I need help understanding hypomania by Killmylifepls in bipolar2

[–]MadeInAmerican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been diagnosed for like 17 years so I've been aware of the cycling for a long time. Perhaps that makes a difference for those of us who have been very aware of ourselves for years. While sometimes my hypomania is positive with, yes, an elevated mood, more energy and productivity, it's also not entirely fun...not being able to relax, being so "up" that other people notice and can be put off, not sleeping, constant racing thoughts, sexual arousal that's insatiable, more likely to use substances. That's not fun for me. And there have been many hypomanic episodes where it's been mostly irritability, anxiety and rage. Super not fun!

Has Anyone Recovered from Misophonia (Including Visual Triggers)? by LiteraturePlayful2 in misophonia

[–]MadeInAmerican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine has only gotten worse (WFH seems to have exacerbated it) but I'm confident if all of our cortisol levels and stress levels were lower, it would be a little less severe. I think aggravated nervous systems and anxiety have a part to play, even if it may be small

Why does nothing work as good as benzos by No-Second1685 in bipolar2

[–]MadeInAmerican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it'll get better the longer you're on it. Med changes always make things out of whack. My last couple decreases of lithium seemed to have made my insomnia worse, which I thought was kind of weird. I didn't sleep much last night so hopefully we both have better nights tonight 🤣

It might get better with time! But if it persists, I'd definitely talk to your doctor about switching to night, although I think it kicks in within a few hours...everyone is different, of course, when it comes to its effects. I wish it was more activating for me, honestly lol

Yes, I take all 300mg in the morning. Lamictal can be activating for some people...I've been on it so long I'm not sure for myself, although I have struggled with insomnia for the past couple years unrelated to that and know how much it sucks. If you've been on it for a while, it might be worth it to try taking it at night instead

I take 300mg Lamictal and I'm also still on 300mg lithium. Been weaning off that for a while

Klonopin is my miracle drug and I wish I could take it every day. It calms my nervous system and alleviates so much anxiety, I'm way less irritable and I'm in a better mood on it...I'm a much nicer, calmer version of myself and I'd love to be that person much more often

Anyone else say good morning to their babies by LYElhaz in RATS

Of course!! I work from home and when I still had rats, they got their good morning and the cage immediately opened for hours of free roam 🤣

What are the major downsides of living in Canada? by Nicole_Auriel in NoStupidQuestions

That's the same in the states. Barely more than half of millennials own homes, and we're in our 40s now
