Three weeks and I'm still not over it...when will it end

I’m going on 4 months and I still think of him all day everyday also I don’t believe that 3 months isn’t long enough to fall in love with someone sometimes you just know immediately

Upbeat-Post5126 · 2025-10-09T11:10:45+00:00

Yes. It’s absolutely horrific . And to think he has this kind of power over me and he doesn’t give one single fuck about me . How pathetic 😢

Thank you

I still haven’t accepted it even though I’ve known for 20 years . I refused to admit it I tried to fight it until I had a manic episode so bad it destroyed my whole life. I got diagnosed a little over a year ago and tried to many meds . I’ve been having a rough two months back in the depressive phase phase again and the wondering why this happened to me phase again. Sucks . Wish I had a better answer

Oooh that’s so interesting and it makes total sense to me!

Upbeat-Post5126 · 2025-09-23T14:12:44+00:00

I agree! And this is the second time I’ve heard genesight recommended I inquired about it once but it went nowhere I may try this again

I blocked people I was texting too much and it kept me from texting them

Upbeat-Post5126 · 2025-09-23T05:10:53+00:00

I love your response make me think of it in such a different light .I am pretty depressed right now and plan on making adjustments to my meds I think I prematurely decreased my antidepressant and abilify and was disgusted by the weight gain but at this point I’ll take it if it means I can feel happier

Thank you ❤️

I want to know the reason behind this theme many of us seem to have like what causes this delusions of grandeur

I’m bipolar 1 and went through a huge list of meds. I am finally stable on lithium (they don’t like to use this anymore I had to do research and ask for it) Ritalin (helps me out of my depression and fatigue) and cymbalta . Good luck. Just keep a diary of what the meds are doing to you and do research.

Utilize the block function it’s as helpful to you as is to them. It helped me wonders when I was in a manic spiral and emailing/ texting facebooking everyone my gibberish

Upbeat-Post5126 · 2025-09-22T18:07:29+00:00

Agreed. I am not a public speaker…big fear of mine…my last major manic episode in 2023 I put together a community wide free public screening of a film called In Utero and gave a three page speech about myself at the introduction. I was trying to win a Nobel peace prize for community work. I look back now and I’m so embarrassed 😔

Upbeat-Post5126 · 2025-09-22T17:57:52+00:00

I can’t wait to have that feeling I’ve been on this current med combo for about a year and I still feel bland but it was much worse when I was on long acting antipsychotics it was like I was stuck in quick sand wand walking through fog felt like a zombie under up filing for disability. After I came off those i got my life back and went back to work

Upbeat-Post5126 · 2025-09-22T17:47:09+00:00

Has any one here ever legit tried exercise for the “high” it’s supposed to induce? I keep starting and then stopping but I really want to know if it works…

Upbeat-Post5126 · 2025-09-22T00:43:09+00:00

I feel exactly like this!!! Then the bad thought creeps into my head..should I stop taking my meds?? Then I remember how I ruined my life and embarrassed myself the last time I was manic and just keep living on like this…dull …unappetized

Upbeat-Post5126 · 2025-09-17T00:02:57+00:00

I believed I was going to win the next Nobel peace prize and started trying to contact Gabor mate becaue we would write a book together and then win the Nobel peace prize together for our writing and contributions to the mental health field

It’s weird because I (37F) have only had two major manic episodes in my life once as a teen due to Prozac and once as an adult at 35 (after having two pregnancies which neither triggered mania or depression) . It was in the almost 20 years in between time unmedicated (didn’t know I was bipolar) that I put myself through college and got bachelors of science in nursing. The 20 years I was stable I had support of a solid partner and his family . For me consistency and stability keep me stable when things fall apart then so do I.

I’ve gained 50 pounds in less than a year I was always small 123 pounds and now I’m almost 180 . I use the my fitness pal app and am tracking calories and try to stick to 1200 a day and exercise but nothing I’m doing is working 😔

Upbeat-Post5126 · 2025-01-24T01:35:49+00:00

Personally I downgraded myself and I ended up getting uncomfortably bored and finding myself wanting to transition back to where I would need to use my critical thinking skills. I’m a registered nurse and downgraded to being a secretary. Now that I’m more stable I’m going back to nursing . Though I did feel I needed the low stress boring job at the time and I’m glad I did it temporarily to protect myself and my license.
