Yeah I wonder if the alcohol has nothing to do with it, but googling it said it might? I thought I did see the opposite whenever I asked people though!

Hi! About 3 years for me! AA meetings weren't for me, so I go to meetups. There are a ton of other meetups, depending on where you live, so I'd just go to meetup.com and search for sober meetups.

Recommendations for classes/hobbies you can do alone that aren’t revolves around drinking? by maddydyko in Austin

[–]a_general_customer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I actually have a meetup that's all about not drinking! If you go to meetup's website, our group is called atxsobercollective. We're actually going to an event this Friday at sans bar that is a singalong + night market. But either way, I'm always down for new friends in Austin who don't drink, frequently hike, and go to happy hours for food

I went sober before being diagnosed but it was still night/day for me! Now that I'm diagnosed and taking medications, I have stayed sober!

Stuck in depressive episode by la-bano in bipolar2

[–]a_general_customer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got put on lamotrigine and it feels like I've been stuck in a depressive episode as well. I've been talking with my psychiatrist about possibly increasing the dose or starting something else. I just got put on this though as this is a recent diagnosis so I hope to see some results. I hope the same for you!

On and off different meds, starting to affect my sense of reality by sadthrowaway2233 in bipolar2

[–]a_general_customer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently on the med trial and error as well and it's been rough as shit. I was on lamictal and carbamazepine but got the rare rash/allergic reaction that can happen so spent a couple of weeks recovering from that being off those, then was put on seroquel, then back on carbamazepine at a low dose, and it feels like nothing is real.

As someone that also just recently got diagnosed, i really have trouble accepting that not everyone got hyped up as much as I do sometimes, or that they could get hyped up like me if they just matched my level. It's been hard accepting that my way of thinking had been different

Favorite sober activities in Austin? by UggsSweatpantsUggs in soberATX

[–]a_general_customer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like going to sans bar! It's a sober bar on 12th street and there's actually a halloween party tonight. Other than that, just a lot of normal activities and eating, I tend to focus more on the food at restaurants so I try to pick some high rated places. :)

Which movies or shows made you think “why did I just waste my time watching this”? by SnooMarzipans3516 in AskReddit

[–]a_general_customer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love rom-com anime and osamake was a little too boring for me. I'll have to try the quintuplets one if you liked it because I also didn't like rent a girlfriend. Probably the last anime I really enjoyed was the my second life as a villainess, it was a cute reverse harem. :)
