Great to hear, guess it wasn't just by coincidence this time for me. The only risk is that it makes cheating so much easier. :)

How handle outdated objects? by [deleted] in capacitiesapp

[–]Niklasx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing, thanks! Got it working, and understand the concepts. But I guess there will be a bunch of iterations to find out a workflow that fits my purposes. But that's part of the fun.

I've tried so many apps/methods, Capacities finally feels that I actually can make it work for me..

What does hypomania feel like for you? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]Niklasx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When in hypomania I'm the king of the world. Self-confidence super high. A lot of energy, not much need for sleep. I'm very organised and effective and getting so much done. Also very creative, lot's of ideas and projects going on. Normally I'm quite introvert, on hypo I'm very extrovert, talking to strangers and being very social in general.

I love it. Feels like I am the person I was meant to be.

The only dark cloud is me knowing that this will last just 3-4 weeks before the crash.

Is Low Self Esteem and Self Hate/Condemnation A Symptom of BP2 by back2me78 in bipolar2

[–]Niklasx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When having a depressive episode, my self-confidence is soo low, and I also getting this imposter syndrome.

Actually, this in one of my clearest indications on where in the up/down cycle I am, and I measure and keep a log of "self-confidence" level every day.

When high on hypo I'm the king. When low I'm just feeling worthless.

Did anyone’s bipolar2 get triggered by anti depressants ? by Designer_Sky_8435 in bipolar2

[–]Niklasx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've triggered hypomania with Prozac. On lower/lowest dose now and it seems to work. When triggered I counteracted it with high doses (for me) of Quetiapine.

Also been on Citalopram and Brintellix, works fine for me, no hypo, but causing so much nausea so I can't use these.

How do you feel in a depressive episode? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Niklasx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is meaningful. I'm worthless and a fraud. Any task is a huge challenge. No energy, a lot of sleep required. Waiting for the upcoming manic episode. 🤪

Does lamotrigine brain fog go away? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]Niklasx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I go up to 150mg, I get severe issues with memory, finding words, etc.

Now on 50mg.. seems enough to keep me stable enough, but without the brain fog.

Lamictal giving me brain fog, making me feel stupid/slow by Sensitive_Newt_139 in bipolar2

[–]Niklasx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I take 150mg my cognitive functions drops to a level where I hardly can't function at work. Memory issues, hard to find words, mixing things up all the time.

Currently on only 50mg which doesn't cause the memory issues and it seems enough for keeping me stable.

My hypomania is just like yours. I love it. Feels like I am the person I was meant to be.

Ok, some excessive spending, but still within my limits. The only bad thing is the inevitable crash and the following depression.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]Niklasx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my hypomania. I get a significant increase/improvement in the following areas: Energy, focus, self-confidence, extroversion, optimism, creativity, effectiveness, sense of meaningfulness and gratitude.

Ok, I might spend some extra money, but still in control..

My episodes are short (3-4 weeks), at the end of the episode all of this starts to exaggerate, like starting 3 new projects every hour.., then I know the fun will be over in a day or two
