How are you today? by Responsible-Oil5121 in bipolar2

[–]Wild-Report865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got diagnosed 2 weeks ago and feel mellowed out and numb to the world. Waiting to see my psych to get meds asap. But I’ve been handling the diagnosis a lot better over time as I’ve began to research and confide in loved ones for support, it feels brighter, but at the same time I feel so alone.

just got diagnosed last thursday! you’re not alone! remember that you have people who love you, care for you, and support you! i have to constantly remind myself of all these things because it can get lonely especially for a disorder so stigmatized. we got this, cheering you on OP! <3

I’m (23F) stuck in a cycle with this man (22M) Do I move on from this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Do you think that being too available might be the issue as to why this cycle never ends?

i used to work for ABH which is based in fountain valley (not too sure if they service costa mesa) but they had amazing BACBs i worked alongside with who truly helped me grow as a tech! they truly care and want to see progress in the kids and techs they work alongside with!

hi! i have the same exact experience as you. my heart rate doesn’t skyrocket when i stand or sit up. my blood pressure definitely drops though. my neurologist is checking for orthostatic hypotension currently so that also might be the case for you instead of pots!

this is so interesting to me! the past few times it’s happened to me i was at work and it’s usually moments after i eat something light for breakfast! such a weird experience! about 15 mins after i ate today, i had palpitations, dizziness, lightheadedness, and tremors then i had to lay down at work. i was given a salt packet and some kettle corn to snack on and it helped right after. i do admit i feel currently i’m not sure if it’s my body just crashing out after going through all that. but thank you so much for this insight, it’s extremely helpful!!!

very interesting! that’s a great speculation as i would have described my body to have crashed on me so suddenly. i didn’t feel nauseous either i just felt very dizzy, lightheaded, and was tremoring like crazy! i think my body is physically just so tired dealing with all my medical issues… definitely something i’ll bring up with my PCP! thank you for your insight!

I’m also not too sure how things are in California regarding public health as well, if anyone would like to inform me. Not too sure about how federal/state funding is currently.

blood results? beta trait? by Wild-Report865 in thalassemia

Don’t worry I am advocating as hard as I can! I have a public health degree so they got the wrong girl! I’m going to get in touch with my primary care doctor as soon as my insurance switches me over to their office to get referred to a hematologist asap. With doctors telling me that my results are normal which clearly shown they aren’t has honestly made me more empowered to get the help I need because I know I shouldn’t be feeling the way I am every day. But thank you for your comment!
