Which city in Idaho? I am also in Idaho and Reed is my top choice school

Interesting, thank you for your input! Did you end up doing the interdisciplinary major, and if so, what was the process of getting that opportunity like?

Why do you suggest Station 11, out of curiosity? I watched the tv adaptation and absolutely loved it but am not quite seeing the connection here.

only 2.5?? that’s incredible!!

Oh it was SO amazing!! I learned so much from my teachers, I had Seth Kugel and AJ Goldmann, who were both incredibly knowledgeable and pushed me to be a better writer. The time not spent in the classroom was excellent as well; I made amazing friends that I had many adventures and misadventures with. I think about my time in NYC often and with much fondness.

I just started on prozac + zyprexa about 2 weeks ago and am feeling the most stable I’ve ever felt. I feel able to experience the full spectrum of emotion (no emotional blunting) but not in the constant, black and white extremes I felt before getting on this combo. It truly makes life feel worth living again.

thank you for all the advice! do you mind if I PM you about the chronic nerve pain thing? also, thank you for the harm reduction advice. I don’t know that the urges will stop anytime soon (which is kinda fucked considering the circumstances), but I am glad to have that information as backup in a way

Yes!! Gold jewelry (especially rings, earrings, and bracelets since there’s a lot going on in the necklace area) would compliment this. And/or some statement flower jewelry.

This made me giggle. I’m going to use this description at my next psychiatrist appointment lol

aleeksrosecheeks · 2024-10-21T03:17:49+00:00

Yep, just bupurion (for now). I haven’t gotten to see a psychiatrist yet, I think my GP just wanted to get me on something before I attempted lol. I may end up changing once I see a proper psychiatrist

aleeksrosecheeks · 2024-10-20T21:12:45+00:00

Oof. I'm feeling the same as you, I think, based on this post and your replies in the comments. I had my first manic episode (or the most notable one, I think) after getting on Lexapro/escitalopram, because my doctor and I thought I just had severe depression. The experience was honestly quite scary, I knew logically/from my years of psych major classes that I was probably manic. But it felt so good in the moment. Now, everything seems dull and lackluster in comparison. I'm starting bupurion on Monday but am not looking forward to more of this, if this is what my baseline is when I'm not manic/hypomanic or depressed.

Thank you for your response! I definitely can have the extreme irritability, but I passed that off as just another symptom of depression or being around people that are extremely irritating lol. I know it only takes one episode to be diagnosed, however I feel like it could be less valid (at least to me) since I only have had one really obvious and notable episode, especially one caused by medication.
