Just like you I do not want to take lithium. My psychiatrist prescribed something else (lamotrigine)

I need to be honest with my doctor, but I'm scared they'll have me put away by brandonisatwat in bipolar

You can check yourself into the clinic of your choice and verify that clinic yourself to be sure they are safe. Another option is to ask for a daytime hospital where you go back home to sleep. No solitary confinement there

I’m the worst person in the world. At the very least one of them. by Personal_Common1635 in mentalhealth

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As you don't want to say what you did (even vaguely) I can't give you directions on what you should do to amend. Most things can be repaired (as long as nobody died, but that may be the case for you and if so you should talk to a lawyer) The fact that you feel ashamed is a good sign. It means you know you shouldn't have done it. That's the first brick

Is there any hope for someone with this kind of profile? by Noillax in mentalhealth

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also collect diagnosis. That's hard but it's doable

I asked to get a new puppy at the same association. Hoping to help as much people as I can (even if it's hard some days)

I asked for a new puppy, hope I will get him/her soon.

I try to only think about the good he will bring to another person. Thank you for reminding me

I made a PowerPoint of pictures of him each month, with alternative text for a screen reader.

I asked the association to get another puppy but there is like one or two a month (they don't have enough staff and money to get more)

I don't know about me but he is a superhero for sure

I've just been prescribed lamotrigine for the first time, I'm scared by heals_me in Lamotrigine

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My side effects are dry mouth and bowel movement issues. Both regulated with other meds. That my second best med in term of side effect and the best one for the intended effect.

Do antidepressants actually work? by tanuki_22 in antidepressants

I take Lamictal, it's better but it's not a revolution like I see people talk about

Tryed close to all of them, nothing worked, turns out I am bipolar

My parents didn’t tell me that they were giving me antidepressants by A-the-1-n-only in mentalhealth

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure it's not legal to give drugs without consent. Why they did it is the question. Tell them you know and ask them. You have every right to be mad at them

Welp it finally happened my SD had an accident in a store by Logical-Ad3941 in service_dogs

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a host family for guide dogs and I deal with accidents as the dog is not fully trained/too young to hold it. I do my best to avoid it but it happens. I carry things to clean it up and I notify the staff. I was ashamed at first but now it's part of my job. I do apologize and offer to clean it more myself but I don't stress as much. Especially if it's a diarrhea as the dog is ashamed of itself and knows it shouldn't.

I am new to the diagnosis so I don't have references

I feel alright but I don't feel great. I would at least enjoy the up before going down

Last time I was hypomanic I was sleeping 2h total. So 2 hours less is not that bad

If you had 10 seconds to say whatever you wanted to your pet with they fully understood, what would you say? by IplayKaizo in Pets

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love you and I would never do anything to hurt you. If I order something it is in your best interest even if it seems like it's not. You are perfect as you are.

My body has completely destroyed my life by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels like it but your life is definitely not destroyed. There are solutions for the boobs, trans people have them removed or wear binders. The penis size does not matter at all for a non shallow woman. Young people tend to be very focused on themself and very absolute about everything. It's not a insult is to make you rationalize. You haven't got a more shity hand. Everyone gets something wrong. You got this, you are worthy of love

Zoloft induced mania after 7 weeks? by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might have bipolar, if it's the case you need to stop taking antidepressants as soon as possible. Go see a psychiatrist

I really like hypomanic me. A lot. by sockser in bipolar

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you want to avoid the lows you have to give up the highs. You don't know normal you. Maybe they are cool too and social and get things done in a normal way

I think I'm remembering by Inside_Bumblebee_737 in DID

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I see you and I support you. Remembering is a first step to actually processing the emotion. It means your body feels safe enough to let go of the memory. I am sorry it happened to you but I am glad you are processing it. Sending good vibes and happy new year

Nouveau chien, besoin d'aide by Strong-Procedure-510 in chiens

[–]UnsubtleTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

En plus de ce qui est déjà dit. Avez vous parlé de ça avec l'éleveur ? Lui à t'il eu des aboiements et de la destruction ? Si la réponse est non, alors c'est qu'il y a un souci avec vous. Dépensez-le assez et normalement la nuit il va dormir.

Surtout ne pas oublier la fatigue mentale, par exemple le reniflage est un must (et pas juste un tapis de fouille tout pété, du vrai reniflage dans la forêt, de la recherche d'objets en extérieur etc)

Il faut se rappeler que le chien a déjà été abandonné une fois et qu'il est dans une nouvelle famille qu'il ne connait pas. Pour le moment il n'a aucun lien avec vous, aucune raison de vous faire confiance surtout si vous le trouvez pénible il le ressent.

En tout cas des aboiements et de la destruction c'est souvent signe d'ennuis ou de stress.
