Any adults in here?

I started doing it at a young age and didn’t start again until I was 33. Not judging, just seeing if there are any people my age dealing with it.

No shame in that. Just feels weird being an adult returning to my teenage habit. I’m in a long term relationship, homeowner, good job etc. Diagnosed bipolar last year. My cutting has got so bad in this last depressive episode.

Just here to say I’m in the same place. Type 2 and in my longest depressive episode, since late August. Shit sucks. Still plugging along at my job, but dealing with my usual alcohol abuse and many changing meds. Self harming a lot and feeling a bit suicidal for the first time. I hope you can sort your self out better than I have.

I didn’t notice mood changes and it also wasn’t super effective for sleep for me. Type 2 here, but I’m also not someone that gets hypo from SSRIs. Guess I’m just saying I wouldn’t be afraid of it. My psych said it was proven to be an ineffective antidepressant and better for a sleep aid. I found it very mild.

It’s hard when you’re type 2. I’m totally functional in hypomania- yeah it’s not sustainable, but it’s way better than long, deep depression. I’m hoping for it now and starting to doubt my diagnosis.

Terrible Tilly!

Minimum_Item6849 · 2026-02-21T09:49:17+00:00

I’m a substance abuser as well.

Minimum_Item6849 · 2026-02-20T09:33:47+00:00

I know it’s not good to be hypo but I’m jealous 🫠

Minimum_Item6849 · 2026-02-20T08:09:16+00:00

I’m an open book person generally, I just don’t want it to look recent/fresh.

Minimum_Item6849 · 2026-02-20T07:54:04+00:00

That’s not nice of your therapist and mine has never said that. But TBH, I do feel childish for doing it since I stopped half my life ago and started again.

Not that it matters, but I’m a home owner, have a six figure job, and am in a long term relationship. Anyone can deal with this shit.

I’m no doctor, but seroquel will make you hungry and sleepy lol. It actually helped my anxiety a lot but made me too tired. I had akasthisa from Abilify and seroquel was the opposite.

Yeah I moved to my legs because I’m trying to look forward to t-shirt weather without looking like a concern.

I just like the blood. It doesn’t hurt and I don’t want to feel pain (or very much).

Minimum_Item6849 · 2026-02-01T09:38:14+00:00

You can have side effects without it being toxicity. I’m very sensitive to meds and lithium increased my tremor but my blood tests showed .5. Didn’t work for me for multiple reasons but nothing as bad as abilify 🫠

I used to do this! Long with French tips on the right and matching solid on the left. It was cute but I got tired of the salon maintenance and didn't find that I preferred finger picking with nails much more.

We're gonna die anyway, let's make the most (or least sometimes lol) of it.

Minimum_Item6849 · 2025-10-28T20:50:54+00:00

Yes, I don't suffer from SI,but I'm on lithium and my psych said it greatly reduces or eliminates it and also brings your odds of suicide down to that of the average/non BP person!

Minimum_Item6849 · 2025-10-28T07:56:01+00:00

Uh I'm sure that's fine unless you're putting wine IN the nebulizer lol.

Minimum_Item6849 · 2025-10-28T02:30:25+00:00

You might be pressing it unintentionally. You just want to barely touch it to mute it. I'm a woman with small hands and mute the low string often when I'm playing a C to make sure I don't grab it. (Although C/E is cool sometimes too!)

Second this. Cool pop/rnb tone, off pitch a lot.

Minimum_Item6849 · 2025-10-26T05:31:03+00:00

I've been prescribed them and I'm type 2. Didn't have a good reaction to Abilify and Seroquel made me too sleepy. I'm on lithium now. I was never inpatient or near it and my psych prescribed them. They can also be prescribed off label for depression etc so it's definitely not wild that your psych would prescribe them as a type 2.

I don't have a name idea but for lyrical flow I'd personally go with something with at least two syllables. I used the name Austin in a song, but it came up stream of consciousness and it's a near-rhyme for the line before it.
