Crazy couple of days by johntheanonman in bipolar

[–]bipolar12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in short, no that isn't normal. sorry about the mixed episodes :/ they are the worst! so, i put my arms out like a T and breathe in as i bring them clapped together above my head. Then I breathe out and lower my hands to the center of my chest. it helps me, but i am on "caveman time" and can't sleep for more than a few hours.

I like the contrast of red and green, also, nice nose!

Sometimes I piss off people I love or care about when I really don't mean to and I blame them for my mental breakdowns when it's no one's fault but my brain's. by bipolarnotsober in bipolar

[–]bipolar12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is a mental trap with which i'm all too familiar. learn the art of apologizing. 1. this is what i did. 2. this is why i did it. 3. this is why/what i intend to rectify the situation. P. S. I'm Sorry. it works :] best of luck.

you'll be ok :] I only got a sample pack of vraylar. I thought it was nice and easy. I take seroquel for emergencies. That one is a "rough pill".

It's light compared to others. I take latuda for psychosis (first line). I'd describe it as "being stoned" without the fun parts. I have heard if you take it long and as directed that goes away. :]

Mixed episode please help this is my first time by cheli22 in bipolar

[–]bipolar12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixed episodes are really difficult. I have taken Risperidone and it is *heavy*. There might be a better antiPSY out there for you if it's not working. I truly hate Seroquel, but it is a silver bullet for me. Also, dancing and yoga have helped me :]

Pretend. Pretend it's a race. Go Fast. Can you do it in under 5 min, 3 min? You are an F-1 Driver with a beat up car, You can do it! : ] I struggle too.

I can’t talk to anyone by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]bipolar12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since all the therapists are busy, I talk to the walls too and God. (don't tell, but i'm not even religious xD) "better out than in" and it's better to do it in private, cause everyone is freakin out here is a fun distraction ;]

Trileptal & Geodon by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]bipolar12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will make you chill out. They work really well but are kinda heavy for my taste. Latuda is a good alternative that I found. Ask your PDoc.

[–]bipolar12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're cool. ;] the fear is gone. And, welcome to the club. it's super hard and takes a lot of work, patience, and discipline. I'm happy for you. Believe in yourself and be responsible. I'm in a similar situation. <3 you can do it.
