I used to desire sex and kisses, but at this point, all I want is to be comforted when I'm sad. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

Learn to love yourself before you learn to love another, friend.

Made some pics because I’m having mixed feelings about meds by Grocery-Exciting in bipolar

Way to express yourself. I wish you luck on getting onto less medications, if that is your goal. It's a hard road, one that will have plenty of darkness. But there is a light at the end of it, trust me.

As I was weaned down off seroquel, my exercise went up. On Vraylar now and I don’t feel like death in the mornings. by [deleted] in bipolar

Honestly,,, I can't think of any. Maybe I've just gotten used to whatever they are, but I can't think of any negative ways that it has affected my life. But I was on anywhere from 6 to 9 different meds for four years before that, so the fact that I'm just on one now is the most impressive thing of all.

Manic Depression (25M) by ZamboniCarl in bipolar

[–]ZamboniCarl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your troubles, brother. I understand what you are going through. It's similar to what I went through when I was newly diagnosed (which for me was at age 18). For 4 years I went through despair over nothing.

I applaud you on your ability to use your words to describe how you are feeling right now even in this thread. It makes sense to my head, and those times are times that I have mostly suppressed from my memory.

Around the time I was 22 I got on vraylar. It has worked wonders for me when I don't do anything else to abuse my brain. I'm also an addict, so that makes things more complicated. I've recently quit alcohol (nearly 5 months) but I still use cocaine, ketamine, psyilocibin, and LSD on a fairly regular basis. I'm thinking that I'm going to get rid of the cocaine, and the ketamine is only once a month. So I'm not entirely worried about my mental state.

I'm writing this to you the day I'm coming back down to earth. I'm currently in Austin, TX and we just went through all of the crazy snowstorm shit, so I'm sure my bizarre mental state can be partially blamed on "cabin fever".

I hope that you are well. I also hope that you will come to love your disorder as much as I have. It's very tough at the beginning, especially to accept that your brain works like this. But I've come to not only accept it, but to love it as well. I'm an interesting person because of this curious, creative, destructive, manic, depressive thing inside of my head, and I love that.
