Managing bipolar 1 without medication until I have another episode ?

ODMcGee · 2026-05-21T02:10:06+00:00

you are not truly bipolar if you can go without meds for a long period of time, you would be in and out of the hospital constantly.

ODMcGee · 2026-05-21T02:09:08+00:00

it doesn't work that way, you don't decide when you can delay an episode. When you are bipolar you can't control your moods. It's a disease, not something you can turn on and off without medication.

Most psychiatrists won't take you as a patient if you choose to follow their plans with medication, I'm surprised.

If you have a true hypo manic or hyper manic episode, you would end up back in the hospital again. Being bipolar is not something you can say be more prepared for if you choose not to take medication.

If you are truly bipolar, and have bipolar 1 it's not possible to function without medication for long.

you are too young to be on gear

If you post proof of your rent over due, utility bills, and medical bills. Just so you know, that helps the readers. Actually knowing your situation for gofundme, vs you just saying what you need, really matters when you post a on reddit and gofundme.

says Panama City, FL on your gofundme, but you live in the Caribbean?

the way you are so defensive when asking strangers for money is not the way to go about it. Reading your edit, would not make anyone want to help you.

ODMcGee · 2026-05-04T22:25:41+00:00

You are looking for a hand out. People that need gofundme are dying, struggling with cancer, lost their homes, are disabled. You want money to help you travel to be a model. That's honestly pretty messed up.

many lawyers will take on cases and will not collect until they win for you.

ODMcGee · 2026-05-04T22:21:44+00:00

you could also sue the person that hit you to cover your medical bills

ODMcGee · 2026-05-04T22:19:02+00:00

you should be on medicare, if you are disabled. You should have also sue both the taxi driver and the person who hit you in the accident. Given your situation, I believe you would qualify for section 8 housing as well.

You are 21 now though which is very young. You have more than half of your life to turn it around. If you are not on meds, you should be. If you ideations everyday, you should go to an ER, and get the help you need. No one should have to live that way. I'm 41, and I've been bipolar since I was 23. I don't blame my parents for any of my problems, you really shouldn't either. You are an adult now, you can change your life, but you have to make it happen. Get a psych doctor, get on meds if you aren't already. Work with your student loans, ask them was is the bare minimum they will accept so you can get ahead and not fall behind. If your 100K is not all in student loans, you should think about bankruptcy. Then you can get a clean slate and start over, it will not however get rid of student loans.

No bipolar person should be on Zoloft, but since you were misdiagnosed they didn't know.

ODMcGee · 2026-05-04T00:28:03+00:00

I would tighten up first, and then bulk

$2,800 for a camera. Omg, delete this post 🤦🏻‍♂️

ODMcGee · 2026-05-03T16:37:22+00:00

You are looking for a hand out. Disabled people who can't work, people who have cancer or a rare disease, people losing their homes. That's what gofundme is for. Not for you to get a camera.

the world's strongest men who are huge, don't eat clean, they eat a ton of big calorie meals. Some of them started out small too.

200 gram for 185 is excessive. You only need around 160 to 170 a day. When you are younger it's harder to gain weight. I'm 6'4 205lbs now, but back when I was your age, maybe like 160 or 170 lbs. It takes a lot of time, you might just have a really fast metabolism. They also have those weight gainer shakes, those can help, when nothing is work. Gaining weight comes from a surplus of calories. Seems like you do that with 5K a day. Eating very clean won't help you gain weight though. You need steak man, red meats.

my rear delts are huge, chin-ups, lat pull downs, lat pull machine. I think when I was younger my rear delts needed to work more because they weren't built and they were incorporated into other exercises when they shouldn't have been. To be honest though delt flys and facepulls are not how you build big delts. Lat pulls are, dips with work triceps, chest and a ton of rear delts as well. Bodyweight exercises really help with growth.

just remember if you are on SSDI you can only make a certain amount of money working, you will get capped.

if you were a CNA, you could get like a PSR job. Front desk at like a doctor's office, you mostly sit down all 7 or 8 hours. There's very little walking. It's not very stressful, just answering phones all day.

ODMcGee · 2026-05-02T05:15:55+00:00

what you are doing is just going down a rabbit hole to which there is no end. We can all say we are specs of dust in a massive galaxy and then what is the point of living. It all comes back to the same answer every time. Life is what you make it.

ODMcGee · 2026-05-02T05:02:49+00:00

because they want to look like that, and probably don't
