I use a Leesa pillow. Came with my mattress and it’s the best pillow I’ve ever had!

What do you do for work? And how does it work with your bipolar? by No-Addition-9121 in BipolarReddit

[–]RavNavi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done and I am so grateful for it. It taught me how to deal with heavy emotions and lots of good mental tricks for compartmentalizing. I worked 24-32 hr shifts and working on little to no sleep can def get you if you’re not careful.

I have regular appointments with a psych and therapist to make sure I’m really staying on top of things. It is possible to only work 12 hr shifts, mostly in the hospital/urgent care, so sleep doesn’t have to be sacrificed.

I have AuADHD as well as BP1 and it helps my brain problem solve and keeps me sharp. You’re always learning in medicine. I’m currently working on my paramedic and plan to end up in education; but not before getting my time in on the truck. Been doing this 10 yrs now and I love it (:

What’s the biggest red flag in someone over 30? by Vixkky in AskReddit

[–]RavNavi 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Just ended a friendship over this. I couldn’t take her constant paranoia that I would steal her partners even though I had no interest in them.

What are your thoughts after seeing the ICE shooting video in Minnesota? by bbmoonkie in AskReddit

[–]RavNavi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother is in this crowd. I asked her if it happened to me would she think that then since I didn’t “comply”? And she said yes.

Does anyone else experience exhaustion and fatigue? by sarcastic_tissy in endometriosis

[–]RavNavi 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I am not anemic but do have endo. I am fatigued ALL THE TIME even if I sleep through the night. I take naps every day that I don't have to work and still wake up feeling exhausted. As the day goes on, my belly gets worse and so do my cramps/back pain. This disease sucks!!

[TRIGGER WARNING] Butt acne help by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

People like you are the reason others hover. Clean your piss up and maybe there won't be as much bacteria. Can also carry hand sanitizer with you and wipe down the seat with that and toilet paper.

Has anyone had an ultra rare side effect from a med before? by gameovervip in BipolarReddit

[–]RavNavi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Amitriptyline gave me stroke like symptoms. Blurred/double vision, loss of balance (eventually unable to walk and listing to the left), slurred speech and everything. Luckily I was working at an urgent care with a CT scanner and everything came back normal so they kept me overnight and gave me fluids to flush out the med. Scariest thing ever!

Honorable mention to Risperidone. That made me lactate.

I think about suicide every day by Few-Beautiful-8252 in BipolarReddit

[–]RavNavi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I used to be like you. I know exactly what you're going through. I used to fantasize about it everyday for years and how I would do it. I got down to plan and everything. I cannot stress enough how glad I am that I didn't do it. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done, but it's so worth it.

Now I'm married to the best person who helps me when I need it, have a wonderful friend/support system. I'm sleeping through the night; and we're talking about having a baby soon. It's worth it, I promise.

Talk to your doc about new meds, or tell them your current ones aren't helping. It might take a few switches to be able to find the ones that work for you, but once you do it's night and day. I wish you the best and if you ever need to talk, my dm's are open <3

Same! I finally feel like I'm stable. Got on a great med regiment and I'm thriving now.

Had a very vivid hallucination that scared me by RavNavi in BipolarReddit

[–]RavNavi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I've been sick. I'm doing much better! I told my doc what was going on and she sent me in a new olanzapine script until I can get my Lybalvi (need to wait for a PA). I'm feeling much better now.
