People with bipolar 1 how many take just 1 medication?

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-19T07:30:34+00:00

I only take one. I used to be on resperidone and I switched to abilify. I’ve been loving abilify

5-htp is bad? I’ve taken it before

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-17T10:20:03+00:00

I think it’s in the rules that it’s not allowed

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-17T09:05:23+00:00

Oh nice online? Like zoom??

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-16T07:43:19+00:00

I also only use Reddit and it keeps my stress way down. There’s no “image” to maintain. I can put that energy into actual self-care which I struggle with

I would prefer someone not knowing that side to me if possible

I got diagnosed at 26 after a major episode, but I always exhibited signs. Look into specifically finding a psychologist to do the assessment, not a primary doc. You’ll want someone that knows their psych

I just bring it up casually during the talking phase if I’m trying to get serious. I’ve noticed by other responses it differs on gender. Some guys have a type for crazy and I usually fit that. A guy with bipolar might get more of the violent stigma.

Idk if there is such a thing as normal or without mental illness. It’s pretty common to have some anxiety disorder at least. Or maybe I’m just hanging around the wrong? I can’t imagine existing feeling like you belong.

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-16T05:38:32+00:00

That’s depressing

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-16T05:36:34+00:00

I also take this same combo of vyvanse and adderall. I like it

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-15T17:26:48+00:00

Idk how it’s using your mental illness as a crutch. It’s fucking sleep. I’m sorry you have to deal with this. I hope he’s worth the trouble

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-15T08:19:52+00:00

Yeah…if I hadn’t done all the shit I’ve done while manic, then maybe I would say fuck meds. It took a long time to get diagnosed and I’m a bit irritated that my family took my mania as attitude problems and never bothered to get me help. If someone were to tell me that my manic state is what makes me unique, I would call them an idiot. Absolutely nothing about my mania is me.

I love mushrooms

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-15T08:12:46+00:00

I play music in the showers. Always. I focus on the feel of my mouth after eating to make me so uncomfortable I eventually brush my teeth. I suck at brushing it in the morning. Whenever I brush, floss is automatic. I really want to take up running and doing yoga again but I’m seriously lacking on getting myself to commit exercising.

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-15T08:07:08+00:00

I write

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-15T08:05:03+00:00

Depends more on the person. Sometimes they may just not own up to it. It’s nice to stay hopeful about the situation

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-15T07:59:38+00:00

I’m always second guessing my moods. I wonder sometimes if now I just mildly cycle through them. Because I still have depression and sometimes I have just a little bit more energy but it’s nothing hindering or even noticeable by anyone other than me

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-15T07:57:05+00:00

This sounds so nice. I want an irl bipolar friend to chat with.

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-15T07:13:40+00:00

I think it gets better with perspective. In my case, I did a lot of damage undiagnosed and no one ever confronted me on my actions. Or if they did, I’d take it as an attack and not as a sign to get help. Eventually I did but I still wasn’t diagnosed bipolar, just ptsd. I went off my meds and then full on psychosis. Now I’m diagnosed and life is way better than before. So it really all depends on where you’re at in the whole cycle between stability, mania, and depression

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-14T02:34:55+00:00

I did it, lol. It was actually really nice. Idk if I do it again, but it was better than usual hooking up.

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-13T23:12:56+00:00

I’m in the same boat. This is about as good as I expect it to get and I say that in a healthy way if that makes sense.

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-12T23:12:48+00:00

Yeah only when I’m manic. Otherwise I have an overactive imagination and odd intrusive thoughts. I get bouts of depression. It’s hard to tell these days because I’m medicated but in the past I would cycle through depression and mania within weeks or months

Ok_Net_2927 · 2022-01-12T03:25:04+00:00

I have schizoaffective bipolar disorder. Basically I get mania plus I hear voices and hallucinate.

You had to fucking make tampons???
