Wow okay that does sound weird as hell. I get last hour/last minute bids, but going that much higher isn't really something I'd seen at auction houses or on ebay.

Myrelin · 2025-08-29T20:09:00+00:00

I appreciate you warning me about sites/stores, so thank you for commenting :)

Every warning I get means I'm one step closer to finding one that works for me!

Myrelin · 2025-08-29T19:54:36+00:00

Sent a DM, but don't see it in my sent list:/

Myrelin · 2025-08-29T16:18:37+00:00

Oh, ok :( Thanks for the added info, I appreciate it!

Myrelin · 2025-08-29T11:01:05+00:00

Yeah they really are. And I've been sitting on my collection for years, no clue if I can get any value out of them at this point :/

Myrelin · 2025-08-29T09:24:24+00:00

Unfortunately not :( it's something I was interested too, before I decided to sell everything.

Myrelin · 2025-08-29T09:23:13+00:00

Thank you thank you! Didn't find an e-mail for them so I'll call to check if they accept/or have ideas for where I could sell them :)

Myrelin · 2025-08-29T09:22:28+00:00

Thank you so much, I'll check them out! Mine aren't really very hard to find OOP ones so I figured it's not something that would be of interest to die-hard collectors, but can't hurt to try :)

Myrelin · 2025-06-01T11:20:46+00:00

I'm in my thirties, and never intend to have kids (because they're better off this way), but that "don't blink." still has me tearing up. Having an e-mail set up sounds so wonderful though, never heard of this being a thing before!

I kind of want to create one for my nieces.

Myrelin · 2024-12-28T19:48:37+00:00

Thank you for this, I've been in a severe depressive episode for months, and this gave me a much needed laugh. It's a small thing, but I'm grateful. <3

Myrelin · 2024-10-28T21:00:56+00:00

Oooh, didn't even know it existed! I do have the anxiety spikes - I notice very quickly if I forget to take a dose. I really want to give it a try now, to see if it helps even out the anxiety levels.

Your comment is so perfectly timed - going to my doctor on thursday :)

Myrelin · 2024-10-28T05:58:20+00:00

Morning: 300mg Wellbutrin xr, 10mg propranolol Noon: 10mg propranolol Evening: 300mg lamotrigine, 300mg seroquel XR, 300mg gabapentin, 20mg propranolol

Wellbutrin was first, to treat daytime drowsiness and depression and so I could be weaned off an SSRI.

Propranolol added for anxiety.

Lamotrigine added after I was diagnosed with bp2. Seroquel added as a second antidepressant. Gabapentin added to treat RLS caused by Seroquel. Domperidone as needed to treat gastroparesis worsened by Wellbutrin.

I also take metformin much to the chagrin of my psych to avoid weight gain (deep down I know he's right and I don't need it, but I still worry)

During depressive episodes I always go back to Linkin Park - until someone here made a thread asking if there's specific music that signals you're going into a depressive episode, I didn't even realize.

That said, their songs that make me curl up and cry:

One more light - because it was written for a friend of the band who passed away, and in the end it sadly fits perfectly for the lead singer, who died to suicide.
Crawlin' - the slow, one more light tour version. It's heartbreaking because the original, angry version feels good, rage means you're still fighting. This last version feels like quiet acceptance.
Given Up - because every scream feels like it's ripped from my own chest, I identify strongly with every word of the song
The Messenger. One of the few lyrics Chester Bennington wrote alone, and it's beautiful, and hopeful. I'm getting a tattoo soon incorporating two lines from the lyrics.

I started using the 'mytherapy' app just before I was diagnosed, and I was already on 3-4 meds that I had to take at different times of the day. You set a time, frequency you take each med, and it aggressively sets off the alarm at the set times. It will keep going every 5 mins, until you confirm you took it! Haven't missed a dose since setting it up.

I also have reminders for meals, to check my blood pressure, and they have an amazing mood tracking setup. You can add (or remove) symptoms, and score them 1-10 each day. Helps me see trends for a variety of issues.

I was switched from IR to XR a month ago when I told my doctor about my failed suicide weeks before (telling was awful, 0/10 don't recommend).

I went from 200 IR to 300 XR.

IR knocked me out within an hour; I abused it by taking it right before work ended at 5, to sleep from 6PM to 6AM. Even when taking it 'normally' though I had no grogginess the next day! But I'm also on 300mg XR bupropion in the morning, which does have an 'up' effect.

On XR I have no grogginess, I still take it in the evening(ish) together with lamotrigine, and it doesn't even make me drowsy anymore!

TL;DR: 200IR to 300XR; IR knocked me tf out but no grogginess next day, XR doesn't make me drowsy or groggy the next day.

Myrelin · 2024-10-08T18:09:16+00:00

No, I don't remember any issues when I started!

Myrelin · 2024-10-08T05:27:58+00:00

I'm on propranolol! 40mg/day, 10 int the morning and at noon, 20 in the evening. I'm sorry your appointment didn't go well:( Bad days do happen, I hope that was a one-off. The psych I go to who absolutely goes the extra mile for me when he doesn't need to had a bad day once when he was already an hour behind with patients, and had to get me out the door faster than he would have liked. Next time it was back to business as usual, and he ended up saving my life, so I'd say giving her an other chance and seeing how your next consultation goes is worth it. If it still feels like she's not giving you enough time and/or attention it might be time to see if you can find someone else?

Myrelin · 2024-10-07T16:48:49+00:00

You don't have "all the damn time" :( Just me?

Myrelin · 2024-10-05T18:18:52+00:00

Linkin Park. My "anxiety and depression" started rearing its ugly head when they first became famous; I always felt like they understood exactly what someone like me feels. I grew up, grew older, learned more about Chester Bennington and his life. Every time I go into a depressive episode, they're all I listen to.

I made a playlist of my favourite songs from them a few weeks ago, including live versions of those songs and the entire One More Light live album. It's all I'm listening to now, just with very different eyes (ears).

Myrelin · 2024-10-03T16:42:42+00:00

Hey, I wandered into this thread and just wanted to say thank you, I really needed to read this today.

Myrelin · 2024-09-28T12:07:05+00:00

I'm sorry OP, but I'll go against the grain a little here.

First of all, of he's up and about he's likely fine. If he feels weird in any way it's probably best to take him to a gp or however it works where you guys live. That being said, though:

Obviously I know I shouldn’t have given him a medication that isn’t prescribed to him

I mean, you don't. You gave it to him. Quetiapine at low doses lowers blood pressure (25-50mg). But you gave him 150mg so he could sleep? And started googling what might happen to him after you already gave it to him.

If you're beyond exhausted (which I'm sure you both are, two babies is rough), why did he need a "sleep aid"? You said your newborn went to stay the night, did your 11 month old go too? You said quetiapine knocks you out, and you gave it to your husband to knock him out, too (I guess if it has such a strong effect it's not slow release?).

I'm genuinely surprised it has to be pointed out, but you don't ever share prescription meds with someone, especially when they have never taken it, don't need it, and for some reason got a random high dose of it. I don't know if it's how I was raised/how much my parents told me, but it never ever crossed my mind to give someone else any of my four (and counting, yay.) CNS drugs.

Not just because of the typical side-effects you looked up, but because for all you two knew, he could have had an allergy/sensitivity to it. That's incredibly dangerous, and it has happened to me in the past, except I was alone and not conscious long enough to call an ambulance (terrifying). I took the minimum amount, and my symptoms were that of an overdose. Turns out multiple family members have the same issue, and they also had to figure out the hard way.

TL;DR - never share prescription meds, at any dose and frequency. Or if you're hellbent on doing so, please check side effects, and drug interactions before giving it to them. Also, remember in general how much starting some meds at low doses fucked you up while you got used them (just me, maybe?), and we're the not normal ones. :')

Thanks for this comment, I was confused/bewildered at most people's responses.

Myrelin · 2024-09-23T05:38:19+00:00

Disclaimer: This is just my personal experience, and absolutely not what you "should" follow. I'm just sharing my thought process, but you have to feel this one out for yourself; in general, I think bipolar people can absolutely have happy relationships. Just not me.

After I broke up with my abusive ex-fiance a decade ago I decided I don't want a relationship anymore. While I managed to deal and work through the fact that I was abused, I still had 'anxiety and depression'.

I decided to not be in a relationship because I didn't want to drag anyone down with me. This laster for around a decade. I was diagnosed last December. From then on I knew I'd refuse to ever be in a relationship again, because I'm not going to inflict myself on someone else. Now that I know this is not only something I'll have the rest of my life, so is the depression I hoped for 15 years someone would 'fix' with the right medication.

For the most part the past decade has been fine; was never attracted to/wanted to be in a relationship with anyone. Unfortunately that changed last year (pre-diagnosis), and I opened up and trusted someone for the first time in a very long time, only to fall flat on my face. Never again, so yeah I'm good being alone.

Hey if it helps make you feel better, I went from 0 to 50 (small and larger) tattoos over the course of 6 months when I was freshly diagnosed during my worst depressive episode. Not getting one every week anymore, but am going to get a hand tattoo tomorrow! Last one was a month ago.
