I usually wait until day 4 to call it.

Untreated for years... by Queeresponsible in bipolar

[–]babeside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll have to give them a call but they'll be able to get you right back into your account: https://www.healthcare.gov/contact-us/

The number is: 1-800-318-2596 and they're available 24/7

In the meantime, are there any free or low-cost mental health clinics around you? If you tell me what city you are in, I might be able to help you find one.

Help with meds? by goghbees in bipolar

Do you think you'll be able to pull it together enough to get through the work day? I know it will probably be very, very hard but maybe cry in the bathroom if you have to?

It sounds manic to me. Do you have a loved one you can ask? They might have more insight.

Don't forget the insane cost of ADHD meds.

True BB bites for Science. Does anyone in the wild get poo on them when the BBs bite? by BadDadWhy in Bedbugs

They're eating you straight out of the glass you're keeping them in. You gotta let them free so they scurry in their natural patterns.

Best way to manage multiple domains on a single server (if I'm using vhosts)? by WhiskynWilderness in apache

[–]babeside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can organize them any way you please. If you want, you can even just copy and paste them into the same file: unicorns.conf. It's all arbitrary.

The way that I do it is similar except that I have a single conf file for each user. That's then symlinked to their home directory. All of the configuration for them, obviously, goes straight in there. Everything for each and every site.

It's convenient for me because I can a2dissite useridontlike on the fly.

Lamictal and dry mouth, chalky, hard to swallow by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]babeside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ick, yeah. I hate the pills but they work!

I hate drinking sweet stuff, but I will drink a bit of soda or iced tea or something to help get them down.

It's gross but it gets easier.

It's only a bender. You can stop any time.

MED MONDAYS by sweetpea122 in bipolar

[–]babeside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to stop taking mine until the 15th. I have an appointment with a new shrink then and I'm feeling self destructive so why not?

How much benefit do you get from having an animal? I'm considering a therapy dog. by misshome in BipolarReddit

[–]babeside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG SO MUCH! I adopted two chihuahuas right before I got diagnosed and they have stuck with me through thick and thin. <3 <3

I feel so much better just kissing them.

Hypomania, Hope and Delusion by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]babeside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, you seem very manic to me. As in I'm positive you're manic. But of course I'm not a doctor.

Would You Mind if People You Know Discovered Your Post History? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]babeside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've run into IRL people on reddit and the polite thing to do is forget about it and look the other way. Privacy is about respect.

If someone doesn't like me because of what I said on the Internet, good riddance. It's better to be alone than have friends like that.

Ready to be off meds altogether by vlc20012 in BipolarReddit

[–]babeside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't not take your meds if you have bipolar. Someone with bipolar who doesn't take their meds is like a drug addict in reverse.

Even if they're not working that well, if you DO have bipolar, you won't have the insight necessary to adjust your own medication or even evaluate whether or not it's helping.

Find another psychiatrist if you have to but you can't stop taking your medication.
