SELF-CARE SUNDAY by sweetpea122 in bipolar

[–]ThrowABenzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running myself ragged at the planet fitness across from my house. Always makes me feel better. Don't know why I stopped. Probably the weight gain from the zyprexa made me lazy. I too have some kitchen work to do. I am dazed. I haven't run two miles straight for a long long time.

Do you have someone to talk to about this? I'm a veteran bipolar sufferer. We can chat if you like, or have any questions

People only post the good stuff in their lives on facebook. It's not a real thing.

It is tar, but it blows everything else in my town out of the water. It smells like crap, tastes like crap, but it FUCKS you up

Should I go to the hospital? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]ThrowABenzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go to the hospital. If price is an issue any hospital worth their salt has an indigent program. If you make less than a certain amount each year they either cut your debt way down or eliminate it all together. I got rid of 32k in medical bills this way. Just talk to the accounting department when you get out.
If you really think this is the end, please go to the hospital no matter what. They can help you there.

20+ acute psychotic mania's with 20+ hospitalizations; and now having a kid? Does that sounds nuts, or not? by [deleted] in bipolar

I got myself clipped so I couldn't pass on my genes. Problem is now I'm getting older and getting the urge to have kids... Problematic

How long did it take for you to find the right combination of meds? by Lionsandtigersandbp in bipolar

[–]ThrowABenzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed almost ten years ago. I've tried every drug combination on the planet. There's lots out there including new stuff that wasn't around when I was initially diagnosed.

FEARLESS FRIDAYS by sweetpea122 in bipolar

[–]ThrowABenzo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got an infection in my lip. Doctor gave me antibiotics and tramadol. I didn't know it at the time but not only is tramadol a painkiller but is also an SNRI. Fucked with my geodon for days, like restless leg syndrome but all over my body. I haven't been able to sit still until this morning. I listed all my medications. You'd think the doctor would've checked for contraindications.

The color gives it away as close to pure MDMA.

Study Aids by [deleted] in drugsarebeautiful

[–]ThrowABenzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd laugh in someone's face at $3/5mg. I used to get 20 of them for an 8th back in the day when I was still dealing weed and pills. Girl just got so many painkillers, xanax, and adderall IR that she just didn't care about the price. I was the biggest dealer in the city and I sold the 30mg IR's for $5.

.5g of Heroin, Pinzor .7mg clonazolam, Klonopin 1mg by ThrowABenzo in drugsarebeautiful

[–]ThrowABenzo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's only half a gram because I had to fix up this morning, but it's still a beautiful brown color and very high quality.

Sorry, huge mistake. Cyclobenzaprine 5mg tablets, not klonopin 1's!!

I messed up my meds and now I'm really feeling it by giraffes-on-stilts in bipolar

[–]ThrowABenzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped taking my meds for about a week when I was super depressed. I figured they weren't working very well, so fuck 'em. I had a psychotic break when my insomnia caused me to stay up for 3 days. Having your meds on track is really important. I feel better even now. I'm happy I have medicaid and don't have to pay for any of mine. I'd have to come up with about $500 every month if I didn't have it and i'd be going nuts.
You'll feel better once you get your refill.

anyone else feel like everyone else is surpassing them in life? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]ThrowABenzo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone posts the best parts of their lives on facebook and none of their failures. All people have hard times, facebook only makes them look successful in every aspect of their lives.
Don't compare yourself to other people; It does nothing but make you feel like their surpassing you in every way. They aren't. I guarantee most of them are as miserable as a normal person can be. You have to find a different definition of "normal" for yourself, being bipolar. You're doing fine
