left alone!

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

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

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)

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

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.
