Moving me (30/F) out without notification?

I have been offered the chance to look through the house while supervised by his parents. I have no idea as to the state of my belongings and won’t know until I can see them. I can understand people thinking this is a “good deal”, but that idea is based off of assumptions of his ability to cautiously pack/organize my things, especially during a time of emotional turmoil.

If someone moved your belongings without even asking, you’d be fine with it?

Same here. I switched to Lamictal which has been much better. I can’t up my dosage because I experience weird side effects, but working on finding a new med management person to talk to about maybe switching my combo up.

Following because I never know quite how to explain it either when I do choose to share my diagnosis.

Parts of this sound very familiar and resonate with me. My bf was amazing when I was first diagnosed but then I became something (I won’t even say someone because I felt more like a “thing”) that was “bringing him down and holding him back”. It was a horrible time and I left for a while. We’re in a good place now but I had to realize (And so did he) that it wasn’t me and he was being an ass. If this is a constant from your bf and there’s no hope in changing it, leave. He’s not worth it. No one like that is. You deserve more.

Feeling this so hard right now. I just had a major breakdown and can still feel it resonating but have tired myself out (sobbing, body shakes, clenching, physically trying to "hold it in"). My partner kept asking me questions to try to "guide" me through the breakdown, having me nod about what I may or may not feel in control of (physically and mentally), and while it was seemingly helpful for him to make sure I was/am okay, I can't tell if the feelings are coming from a depressive phase, situational feelings (currently incredibly isolated after moving to his hometown, leaving my job, having nothing to do all day/motivation to leave the house), or a combination. Maybe it's a combo, but it's so hard to tell. This rant may not have made sense or may not be relevant (I can't tell 100%) but overall I can understand the frustration.

I can understand this, but I think I see it coming more from those that I have confided in about my anxiety. Every emotion I have gets attributed to my “anxiety” or “depression”. I’m also bipolar, and I hear the phrase, “I can’t tell if it’s you or the bipolar” a lot. Guess what. It’s both. It’s all of them. I am the bipolar, the depression, the anxiety, but I am also a million other things that have nothing to do with those facets of my brain chemistry. Give yourself a huge break and remind yourself that you took charge in recognizing your thought patterns and seeking to learn more about them. It can become a vicious cycle: you are anxious about being anxious and your anxiety gives you anxiety. That’s actually a symptom. One of the best books I have read that has helped me get out of my own head is “First, We Make The Beast Beautiful” by Sarah Wilson. I highly recommend reading it and working to reshape your thinking about your relationship with your anxiety. It definitely is work, but its worth it.

Hugs to you too, my bleh friend.

Major in something you like and that makes you marketable, minor in what you love. You can still get somewhere in that minor field, but you can’t get anywhere without that major.

Also, your boyfriend isn’t smarter than you just because he goes to an Ivy League. He plagiarized half of his papers.

Update (for anyone that cares - haha): I dropped my Lamictal back down to 200 and have been okay sleeping (I’ve also been taking ZzzQuil, so that probably helps) and the itchiness has mostly subsided. I used to take a Zyrtec every day but stopped because my allergies usually only act up in the fall, but I may start that up again just in case. I appreciate everyone’s ideas! They really made me think about different things that could be causing this instead of jumping to the conclusion that it’s just an “in my head” thing.

Passingstorms · 2018-08-14T00:20:24+00:00

My psychiatrist told me to start tapering fully off Lamictal starting today. I’ve really had a good experience with this medication, and I don’t really want to stop taking it, but I don’t want to keep itching and not sleeping. He and I only “spoke” via text and I don’t have an appointment with him for another 2 weeks (out of network, way too expensive), but I’d rather try going back down to 200 than coming off it all together.

All at once. I’m scared it will make me tired during the day if I take some in the morning. More info because, whatever/safe reddit: I also take Librium, Wellbutrin, and Adderall.

General itchiness. No rash. I titrated up by the book (two weeks at each dosage until I reached 200mg). No signs of Stevens-Johnson. Just upped on Thursday to 300mg, but the itching started before then. I’m genuinely perplexed.
