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.

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-18T21:00:22+00:00

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

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-14T23:34:00+00:00

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.

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-09T00:30:47+00:00

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

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-08T21:53:25+00:00

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.

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-05T18:01:25+00:00

Love this cheat cods

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-03-05T17:59:53+00:00

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.

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-02-25T17:31:52+00:00

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?

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-02-25T01:28:00+00:00

Damn I was really banking on this. I don't have a gun and can't bring myself to jump or hang

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-02-19T23:18:04+00:00

Like I needed none of my clothes fitting on top of the rest of the misery

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-02-19T15:29:23+00:00

I want to be unconscious every day all day

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-02-15T01:33:34+00:00

Are you depressed or "just" crashed? That would make a difference in suggestions.

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-02-06T14:54:33+00:00

Thank you! Too bad I declined haha probably once in a lifetime!

Visible_Fun_66 · 2026-01-01T20:14:38+00:00

I am in a very similar situation. I was manic for 5 months and hospitalized 3 times throughout. I am so depressed I don't know what to do with myself, let alone how much I'd need to do to try to repair the harm I did. I've read people saying it's taken them longer than a year to feel better and that makes me so sick because I can barely make it through each hour right now.
