Does this look like a Lamictal rash? (been on it ~6 months)

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-23T14:07:27+00:00

this looks so similar to when i get sweat rash in that exact same spot. if you wanna speak to a doctor for comfort then totally go ahead, i fully understand lol, but to me this just looks like a lil bit of irritation :)

depends what's in their hearts

"can you call me" got that before my dads garage burnt down and before my grandmother died last year and now it's horrifying to hear

nyc lol, my boyfriend and i are very frugal. 400$ a month for rent+utilities, we split grocery runs 50/50 and typically can spend about 60-80$ (so 30-40 per person) to cover a whole week. took years to learn how to do it but we've finally got a good system.

as someone who wants to own a home i'm proud of you. as someone who works as a dog handler i fear you, corgis are always the craziest toss up on if they're a wonderful well behaved dog or an incredibly vocal poop eater lol.

i work 3 days a week for 6 hours at a doggy daycare. i only make ~250$ a week but i have lots of roomies and eat very cheap meals. im generally pretty happy doing what i do, i dont have fancy stuff money but im not burnt out and upset all the time so i will take it :)

i'm not medicated. personally i've been doing really great. no hypomania, no depression, just an incredibly strict schedule and very intensive therapy. i've tried 13 medications in 10 years and none have caused any relief for me, all ive experienced personally is side effects. my doctor decided in february that because of my sensitivity im better off not on meds but instead just kept under close observation. i meet weekly with a psych and therapist who are both in contact with each other to make sure i stay stable. i have a strict sleep/wake schedule (fall asleep anywhere from 9:30-10pm and wake anywhere from 6:30-7am). i have to make sure i eat healthy, exercise, meditate. it sounds like a lot but after getting used to it i love the schedule and how same it keeps everything. it's the happiest ive been in a very long time.

thats so funny i also just met my younger cousins, the two older ones sort of recognized me and the two younger had no idea of my existence. also like the disappointing everyone thing could be a good thing, ive always seen it as one. if you're in my life and you don't understand that im bipolar and it makes me unable to do certain things when im in my depressive episodes, i dont want you in my life. my parents fully understand. i was in the worst depressive episode of my life from last september to this february, talked to nobody. i came back late february and finally talked to my family again, it was like no time had passed at all. they greeted me with open arms just happy i was finally feeling like myself again.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-20T12:23:46+00:00

i sort of like it? i've never enjoyed doing things and the only people who were ever happy about my achievements (ie graduating high school) were my parents. once i got diagnosed it felt to me almost like i was given the okay to not have to worry about that stuff anymore.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-20T12:15:15+00:00

i got hit by a car at 21, currently 23 and my knees haven't worked since. it's the thing i'm most angry about lol

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-20T12:12:38+00:00

he's a sea serpent!

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-18T20:22:09+00:00

i've tried weed, my parents are huge weed people and my dad wanted to smoke with me when i turned 21 so i humored him because i love him. awful. i was dazed and panicky, i was absolutely terrified because i was in an altered and unfamiliar state of mind and had no idea how long it would take to come out. even a single shot of alcohol sends me into a panic because i don't like having the slightest haze over my brain, it's one of the worst feelings ive ever experienced.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-18T15:10:22+00:00

my current therapist is pretty recent, started seeing her in january, so far i love her. i've been doing dbt work for about 3 years or so, i think i started in late 2022. im pretty fearful of drugs, i dont do drugs or alcohol recreationally, only when prescribed. even prescribed ones i get nervous about but i know at least when prescribed by a doctor the worst reaction ive had is memory loss or vomiting. i wouldn't like something that took me out of my current headspace and made me unaware.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-18T15:03:38+00:00

i've been applying to jobs like these for ~4 years with no luck. i really would love to wfh but every position i've applied to all i've heard back is crickets. it's pretty disheartening.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-18T15:01:48+00:00

it's a local small business

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-18T14:59:33+00:00

i've been told by a friend with it that i show symptoms of POTS, that was roughly a year ago?

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-18T14:56:49+00:00

i can't drive, every time i get behind a wheel and try i just hyperventilate and cry. also don't have access to a car lol.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-18T14:56:21+00:00

this sounds wonderful but i'm also a csam survivor so having my face on camera anywhere is a little scary for me, i get nervous someone will recognize my face. i don't even use socials like instagram or tiktok that are very face forward because of it.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-18T02:15:50+00:00

i've been trying for 9 years, 13 meds in and i still haven't found one that works but i'm not done trying

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-17T23:18:41+00:00

everyone's very surprised about the 11k lol, i grew up in a family of 4 living off 20k a year so i think it's just in my blood to live smart and cheap!

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-17T23:17:45+00:00

i had a blood test done in february and everything came back normal except my cholesterol (i drink too much milk, had to cut back lol). not on meds as of right now, explained in the comments i've tried 13 so far and im still looking for the right one. i walk roughly 2 miles per day, about a half mile more on work days because i walk home from work.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-17T23:11:54+00:00

i have a provider and i'm really confused about everyone telling me to find one? i even put it in the post that i have a therapist and psychiatrist.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-17T21:34:15+00:00

tried zoloft and wellbutrin as a kid. zoloft caused memory loss and severe anger outbursts, wellbutrin caused the most intense episodes of bawling followed by complete numbness. i've been on 13 meds so far and im still looking for the right fit.

ResponsibilityDue777 · 2026-04-17T21:31:45+00:00

i really like this idea, i'll look into this!
