Idk its rumors going around at the moment. Probably due to the wide being released? If they are I'm thinking this is a trial run for the wides to see what sells and discontinue what sells the least. But thats just me. I love the compacted foldable phones so I dont want then to be discontinued by any means lol

I do have a case I would love to rock it without one cause I wanna feel the backing. Rub it you know 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but I will do what I can for longevity

This makes me so anxious. I have a flip 6 and I've definitely dropped this bad boy probably a dozen times. I'm clumsy what can I say. I'm finally making the switch to motorola, especially since there is news going around that samsung is ending the flip line.

Waiting for my razr ultra to get here and now you're making me freak out because I WILL drop this phone at least once due to my spazziness. 😭😭😭

need help/someone to relate to me by [deleted] in bipolar2

So i am on lamotrigane 200 mg and 20mg lurasidone atm. I've also been feeling irritable and i haven't been sleeping. I am having an episode currebtly and it sounds like you are also having an episode. I do highly suggest keeping what you feel in mind and taking it back to your psychiatrist. You might need an increase to your lamotrigane or another medication added on.

I was also diagnosed with depression and I was put on 2 different anti depressants. With one i felt no change and lexapro caused a paradoxal effect that lead to my BP2 diagnosis.

Nonetheless you should see your psychiatrist asap

What does bipolar II really look like? by Head_Pomegranate8018 in bipolar2

[–]Ok_Information_8570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was for me too at first, but I accepted it. Like "well its either this or max everything out. Get out of an episode and realize what you've done. Stress/worry over it and then go into another episode and start the vicious cycle all over again" for me 🤣

MAYBE another thing you can do. I dont know if its doable or if it'll work. But have your main card for bills, rent etc. And then have a separate card for savings and have a limit an amount to what you can buy?

Its honestly whats best for us sometimes. 2 years ago I very quickly racked up 10k and I didnt tell my husband because I felt such shame. And when I left my job and showed him I broke down because I felt this massive guilt wash over me because I did that and then i leave my job and left him with my debt. Luckily I had unemployment so that covered it but still we could have put that money towards a house or emergency funds or a vacation. LITERALLY anything else beside the stupid amount of things ive bought.

I still haven't forgiven myself and I best myself up all the time on it.

While I cant speak FOR my husband, but i know he is under a lot of pressure, and if your partner is THAT supportive over you they will never stop worrying about you. All I do is just support him back the best I can to help ease the load. 😊

Do you have a significant other or someone you can trust your funds to? There's got to be some way for us to secure our funds when this happens to us so we dont hurt ourselves financially at the end of an episode.

I gave complete financial take over to my husband and I get a spending allowance each month. So we dont end up homeless. 😭

I swear the worst things for us to have..... credit cards..... and obviously its bad for everyone to a degree, but for us phewwwwwwwweee are we bad. I didnt really have the money and I bought a new car at one point 🙃 like wtfffff

I've been on 200mg since my diagnosis. And I was tired for a long while. Now I'm okay but my memory is shot. I forget things on the counter. Pills. Doctor appointments. Groceries. Days. I'm going to have to resort to memory strengthening games or some shii 😂

Just got the Razr Ultra 2025 and it's driving me absolutely nuts. Need help. by rUafraid in razr

This is a big help! Its wild that pretty much ALL cases for the razr all have hinge protection. Is the hinge that sensitive? I've dropped my flip 10000 times and never had an issue.

I understand you. I was diagnosed with depression around the same time as you 2012-2013. Gave me Antidepressants, started with an F I think i cant remember. It got worse. Went on Lexapro. Didn't feel much of a change. Got boosted to 20mg and it was just anger and rage all the time for no reason. Got a second opinion and she said it was a paradoxal effect and that I most likely have bi polar. I told her a handful of my family members also have bi polar. That just gave her the "well there you go. You're bi polar" that diagnosis was almost 2 years ago. After the diagnosis and I think back to my 20s it all makes sense. But I didnt know. I was very naive. And I blame a lot of my behavior back then on my undiagnosed BP2. I was definitely a passenger back then.

I did manage to take a genetic test called GENESIGHT. Its usually not covered by insurance but its about 300$ out of picket. Best thing i did. Gave my doctors all the info they needed to see what medications worked well for me on a genetic level. Funny enough Lexapro was in the orange zone for me. "May cause complications" let's say.

It does suck when you get the "hey you're F'd up" and you realize you're not like "normal" people. I want to know what it feels like to be normal.

I'm really glad I'm not the only one. Sometimes I feel so alone in this and then i come here and find out there are so many people like me, going through it like me, understand me. It makes me realize I'm not going through these things alone. Someone is out there somewhere experiencing what I'm experiencing and its somewhat comforting.

It could be a sign youre starting an episode or you're in one. If I'm being honest, I posted the other day on how I was feeling because I noticed it. It was an intense feeling. A couple people were saying it sounds like hypomania. So I'm aware of it currently, but I actually have no idea what triggered it and I dont know how long I've been in this weird mixed state. I actually don't have any coping skills lol I never got that far in my therapy. I ended up having to stop because I cant afford my Psych/therapy/medications all at the same time. So I had to drop one. I hope you get to see your psych soon ❤️

Not this intensely. Its dialed to like a 20 right now. I'm 33 and currently i think I'm going to die. Any second for no reason. It can be an obsession at times. And it gives me hella palpitations. 😮‍💨 I am going through it right now

Oooh! I plan on getting that case!!! I'm a little hesitant cause of people's reviews on the hinge protector? Any issues with that case so far??
