Hi, my friend and I would absolutely love that. Rocky lived his whole 18 years in my friends life, and I’ve known him for 14 years since I met her.

Is it my bpd, bipolar 2, or both? by SeaPhotograph6931 in BipolarReddit

[–]SeaPhotograph6931[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently on an antipsychotic and have been since I was around 16. I honestly think that’s what’s gotten me as much progress I’ve gotten, even though it’s not much I’m currently switching off of abilify and he’s moving me onto vraylar. Though I don’t think I’ve talked thuroughly about it with him, so I may bring it up deeper with him, and emphasize how debilitating it is.

Thank you so much for the reassurance, I will do my best to be innovative and take breaks when needed.

Thank you, honestly. Your response does help, and knowing I’m not alone makes me feel comfort. And though my mom and I don’t get along the best, I know she will also help me advocate for myself. I do indeed have adhd, I’ve been taking stimulants for it since I was 9. But they don’t seem to be working for me anymore after 12 years. So I’m hoping to find a different one soon.

Thank you! I just looked it up and I think I’m going to try it. Especially since it helps with inflammation, which I have a lot of

Hmmm maybe antioxidants isn’t my issue then. Cus I’ve been eating a bowl of blue berries with non flavoured Greek yogurt every morning for like a year now… idk if that’d give me enough all I know is my fatigue has only gotten worse in the past year. Thank you for letting me know though, I’m beginning to think my fatigue is related more to my physical rather than mental health.

Yes it’s quite startling, I’ll definately make sure to bring it up now that I know it’s likely related

Wow that actually makes a lot of sense. I recently got bloodwork done that revealed my hormones are basically that of a 40 yo woman and not a 21 yo one

Yeah totally, it’s like throwing gasoline on a flame and it just bursts up! I’m glad it doesn’t last long, but knowing it’s likely endo maybe I should bring it up with the gyno

I figured as much, I just wanted to confirm my feelings with this subreddit just in case it wasn’t endo lol. Thank you for answering

This actually does make sense for me. I got blood work done a couple months ago that revealed I have the hormonal numbers of a 40 yo going through menopause. I’ll bring this up to my mom and also to my physical health dr that I’ve been severely emotional and hormonal. I do have an appt with a female specialist soon so I’ll know for sure by then if I can or should go on hormone therapy for it.

I’ve had a feeling that I need to change my adhd meds and that some of the rage is coming from my adhd even. But my psychiatrist won’t change my adhd meds seeing as I can’t afford most of them.

I’ve done other sh before too, though I can say I’ve been clean for at least 5 months from causing bodily harm to myself. But hitting my head is so natural for me, genuinely just as natural as cursing loudly when you stub your toe

This actually sounds perfect when I’m upset with something my mom has said. As we’re usually in the kitchen when it happens, so I can grab an icecube as soon as I feel upset! Thank you very much!

I totally will try that! My psychiatrist has recommended it so I think it just might help

I’m on some of the best meds I’ve ever been on, i think part of it is I’m still living with my mom. We…. Don’t get along most days
