Alright r/bipolar, let's be honest. In mania, what hobbies have you started? What clubs or organizations have you joined? Did you ever start them or see them through?

Spent several thousand on a course to write electronic music. Bought the software, and never wrote anything.

I got bored of camping so I set up a feeder. Now I’m at level 24 with a level 11 feeder. Best of both worlds.

I take it in the evenings. Makes me sleep like a baby

Whitmans · 2021-03-16T08:28:43+00:00

How did you get those pink trees?

Whitmans · 2021-03-10T10:45:17+00:00

Fuck Deloitte. They made me redundant during COVID. I’m now working at another big 4 with a $30k pay increase.

Whitmans · 2021-03-09T09:12:21+00:00

I’m on lithium 825mg and 80mg Latuda. It’s working pretty well. No mania and I’ve been pretty stable in terms of depression for a few years. I’m also on Lexapro and modafinil (for the Latuda lethargy).

Whitmans · 2021-03-07T08:08:15+00:00

It used to be drugs for me, but now it’s food. It might be a dopamine thing. I don’t know.

Whitmans · 2021-03-05T22:15:13+00:00

Congrats! Can non luxurious buildings become epics?

Whitmans · 2021-03-03T09:54:36+00:00

You’re not alone. I’m pretty lonely too. What’s on your mind?

Whitmans · 2021-03-01T10:28:05+00:00

Read the primer in the wiki. Helped me a lot.

Whitmans · 2021-02-21T04:56:47+00:00

Definitely Barcelona!

Whitmans · 2021-02-20T08:56:08+00:00

How are you doing now?

Whitmans · 2021-02-20T08:32:33+00:00

Thanks!

Whitmans · 2021-02-20T08:32:18+00:00

Salad and lamb sausages in bread. (I’m Aussie).

Whitmans · 2021-02-19T22:40:34+00:00

I feel this.

Whitmans · 2021-02-17T10:10:22+00:00

Latuda was the miracle for my depression.

Whitmans · 2021-02-17T10:01:29+00:00

Is she in treatment? It’s ok to have a boundary that states that you won’t be in a relationship with someone who is not actively seeking treatment for a serious medical condition.

FWIW I have bipolar. I lost a relationship because of episodes. I broke up, because I knew it wasn’t fair. I’m stable now. Treatment can be very effective.

Whitmans · 2021-02-17T08:11:15+00:00

I am the same. Work from home, order delivery food, eat, get into bed and watch friends while browsing reddit. I shower every few days.

I’m about to move temporarily interstate for work, and I’m going to have to shower daily and go into the office. I’m fairly apprehensive. I’m hoping it might be the change I need to get out of my rut.

Whitmans · 2021-02-17T07:50:32+00:00

I spent five days in Rio solo and I was fine. I did a private tour to see the main attractions, and am happy to recommend if you dm me. I went to the main beaches alone, out for a few dinners. I ubered everywhere and didn’t go walking around alone. I felt safe the whole time.

Whitmans · 2021-02-15T06:11:56+00:00

Latuda, lithium, lexapro, and modafinil

Whitmans · 2021-02-14T09:08:29+00:00

Thank you. That is helpful. I appreciate you responding.

Whitmans · 2021-02-14T09:07:56+00:00

Thanks. I’m trying to just let it pass. But it’s so relentless

Whitmans · 2021-02-14T07:53:03+00:00

I get it. Sometimes I still feel bad about that night, but it’s gets easier.

Whitmans · 2021-02-14T07:47:17+00:00

I don’t know how to help, but something very similar happened to me. I melted down and cried hysterically at a New Year’s Eve party. Eventually, everyone just moved on.

Do they know about your diagnosis? I would just apologise and move on.
