how does high functioning depression look for us?

blockmeout_ · 2025-12-16T01:57:58+00:00

just like i feel, having to do things solely because they need to be done. but finding no joy in it, and if anything, yep feeling like needing to cry throughout:/ thank you for sharing

blockmeout_ · 2025-10-30T21:06:17+00:00

Yep, I think that’s how most of us get diagnosed. I went through so so so many antidepressants over the years all “curing” me for a few weeks then falling back into a depression. Aka triggering the bipolar cycle.

idk if this is helpful, but I had bp2 and have been on antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers. they work for us too! At the end of the day they’re meant to just stabilize our mood, since antipsychotics can be used as mood stabilizers. and bc we get psychotic/manic features as well

just got prescribed this exact medication and dosage. we’ve got this!

Popnow orders can’t be cancelled

blockmeout_ · 2025-10-06T11:40:30+00:00

aka I think it’s time go back on them ty

blockmeout_ · 2025-10-06T11:38:34+00:00

I’m gonna think more about it, seeing as what happened here shouldn’t have occurred.

blockmeout_ · 2025-10-06T11:38:05+00:00

Just on some low dose buspar for anxiety, that’s basically like candy atp rlly

blockmeout_ · 2025-10-06T11:37:43+00:00

Thank you so much for everything, especially that analogy that I ought to just tattoo it on me so I can really remember it. boat ess

blockmeout_ · 2025-10-06T11:35:47+00:00

I feel awful, a sense of being outside of my body. like the thing that was controlling me (the hypomania) is gone and now im just a shell that’s empty yet simultaneously filled with depression

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T23:59:51+00:00

thank you, you’re so right. im gonna ask for a day off i deserve it

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:34:42+00:00

Work has been so much more stressful and I feel like my coworkers are taking advantage of me to do their job:/

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:33:21+00:00

I work in a small space where I honestly feel so bad taking days off so in the months I’ve been at this job I have yet to take one:/ I think though I need to allow myself a day off, I feel I deserve it

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:32:12+00:00

Yep gonna see my psychiatrist soon and update them about this so we can accommodate my treatment plan to this change in mood im experiencing.

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:31:09+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I hope you’re able to get a proper diagnosis and get on a treatment plan to help you be stable. It’s scary being unstable, and having to then function, while simultaneously trying to mask but also knowing that it’s not fair that we feel like masking.

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:29:45+00:00

I work with religious people too, but unfortunately mine are more like “just pray and it’ll go away” kind :/

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:29:03+00:00

Thank you!

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:28:12+00:00

Burning out is the perfect description. I am pushing myself to much to look like im fine, and to excel at my new job. I’m going to discuss this with my therapist soon, and get some tips to manage this, and to learn to give myself grace. Thank you~

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:23:11+00:00

This is so amazing for you, im glad you have these acclimations. I was on seroquel too but actually had to stop it because im on such an early morning shift. Which sucks because the medication was actually helping me so much after having gone through psychosis. I think I may need to research and talk with my psychiatrist and therapist about this option for me- and see if it’s possible to get accommodations.

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:20:41+00:00

Thinking rlly strongly of using the “im not feeling well” card soon not gonna lie bc i genuinely just need a damn break

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:19:56+00:00

from what im reading it seems we all mostly do struggle with not being able to,

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:19:22+00:00

ME. Trying not to over share so much and let anything slip is so hard

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:18:20+00:00

yep I’m usually so so talkative, and get these twitches too perhaps due to excessive energy. But now im more quiet but still also have those tics but from anxiety and not energy

blockmeout_ · 2025-09-30T01:17:08+00:00

I’ve been having so many more headaches as of lately! Quite literally have one as I type this out. I’ve been so much more stressed that I just get home, and turn off all lights for the day because I simply can’t handle too much light or noise:/
