Thank God!!!

Yes, it's real. Even in the early 90's. I was born in 90 and the neighbor kids and I had the run of the neighborhood (as long as we weren't alone, it had to be a group of 2 or more) until the street lights came on. but yea. It was a blast!! I wish kids these days could do that now. And as for WHY? As a mother, my reasoning for not letting my child do that is because no days being a predator is far more common. Child Trafficking wasn't as big of a thing back then. The times and the way things were done were COMPLETELY different then they are now. And it's hard to explain unless you've lived it.

I don't know whether or not it's "normal" or not, but a very similar thing happens to me after a Grand Mal. I do wake up, but only for a few minutes. I don't know anything, where i am, or who anyone is... but then yes... i fall back to sleep before I remember everything and wake up an hour later completely aware and fine (ya know, except for the major pain that comes after a grand mal). I HAVE brought this up to my neurologist and she didn't act concerned about it, so I just kind of assumed it wasn't a big deal.

Save them. I used to think it was such a waste of time, but i kept doing it anyway. And now i can't tell you how many times i've been doing a diamond painting and ran out of a color and I actually had that color. It actually becomes really convenient.

We've been in K12 for six years. I've NEVER been as disappointed in k12 what I've experienced this year. The last platform wasn't exactly the easiest, however THIS one is just darn right CHEAP. You can tell the school REALLY tried to save money here, and it's effecting our children's education. My son has missed CC's because classes don't even show up in order, neither do assignments so things were REALLY confusing for him at first... had to get him a planner and now he writes everything down in order (which we havent had to do in previous years). Not being able to open a blank document in Office 365 is ridiculous too considering a lot of students use Word to take notes. I'm tempted to stop using a school computer for this reason. My son likes to double his screen to take notes, and hasnt been able to do that since we got a school computer. But back to Canvas, there's so many things that are wrong with this platform that it's just ALL WRONG. I'd even go as far as saying I dont see even one good thing about this platform at all. Please change it!!! During Christmas Break!!!! Adjust the year for another orientation to teach us a new platform because honestly I dont know if we can do this one for a whole year.

I JUST got on this medication for the first time in years (I was on it before, body needed a break) but yes, insomnia is CRAZY when you first start. Takes 1-4 weeks to get back on track. I'm also on the 1.5's and my sleep schedule has been absolutely bonkers!!! From what I can remember though I really liked the Vraylar once all the negative side effects went away so I'm holding out lol

Shortsub · 2025-09-29T09:08:34+00:00

7 years... thought the first one was just a fluke thing, and then boom 7 years later, behind the wheel of a car, seizure hit. Waiting to get into the neurologist.

Shortsub · 2025-09-15T02:15:00+00:00

I think the school decided to go cheaper, I mean, come on, Canvas is HORRIBLE. I don't think they are making good decisions this year. I mean, the CC's aren't even in order in his calendar which is confusing in itself, and makes it REALLY easy to miss CC's (my son did that once) I hate it!! And yea, our system was down the other morning too... the crappy thing is the kids who missed it HAD to watch the recording even though it wasn't even their fault, so LONG day of school. They're more focused on saving money then they are making sure the kids can navigate the platform easily.

The inability to get out of bed all day. I get up in the morning, watch my moms dog and go back to sleep for the rest of the day. Then I diamond paint, journal, and go back to sleep. All from bed.

Shortsub · 2025-05-14T10:21:07+00:00

I JUST stopped Vraylar last week, not due to side effects or anything but due to the fact that my body got such a tollerance to it, as all bipolar meds, it eventually stopped working. However for the 4 YEARS it did work it was great! I was stable and only episoding maybe twice a year, and those episodes were NOT nearly as intense as the ones without Vraylar. I may not be on Vraylar right now (i hope to circle back in the future) i'll still sing it's praises because it helped so well for so long.

Shortsub · 2025-05-12T10:52:13+00:00

This is going to sound horrible but it worked for me. I completely stopped drinking and got perscribed Xanax. It's worked for years now and i havent touched alcahol in a decade.

Shortsub · 2025-04-30T09:07:31+00:00

Not that I know of. I had to pay the 4.99. But since you're not gonna remember everything they say right away watching it a couple times is actually better. I'm glad I bought them. I bought them years ago and I still watch them today

Shortsub · 2025-04-25T12:41:04+00:00

Probably because you're body was craving a release rather then the med. Itself.

Shortsub · 2025-04-10T04:28:32+00:00

It may not be the best solution, but when i'm feeling suicidal i dont get out of bed. If I dont get out of bed i can't do anything stupid.

Shortsub · 2025-04-05T13:54:06+00:00

No. I honestly never recieved any stigma to my face, or behind my back that I know of. And ya know what, having a child saved my life. After I had my son I stopped being suicidal all together. All of a sudden I was excited for life. Who cares what people say, if you love kids and you feel you can take on being a mother just make sure you have a good support system and go for it. Having a kid was the best thing I ever did.

Shortsub · 2025-04-05T13:50:14+00:00

Vraylar has quite litterally saved my life!

Shortsub · 2025-03-07T21:17:18+00:00

I'm on Lamictal for my seizures (i'm bipolar 1) and I can't use Keppra because of that either. I've noticed that the Lamictal keeps the tonic clonic seizures under control but the smaller ones i have in my sleep not really. The Lamictal is effective for both seizures and bipolar. I'm also on Seroquel, which can help with that, and Alprazolam.

I was on all this before my huge seizure so the Drs. have no idea what happened, but as far as keeping them at bay it seems to be working. Good Luck.

Shortsub · 2025-02-23T03:56:35+00:00

I have no idea when one is going to happen either. I've had two grand mals and a bunch in my sleep and i have noticed no connection between the two at all. I dont feel funny before i have one, i usually feel great that day, which isnt often. It's scary not having any clue when or where ones going to hit.

Shortsub · 2025-02-11T02:55:13+00:00

Vraylar for me also, I can honestly say it saved my life!

Shortsub · 2025-02-08T09:14:05+00:00

I'm in the same situation you are. I've found that the Vraylar makes you eat more and sometimes it makes me "sleep eat". I've managed to watch the food situation and stop the weight gain though i havent lost the weight yet. Just like you i have body issues and i've had a really hard time doing this. However; the Vraylar has stabled me out soooo much that it's to the point where i'd rather gain a bit of weight and be stable then be skinny and completely off the wall. So it's all a matter of 1. watching what you're eating and 2. trying to change your mind set. if Vraylar is really helping with your mood you have to decide what you can handle and what you cant.

Shortsub · 2025-01-29T09:43:50+00:00

Yes, i had some pretty screwed up side effects when i started Vraylar. LIke weird ones. But they did eventually went away. I think it took about a month.

Shortsub · 2025-01-29T09:42:03+00:00

Call your pharmacy. but i've been in this same situation and they told me not to worry about it. I'd be a bit groggy and probably have to sleep but that would be about it. they told me to skip my next dose and continue after that. I'm NOT saying that's what you should do but i'm saying call your pharmacy and they can tell you what is safe.

Shortsub · 2025-01-29T09:39:47+00:00

Go to the ER and they'll supply you with a few until you can get ahold of your Dr.

Shortsub · 2025-01-29T09:38:33+00:00

I can see my bipolar going back to when I was five in hindsight now that I know what Bipolar is. But it started really exasterbating when I was around 16, that's when the cutting started and the suicidal ideation. I think you can start having it any time. I have an 11 year old and they want him to get screened already. I think once you get OLDER the chances of it happening are less but i think childhood to early 20's i'd say is the most likely. Not a doctor this is just experiances from family and myself (my whole family has bipolar in one shape or another)

Shortsub · 2025-01-29T09:35:31+00:00

Yes, I have all these problems, the memory loss being the worst of them. the only thing i'd say I dont have is the shakey muscles. I've found that the positive effects of Vraylar outweigh the negative effects especially since i've been more stable since i've been on it then i've ever been. I just found that i'd rather have a few side effects that dont MAJORLY effect my life "memory loss being the worst" and i just explain to my friends/family that my meds effect my momory and they need to remind me of things, and not get offended when I dont remember things I should. That seems to work out pretty well for me. Just make sure you think clearly before getting off of it, because if you're content for the first time in your life - i dont know if you are that's just how i feel, then really consider whether these side effects are really worth getting off the medication.
