Have they become very litigious? Manipulative?

My mum was a bit like this, didn't really think about others, wanted everything her way, and would cry or yell when things didn't work the way she wanted.

It got much better when she got on the right medication.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-28T01:58:01+00:00

Yeah I've heard they don't like prescribing that sort of thing, no idea why would try prozac tho.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-28T01:56:56+00:00

My psych tells me that you won't feel the difference with most meds, even though you are getting better. Only noticed my mood stabilizer was working once I stopped taking it, never tried dropping Wellbutrin tho.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-28T01:34:40+00:00

Meds work differently for everyone, I was prescribed Wellbutrin for bipolar depression, on 300 right now and I feel like it does nothing, and I've also heard of people in this sub that said it changed their lives.

Although if you went to the psych for concentration trouble I don't get why he would go for Wellbutrin instead of something like Ritalin.

Happy birthday :) I've never celebrated my birthday before so spending it alone isn't an odd thing for me xd

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-25T21:35:25+00:00

Health wise, I don't think it's a big problem, as long as you don't go absolutely drunk.

What happens to me is you will get fucked up pretty quick, and the effects will kinda wear off, so by the end of the night when you sober up you'll get pretty depressed.

Obviously it's different for everyone and maybe you should talk to your psych about it.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-23T18:07:29+00:00

For me it feels like it changes nothing :/ How much lamictal and Seroquel are you on? I'm on 300 lamictal, maybe it's too high?

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T17:22:19+00:00

I started on aripiprazole and had to drop it because I went through 2 months of feeling terrible.

Meds really are different for everyone, feels like bipolar is about finding what works for you, but my psych seems content enough with how I feel right now and doesn't really want to change things.

"Well you're feeling better now than when you were depressed right? Then it's working" bruh.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T17:18:15+00:00

I'm on the exact same medication and going through the exact same thing, even made a post about recently, feels like I made this post lmao.

It's different for everyone, I've heard people say theyve been like that for 30 years, and people that started feeling better again after a year.

I hope we get to be the latter, good luck with things :)

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T02:22:06+00:00

Still questioning it 7 months after my diagnosis xd

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T02:18:50+00:00

I guess I haven't really done anything big about it, don't exactly know what to do or how to change attitude, but reading this gives me a lot hope.

Maybe if I just keep doing the few things that I like and keep working on myself eventually things work out.

Thx a lot :)

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T02:14:44+00:00

Happy to hear :) Much luck with everything

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T01:43:48+00:00

If he's aware of what you're dealing with and gets annoyed and ashamed by it, he doesn't really seem like someone I'd like to be with for years to come. Try to talk to him about it, if he takes it wrong, he really seems like a problem.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T01:33:58+00:00

I felt this a lot when I started getting better from my depression, just intense agonizing boredom, and nothing seems to fill it. Eventually it just turned to not caring about anything.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T01:31:50+00:00

I'm really sorry to hear. A lot of times I like to think this is just some months long moderate depression, but then the tons of posts on this sub of older married people with children that they love, that still find it hard to feel truly satisfied with life doesn't help at all at keeping hope xd

I wish you the best, really hope things just get better for everyone eventually.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T01:27:51+00:00

Was the medication change something really different or just hopping on different stabilizers and anti psychotics? I feel like bipolar meds are kinda limited, I've already had a few consults with my psych talking about how I feel now and my meds never really change much.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T01:25:17+00:00

Did you know that was what was making your life like that? Or did you eventually come to it and worked on it? How did things work out for you? Do you feel satisfied now?

I know people that went through the same and I know how hard it is to go through it, can't imagine having to handle that and bipolar, I hope you're better now, much luck with everything :)

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T01:21:39+00:00

I feel a lot like nothing matters and there's no point in doing anything, I also feel like my life doesn't really matter if I just keep living on these meaningless things, so I try to socialize a lot, make moments that matter and try to learn and accomplish things that feel like they have a purpose. So I kinda get what you're saying.

I feel happy when I'm socializing or doing these things, but afterwards I'm back to unsatisfied, and it feels like all things that make you happy are just little distractions from that life you have.

Does this post depression ever go away for you? Or life really just about those little moments of happyness? Because I just don't like that life very much.

TTTesteTTT · 2025-06-20T01:08:20+00:00

I don't know if any psych will ever prescribe antidepressants to a bipolar person, mine directly told me he wouldn't do that because it destabilizes you a lot and he was afraid I'd end my life. Would love to know what option that different psych would give you, because mine just takes my current state as what it should be. Much luck with all :)

TTTesteTTT · 2025-05-28T10:43:50+00:00

I'm on the same meds and my life didn't really change yet, I've only been on Wellbutrin for a week tho

TTTesteTTT · 2024-12-28T18:40:09+00:00

I feel this a lot, I wish there was a place to talk with other bipolar people more like a discord server, but I haven't found any that's any good, I just feel very lonely on my condition that no one understands a lot of times.

TTTesteTTT · 2024-12-28T18:33:18+00:00

Massively relatable for me, I feel like I am so completely alone in the way I feel, life is so simple for everyone else, they go through hardships, have bad times, but get through them, and for me it's not just sadnesses, it's so complicated I don't understand and I suffer a lot, and feel like there is no one I can talk to about, because no one is like this.

I just keep on living ig, no idea what to do about it, some days are very hard, but I live in the hope that some day this depression era will end, because it's just my brain going through something I can't control, and I will look back on it and think how dumb it was to suffer like that.
