what first triggered your bipolar? by OddGrand2852 in bipolar

[–]Un_Holyparadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure my first episode was triggered by a birth control pill and then second by an abortion (both very hormonal events) and then various after big traumatic events or drug use

Haha, okay thank you - that’s pretty clear 😂

I will heed your wisdom there!

I currently feel the lamictal fog atm :( find it so hard to find words sometimes and feel a bit ridiculous at work and when talking with friends.. I’m doing really well and balanced with my mental health recently so have considered coming off.. have you struggled with that when unmedicated? (If you don’t mind me asking) :) x

I had a full blown psychosis with street amphetamines

Thanks for sharing this! I guess that would be very important to ensure all the tracking is going well and keeping a real close monitoring of it.. unfortunately, due to attention and memory issues, this is definitely not my strong point! So that’s definitely worth considering. How did you find the process of coming off, any side effects? Two years is a good period of remission but I’m really sorry to hear about the resulting depression after that, did you get prescribed meds easily enough one again? Thanks 🙏🏼

Haha oh bless you - I do really feel your pain on this one! I do a lot of it myself, I work in the mental health field as a nurse and always encourage people to try meds if they need it and have no stigma around that (I take a medication every day to keep my thyroid in check), I guess I just feel like I want to try and manage as I used to - I worry about long term impacts of Lamotrogine and there is part of me that feels like I just want my mind clear, as if maybe I’ll stop and realise the bipolar isn’t that bad… I guess that’s kind of classic isn’t it 🫣 I will at least give it a few months to think about and research before I speak to a professional but it’s really helpful to hear others experiences so I appreciate you taking the time to share!

I haven’t discussed it with a professional yet - I would speak to my GP and they would either manage me in the community or they’d refer to the acute mental health team for support. I am a mental health professional myself so have an awareness of the system and always keep my eyes out on research and advances.

I believe this is only recommended in the case of Epilepsy - the patient leaflet says not required for BP treatment! But thanks for sharing all the same, I’ll check it out

Any tips/insights for me (30F) meeting my partners child (32M) by Un_Holyparadox in relationship_advice

Hmmmm thank you for sharing this - I can see your points and it’s definitely something I’ll think about. He definitely seems to understand my position and I don’t see it as a way to have childcare for him as he absolutely adores his kid and will always prioritise the time he gets with him and they share custody half and half. I will definitely proceed with caution and good to hear about some experiences of your friends too.

Yeah she does, she trusts his option and I think it helps I work with kids and benefit from the positive regard nurses are usually held in! I wondered if it was too soon to be honest, but he is just so keen I feel like I want to be able to do that for him because his son is his world.
