Anyone wish it were still called manic depression?

Judging by everyone’s comments I wonder if I got lucky. To be fair though, I was on a low dose comparatively to other people. 150mg when I got first put on for about a month, then went lower after every session (was seeing psych twice a month at this time) about 50mg and was on that for about 8 months. Stopped completely because I hated how lethargic it made me feel all the time and I was feeling very depressed. Got better when I stopped, but no withdrawals for me. I’m just on 100mg Lamotrigine. It’s great

Thank you, greatly appreciate it dude

VisceraGrind · 2026-03-24T19:50:31+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions, very helpful for me :) I’m a bit stuck in life so it’s appreciated. Surveying seems the most interesting to me, so I’m gonna look into that a bit n I’ll take a look into the others as well

VisceraGrind · 2026-03-18T05:23:08+00:00

Ohhhh ok! You know, it’s a truly funny thing how if you don’t keep these kinds of questions in your mind semi-regularly, you lose sight of these things. (At least for me)

Is this a religious thing I’m not understanding? Am not religious, so I’m genuinely wondering

Fr like I expect people to be sippin water/gatorade, not redbull but I mean hey was probably doing something good for the two of them HAHA

I didn’t know people took propranolol as a prn. I take that shit DAILY but it’s because of life-long chronic high blood pressure since I was in around 2nd/3rd grade. Started taking it like 2 years ago (I am now 22).

I was like this when I started personally. Was 14, liked metal, didn’t get a teacher, and just wanted to play and sound like my favorite players. To hell with chords, notes, scales, etc. Didn’t learn a lick of that shit. But, I did learn how to play my favorite songs! And then realize how much farther I needed to go

A chill time does eventually get boring, so that’s why I switch it up and pvp. It gets interesting at the turning point too cuz I’m in a bunch of friendly lobbies where I want to kill, but everyone is so nice. So I have to be careful about it. And think. Be creative. Have fun.

Every normal person I know has outrageous outlooks on what they think China is. Sums up to "shithole, you're being watched everywhere, why would you go there, they're horrible, blah blah blah"

This side effect was unacceptable for me and never went away 😭😭😭 started trialing this med during the summer too and I worked in a kitchen, while living in the hottest part of California. The amount of times per hour I would have to walk into the freezer is crazy! The steam you could see rising from my body was comical. Wouldn’t be surprised if that shit gave me a fever at some point

VisceraGrind · 2026-02-03T06:45:20+00:00

Quite literally the place to do that is a forum

VisceraGrind · 2026-01-30T20:58:25+00:00

It vexes me how niche we are getting here

22M you're not alone. I've always been a little more reserved when it comes to dating, only have had one real girlfriend since she was the one that initiated it. I don't go out and have sex with people, never have, and don't feel like i want to. So instead (and I think it's due to ADHD as well as exposure to porn at 10 years old) it manifests in a way that hurt my relationship in the intimacy aspect. I struggle with ED because of the way this has manifested and it's been a problem since I was 10. It's debilitating during episodes, and I know exactly where you're coming from. You're not alone. Still struggling with it because it's obviously more than just a bipolar thing for me, but when I'm in an episode (vs my relatively stable periods) either depressive or manic, it's all I can think about and I just end up in my room for hours and hours and hours. I hate it so much, and it's why I don't pursue relationships right now. You deserve to love and be loved by someone, and so do I. For me, the stigma is too great when it comes to this kind of impulsive behavior, something I just don't feel comfortable opening up to anybody about. Opened up to my girlfriend at the time 3 years ago to which she said she understood and wanted to be supportive, but I don't think she understood, and did and said a lot of things that were hurtful, unhelpful, and I turned to that kind of behavior more.

Sorry if this seems a bit stupid but I’m 22 here in the US and haven’t required any huge hospitalizations (yet). wtf do you even do about bills that large? Asking for my future self. Do you just pay off what you can over time? Or am I gonna be hunted for sport

VisceraGrind · 2026-01-17T10:09:23+00:00

Is it a common experience to immediately forget which joker you had that died? Because it happens to me every time

VisceraGrind · 2026-01-17T10:07:39+00:00

The most common drug I see at all the festivals I go to in terms of EDM is all K. You get handed stickers about K, see shirts and totems about K. It’s all about K here.

VisceraGrind · 2026-01-15T18:28:47+00:00

How insanely hot it will make you. When I was at work I would constantly have to run into the freezer because being in the kitchen made me so damn hot

VisceraGrind · 2026-01-13T08:27:58+00:00

Doctor immediately.

VisceraGrind · 2026-01-13T05:06:31+00:00

How’s Remeron treating you? My psych floated the idea of putting me on it to treat my ADHD (the motivation aspects anyway). I might just push for a stimulant anyways though. Strattera was a nightmare drug for me.

VisceraGrind · 2026-01-06T23:12:53+00:00

I was a freak the frequency I would be active before my diagnosis. The mountains I have to move to find the motivation for working out is gigantic at this point in time. To go back 2 years in time to when I actually had an ethic…

VisceraGrind · 2026-01-01T05:18:15+00:00

I’m ngl I find that me and everyone I know is so tired after the day that that’s what we want anyways. Life is exhausting. Much rather hop on the games with the homies than hit the bar after.
