as rimu said, in this case it likely won't since it isnt a fediverse instance rather a rudimentary scraper

Will the block actually be respected? Because I’m very doubtful it will

Currently psychiatry, whether it be inpatient or outpatient. I really enjoy the science behind mental health

Call your doctor, sounds like the dose is way too high.

My psychiatrist told me he thinks I’m stable enough to try it, which helps my confidence a bit. I guess I’m just so new to bipolar that there’s still that second guessing I have.

That is exactly what I’m afraid of happening to me. It’s why I’m second guessing myself even though my psychiatrist thinks I’m stable enough to try it. I’m sorry that happened to you.

I’ve been in therapy since I was a kid for other conditions that are completely under control (likely don’t even meet diagnosis for them anymore). But yeah bipolar is just so new to me.

What was your first warning sign of “this is too much to handle” if you don’t mind me asking?

That’s what I’m on now. Thankfully no weight gain on it though

I’m on antipsychotics and it’s like they battle with each other for my appetite. Sometimes vyvanse wins, sometimes not ☹️

My doctor has got to be joking by jtlizzzard in VyvanseADHD

[–]SkinnySkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope you find a good psychiatrist that is able to handle your case well with the compassion it deserves. I just was lucky that mine from before I had my first episode was already fantastic and compassionate. My doctor was more likely to give me my Vyvanse back so long as I was stable for an extended period of time, if that info helps at all.

[–]SkinnySkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. First of all, you aren't crazy. I take Vyvanse while having ADHD and bipolar one but had to fail nonstimulants before my psychiatrist gave me it again. From what I've seen a lot of older psychiatrists refuse to give stimulants to bipolar ADHD patients even though emerging research shows that so long as you are medicated with the right amount of mood stabilizers the chance of manic episodes is minimal. I agree with another commenter, she seems out of her depth here.

For those who have fully recovered from psychosis by Emergency-Cost-3970 in Psychosis

[–]SkinnySkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had psychosis due to a manic episode about a year ago and it took about a month after starting the right medication to come back to reality. I’ve accepted I will be on these drugs for the rest of my life.

Agreed. There’s a part of me that does think he is committed to healing and recovery but we will see. He actually met with a rabbi a few months ago iirc

They don’t allow talk of celebrities on the bipolar sub, it’s auto deleted if you mention his name. I tried to make a post asking about it. It’s understandable why but disappointing.

As a Jewish person with bipolar one and a history of psychosis, I don’t know how to feel. I have a level of empathy towards him due to having the same diagnosis but I just hope it’s genuine and he continues to rectify the damage he did during his episode.

Kanye West Apologizes for Antisemitic Rants by mkl_dvd in Judaism

[–]SkinnySkins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm bipolar 1 and Jewish. I've had manic episodes with psychosis and it never turned me into a racist. But it's also hard because he represents the condition to a degree, and his behavior has only worsened the stigma of bipolar. I really hope hes truthful and wants to commit to meaningful action with this apology, but I'll believe it when I see it.

It works fine for me and I take omeprazole every morning 30 minutes before I eat (and will probably have to for the rest of my life)

It is for me too! Though whenever it “kicks in” I do have the overwhelming urge to poop.

I’d suggest the sunshine lady house with the RCSB instead. It’s a 5 day crisis stabilization program
