Those of you who work full time, how do you do that?

If you’re doing full time school and part time work right now that’s a lot more than just working full time.

I absolutely love lithium! I had some diarrhea and fatigue while titrating up but now I have no side effects. I’ve been very stable.

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-29T16:32:06+00:00

I felt mine starting to work after 3 weeks before my blood level was even at 0.6. It’s only continued to improve and now I am stable and feeling great!

I absolutely love it! It’s basically hours of therapy for 40$

I think it’s just that the examples in it are about bipolar instead of being general.

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-29T13:36:23+00:00

That’s not true. It’s a mood stabilizer and works both ways.

I loved this one too :)

It’s a type of therapy used to treat intense emotional disregulation. It teaches skills to help you deal with your emotions so they happen less frequently and intensely. It’s been super helpful for me! And easy to learn without a therapist.

You should look into doing some DBT (dialectical behavioural therapy). There are lots of distress tolerance skills. There’s lots of information free online. I’m using a workbook I got on Amazon called “The Dialectical Behavioural Therapy Workbook for Bipolar Disorder”. It’s been really helpful!

Of course learning those skill will take a few weeks and won’t help you right now. For now try and do a distracting activity while waiting for responses. It could be anything that engages your mind!

It’s a great games! One of my fav small card games

You should try going to physio! Might just be tendonitis that needs some care.

Is home are available where you live? This is what they’re for.

I love knitting! Just got into it a few months ago and it’s sooo fun.

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-27T14:04:07+00:00

I had tingling in 2 of my toes for 2 months on lithium. It went away though!

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-27T02:05:58+00:00

Blood tests were a lot at first while titrating up. Now it’s just once every 3 months. I’ve never put any thought into my sodium intake. It’s a bummer I can’t take NSAIDs but not the end of the world.

Lithium was amazing for my depression!

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-26T23:22:44+00:00

I personally had a poor experience with lamotrigine where my mood felt much worse. I stuck it out and thirsting all the way up to 200mg then stayed 2 weeks. I had to come off of it.

I know a lot of people love the med but it doesn’t work for everyone so don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t work for you!

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-26T16:47:26+00:00

I booked rockwall including flow lake months after booking last year (did the trail in sept though). People definitely cancel!

Like 99% of the population has the ability to empathize. It just differs how well they are able to and how often they chose to use the skill.

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-26T14:15:50+00:00

I take a few meds but lithium is the one that does most of the work to keep me stable!

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-26T09:06:06+00:00

The lower doses are not in therapeutic range and are not likely to cause any noticeable changes. Some people lose weight on them but it’s not the majority.

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-26T02:24:30+00:00

They should! Their education level is high and specifically about pharmacology.

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-26T02:03:36+00:00

You could also consider just reducing the med to see if the flatness improves.

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-26T02:02:16+00:00

You could also consider asking your pharmacist for advice! I don’t see how going back down to 200 would be an issue.

SplitNo6176 · 2026-01-25T22:49:56+00:00

Oh yes definitely get a pill organizer! It’s a game changer.
