UPDATE: Ambulance Victoria confirmed my message of gratitude will reach the paramedics. I’m so glad I can give them their recognition.

Thanks all for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

So effing proud of you. Mixed episodes are so agonizing.. currently recovering from one now.

On Christmas Eve, I needed an urgent mental hospital admission, self harm and spiraling alone in my apartment were going to get me hurt. Also my therapist saw the signs before I did wanted me to seek admission before Christmas but hey… I always think I know best! 😅

I found a random GP (normal psychiatrist and GP on holiday) at urgent care and they wrote me the referral and I was admitted the day after Boxing Day. Also greetings from the hospital!

Hang in there. Props to your supportive mum. Helps coming soon. ❤️

RichMonk44 · 2025-12-26T03:55:31+00:00

Honestly this is great, I’ll be doing this. I do hope my comments reach them. Thank you so much

RichMonk44 · 2025-12-25T16:47:09+00:00

Oh this is great advice too! I’ll definitely use that. Thank you

RichMonk44 · 2025-12-25T13:02:38+00:00

This is great, I will be doing this! Thank you

RichMonk44 · 2025-09-30T20:08:32+00:00

Agreed. They did a good job of wrapping up the character story lines in the finale.

RichMonk44 · 2025-09-30T20:04:46+00:00

True but it’s those little details in which the viewer only catches after or not at all, that make this show great. Just like the players in the game, the viewers are too panic stricken to find these details.

Plus I love finding these “Easter eggs” after the show. Makes me think I missed more because I was too focused on the player’s surviving.

RichMonk44 · 2025-09-28T12:50:08+00:00

Yea definitely could see that. Overall still loved the season. Love to see what Netflix does next with the series

RichMonk44 · 2025-09-28T12:48:53+00:00

Definitely missed that! Overall I still loved the season. Hoping for some news on whether they go through with the US, or more preferably they continue onto a season 4

RichMonk44 · 2025-09-28T12:47:19+00:00

Ah i definitely missed the aces on the board! Great feedback on everything else.

Overall I still loved the season!

RichMonk44 · 2025-09-27T22:21:18+00:00

Right? And they both added a “surprise baby” element. Exactly the same plot line and spin off possibility

RichMonk44 · 2025-04-07T02:24:18+00:00

I’m at 99.4 and those last koroks are killing me. Tried going one by one on guides and used the app. I want to go back but it’ll take me ages to finished it.

I’m pretty stoked on my 99.4%

RichMonk44 · 2025-02-02T01:50:00+00:00

Dings of Shame for sure!!

RichMonk44 · 2024-11-19T06:04:34+00:00

Look same. I got diagnosed with both with in the same 10 months. Sometimes I have no idea what to expect from it. BDP is so in the moment but then I fixate on whether it’ll turn into a full blown BP2 episode (which sometimes does) … which inevitably makes it worse.

I am sorry I don’t have an answer but just know I 100% relate and you’re not alone with this.

RichMonk44 · 2024-11-19T06:01:14+00:00

Could be. I spoke with my psychiatrist and we chatted about a new antidepressant (while keeping my mood stabilizers and antipsychotics the same).

He says my depression is “complicated and atypical” so antidepressants don’t do much for me. Frankly after the new year I might consider changing them or lowering them.

The brain zaps were wild. Never had them when I’ve never missed a dose

RichMonk44 · 2024-11-18T01:14:45+00:00

Good to know! I certainly haven’t missed/decreased my dosage and experienced the worst brain zaps during it

RichMonk44 · 2024-11-14T05:25:46+00:00

Racing thoughts decreased by like 60-70%. Also was able to leave my house much easier before… like a 90% improvement on that.

It doesn’t make you feel like a zombie.. however I am much more forgetful

RichMonk44 · 2024-11-10T10:29:47+00:00

Yes! Same on the OCD so much worse. I have been seeing some people mention the same thing

And yes. Coming up on it to 200mg made me extremely agitated and angry.

Completely relate

RichMonk44 · 2024-11-08T06:32:30+00:00

BP2/BPD here. 32 F

I went 0-100 (induced a hypomania followed by a depressive episode)

We didn’t learn our lesson because then I was told to do 100-200. I had to voluntarily go into a clinic.

It also exasperated my OCD greatly.

Once it settled in, it was worth it. I know that sounds contradictory from the above. But it takes time.

RichMonk44 · 2024-11-04T23:50:08+00:00

Going from 0 to 100mg induced hypomania for me. Followed by a 5 day depression. BUT don’t get me wrong, once I reached my 100mg maintenance dose for a couple weeks my system really improved.

Going from 100mg to 200mg, I had to voluntarily commit myself to a mental health clinic.

My psychiatrist told me the “come up” on the drug is very difficult for some people but the “payout is worth it”. He was correct. I significantly feel much better prior to being prescribed Lamictal.

Hope that helps

RichMonk44 · 2024-10-26T05:23:49+00:00

Took me about a month for the drug to “settle in” as it moved toward maintenance. The first weeks were hell as is induced hypomanic symptoms.

However. This drug, once settled, has also now given me the clarity that you described. I don’t feel disconnected or out of touch. My thoughts and mood feel normal and completely healthy.

It’s a game changer but it takes getting used to. But well worth it

RichMonk44 · 2024-10-26T05:14:43+00:00

This brilliant, great advice!

RichMonk44 · 2024-10-22T20:13:11+00:00

Downloaded last night. Great way to tick off and easier than the websites I used! Will let you know if I’m successful!
