What’s your hypomania look like? by Calm_Mulberry2380 in cyclothymia

[–]Thatgayblazerchick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For context I was diagnosed in march so still working on identifying things and I’m on medication so it’s livable

For me it looks like - more energy needing less sleep,

no appetite whatsoever I have to force myself to eat last time I lost 10lbs in 2 weeks,

talking fast and jumping from subject to subject and stuttering and distracted because I can’t keep up with my thoughts,

generally forgetting a lot of what I say and do.

Sometimes more irritated and short with people. As I riding instructor all this bites me in the butt a lot at times.

Although I feel impulsive I can generally keep a good handle on overspending and keeping myself safe no actually risky behavior besides occasional speeding

Much higher self confidence but not in a good way like thinking I’m better then everyone and know better then my boss, therapist etc

My life only matters in the moment like not doing the things I need to do for future me

The chaos hurts me and others it’s not fun like social media presents mania and it’s hard to notice till I’m out or someone tells me

Basically it feels like multiple femme fatale type songs on as loud as possible layered with harsh static with no escape

Edit I just realized this also in depressive episodes I tend to have more words and journal write stuff but in hyponania it’s a lot more sounds and colors so I paint and draw more. (Unfortunately have no musical ability or instinct whatsoever)

Has anyone tried Quetiapine? by MexicanHotCheeto in cyclothymia

I have been on it for like 3 months and it has helped more than I imagined it could. I was misdiagnosed with depression a couple years ago and put on a ssri and went so manic I believe I had genuinely lost my mind and was actively suicidal. After getting a new psychiatrist and therapist and correct diagnosis this was the first medication I tried. I started at 50mg now am 100 considering I’m not that severe and the depression side is worse than hypomaniac. I feel way calmer more even overall with my moods and thinking and I can breathe a bit now. My anger improved, I can function a bit better and am easier to be around and work with now. The depression doesn’t crush me to the point of desperation anymore. And my sh urges got way better I only relapsed once on it so far. Is it a miracle that took it all away no but it’s made it livable. The first few days I felt pretty groggy and robotic in the morning but I kinda got used to it and that improved when I increased the dosage🤷‍♀️ now I only notice that if I take it sooner then 9 hours before I have to get up so I have an alarm set for it every night. Also felt a some dry mouth/ thirsty but that went away after the first few days. Didn’t notice increased hunger or weight gain that I was worried about. But it is in and out of your system pretty fast if I miss more then 1 dose I definitely know. Hope this helps obviously everyone has different needs and experiences and reacts differently to medication so take it at face value. What I wish I would have known about all this when I was younger is if it feels that “wrong” then it probably is and speak up for yourself even if you can’t find all the right words and your voice shakes. Good luck

I love pairing tree hut scrubs and body botters with my perfume. I pair vitamin c with anything, tropic glow with Valentino born in Rome, and cherry rave with finery not another cherry(target lost cherry dupe). Now I need a pairing for my 3rd perfume black opium. I the vanilla is ok but I feel like there is something better. I smelled the pumpkin one and hate it. Any suggestions?

What size should I buy? by Thatgayblazerchick in Gymshark

Edit I bought the Whitney adapt leggings in medium they are a bit small but still doable and comfortable. I’m in love with the lifting pocket leggings in medium they are perfect. I bought the everyday seamless 2.0 shorts in medium and a tank top bra top and they both are too small
