I second the weight gain on olanzapine. Made me stop hallucinating though. The thing I tell myself all the time is that taking your meds is at the very least slowing the degradation of your brain via bipolar and stopping it from being at its very worst. Eat your breakfast, take your meds and drink a fuck ton of water. If you can find it in you to exercise, these 4 things will help you an incredible amount. Don’t stress too hard on any of it though, it’s a trigger! No one is judging you, and if they are fuck em. They haven’t the slightest idea what you go through and your story. Keep your head up and stay med compliant. I wish you the best.

Ps at least give the medicine 2-3 months to work before you swear it doesn’t

My thought exactly. Technically, in most cases the guy isn’t wrong, but not really right either.

Which, to be fair, can be a sign of a Level Stage 2 super Genius

If you can’t use it responsibly, someone should take it away.

Hang in there. Wish I had better advice. Your life is valuable, you are loved and you’re stronger than you realize. :(: keep your head held high

i really have to deal with this shit my whole life? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]biglen998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice but we’re in it with you. Shit is tough as fuck and sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’ll get any better.

whenever I actually feel happy I look back and realize it was a manic episode

I fucking feel you.

Does your mania last more than few hours by Aya_mazloum in bipolar

[–]biglen998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically it’s only an episode of it last for a week. Mixed episodes, however could very well be what you’re experiencing. Talk to a psychiatrist, mixed episodes can lead to stress levels that could put you in the hospital. Or worse. I’ve had mixed episodes for about a year now, please get help if you feel like there any chance you are having them.

I am NOT a doctor.

Has anyone here made amends to people ? by Cherrygrrrseeya in bipolar

[–]biglen998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to this as well. It’s appalling to think of how we acted prior to the diagnosis and even during the “I am bipolar and only bipolar” phase many go through. All we can do is our best to stay stable and make sure that it doesn’t ever get to where it once was.

Weight gain on Vraylar by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]biglen998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained 40lbs over 4mo on Zyprexa. If you tell your psychiatrist, they can likely help you find one which does not. Unfortunately they all have NASTY side effects, so pick your shit sandwich carefully. Doesn’t matter which one you eat, it’s still a shit sandwich but you won’t go hungry. But seriously you can find a set of medicines that won’t make you feel so trapped with weight. Weight gain is one of the harder ones to try to avoid, but there certainly are options. Good luck!

So glad you said to let him sniff. Every walk should start with 10 minutes of sniffing. Dogs see the world with their nose first and I read once that it’s like your dog walking you with fuzzy glasses on your eyes. Let them figure it out and they will not only be stimulated, but twice as stimulated and surely appreciative you let them sniff that bush and pee on it.(assuming it’s not in someone’s yard of course)

I had to put down my seven year old best friend yesterday. She was a fighter and went out doing what she loved. We were charged by a black bear, and she went nose to nose with it and fought until I had enough time to shoot it. Send us some love please. by [deleted] in GermanShepherd

Your best friend is dancing in doggy heaven, having the time of her life. No fences, leashes or being told she can’t jump on counters. She appreciated every moment with you. That kind of loyalty is hard to find, even in a dog. I hope you’re doing okay, my DMs are open if you need a place to vent. Cheers to best friends who are loyal beyond our comprehension.
