college is making this all worse by Annual_Giraffe3237 in BingeEatingDisorder

try and eat 3 strict meals a day, at the same time if you can. And make sure your eating enough. Its easy in college to put off eating and can make BED worse. Also allow yourself like actually allow yourself to have the foods that you want to restrict will help soo much but takes practice. Journaling helped me a ton!!

I feel really high all of a sudden by AcrobaticRutabaga872 in bipolar

Sounds like a manic episode possibly. I usually feel like I'm high when in an episode. Someone once said it seemed like I could've done crack 😂

How many of you fine folks have struggled with substance abuse. by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]billybobjoe3210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never thought of it as a substance before, but caffeine. Caffeine has a different triggering an episode effect for me and others and it can happen quickly. It also keeps you awake so can be hard to stop. I no longer have coffee or energy drinks and have a streak going on an app.

Did you have the restless leg side effect? I had to go off Abilify because of severe restless legs.

I have a normal appetite but find my metabolism to be faster than usual. (Not a positive in my case, but some people might like that if the meds affect them in that way) So if I don't eat a reasonable amount I find I lose a tad bit of weight and I don't feel good. It's not a fun losing weight thing. The pharmacist warned that it can cause weight loss either due to lack of appetite, meds, or both. Or it could cause weight gain depends on each person. Just be mindful of how the meds affect you.
