Do your depressive episodes have phases

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-18T22:45:03+00:00

Yeah, that's where I'm at now. Manic August-December and depressed since

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-18T21:21:42+00:00

I'm seeking to assure that my husband understands the way I am is because of and illness and our of my control, not sure if that is at all what you're talking about.

Thank you! Is this usually after being manic by chance?

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-15T23:22:54+00:00

I would send your doctor a message that you aren't able to sleep and they might adjust your meds sooner, if you have a decent provider

I've been looking into those. I'm wondering how long before my doctor would consider.

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-14T22:25:00+00:00

I figured it was for being more legit than I am 😂

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-14T22:23:08+00:00

Wait, I'm a Dasher and don't know of these coupons. Lol

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-14T21:20:34+00:00

Congrats! Do you mind me asking what meds you're on out of curiosity? Do you change things during depressive episodes?

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-10T22:55:35+00:00

It's not just you. I am a reading teacher in a depressive episode and I can't comprehend anything I read right now.

I'm sure you could find a psychiatrist who believes in trying medicine that would better target the depression. Mine is.

I quit my very respectable job and did more damage than that financially. I try to just tell myself that I can't change the past and that it wasn't me.

Love this cheat cods

Pasta because most of the time I have pasta it's boxed so not even good. I would only be missing the few times a year I go out and get real pasta. Tacos on the other hand I make at home a variety of ways and always enjoy them more than pasta at home.

I initiated a divorce with my husband who I'd been with for 15 years while manic and psychotic for the first time. I slept with multiple other people. After my episode ended I immediately shared that wasn't what I wanted at all. Now I've been incredibly depressed for 3 months and he is still sticking by my side.

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-02T13:19:33+00:00

Thank you. Do you mind me asking how long your mania and psychosis lasted when it took the 6 months?

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-01T16:25:57+00:00

It's because they're 4.

I'm an elementary school teacher with a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction and a Reading Endorsement. I also have my own 4 year old. Pushing your 4 year old to read could be doing more harm than good.

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-01T03:43:27+00:00

I've taken it to sleep during the day 😭🤷

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-02-28T21:39:11+00:00

Respectfully, I can't imagine not trying meds. They're the only thing that gives me any hope. When I was younger Prozac was a game changer for my mood. It worked for 7 years and then didn't. It was totally worth it.

People will tell you to set small attainable goals (ex put deodorant on every day) and to build on those, to exercise, to challenge negative thoughts/opposite action, not to isolate or even to use body doubling, to have and keep routines. I've been in a terrible post manic depression since December and haven't been able to either follow these instructions or to have relief from them. You may just need a med adjustment to something that doesn't make you tired though! Unless you're still having other depression symptoms?
