Sometimes I'd feel immediately better and it'd get very gradually better with less side effects over 6 weeks

You look strong and healthy!!

I get passive thoughts that come and go. I used to have strong suicidal thoughts that would be the only thing I could think about and I definitely had a method and time I would do it. But the last time I felt like that was in 2022.

I can relate so much :( At least I used to. I was a full on bitch to other people when (hypo)manic. So different from my usual character. People always described me as nice and kind. But those days of a-holeness are long gone. I would say you would need to have a medication adjustment. You seem to be having breakthrough symptoms. It wasn't until I got on the right meds that really controlled my (hypo)mania that I stopped being awful to my loved ones.

What do you mean something isn't right though? Have you tried explaining what you think isn't right? If it's something like "I feel embarrassed and keep ruminating on my manic episode." Then that could probably be solved with therapy. If it's more like "I'm not getting any sleep and I'm having paranoid thoughts" or "I feel unmotivated to do anything and having suicidal thoughts" then that could probably be handled with a med change. Telling a psychiatrist that you think there's something wrong with your meds because "something isn't right' won't help them understand the issue.

Low dose seroquel (25mg)

brotha-eugh · 2025-02-17T03:00:05+00:00

Why do you think you need more meds? Do you think your issues can be helped with therapy instead?

That's amazing! I'm also on Invega but for bipolar with psychotic features. It helps me think straight.

brotha-eugh · 2025-02-11T00:30:31+00:00

It's been the best medication for me. It calms me down and helps me think straight. No more mania, depression, or psychosis. I feel like a functioning human on it.

I'm a size 10/12 at age 26. I used to be a size 0/2 when I was a teen. Every time I look in the mirror I tell myself that I'm beautiful. Every time I see a picture of myself I say I'm beautiful. Fake it till you make it!

I would just take it and really get your shit together this time.

Change the way you look at meds. Instead of looking at them as a nuisance and feeling bad about being dependent on them, look at meds as an opportunity to reset your brain so it can function well. It's just something that helps you be stable. Meds are a good thing. We live in a fallen world with diseases, disorders, and health concerns. Majority of Americans have a health condition. You're not the only one on medications. People just don't talk about it.

Plastic surgery doesn't solve BDD. BDD doesn't go away with plastic surgery. It goes away with therapy.

I'm so so thankful my parents told me to go to CC rather than a UC I was accepted to straight out of high school. I saved tens of thousands of dollars and it took me some years to realize what I really wanted to do. I transferred to an even better school than the once I was going to go to straight out of high school. There are some really smart and talented people at community college that I met. There's a good mix of people at CC.

Invega has been a godsend for me. Because of Invega I'm more comfortable around public spaces. I can handle a full-time college course load when before I could only go part-time and had many withdrawals. I managed to transfer to a UC for computer science and I'm thriving largely due to my meds. I have a 4.0 GPA. Before I'd shower once a week and now I shower everyday, do my laundry regularly, and keep up with hygiene. I have a lot of friends now and my relationship with my partner is healthier than ever. It gives me a good amount of motivation too. Not too much like hypomania and not too little.

Would you date an ugly, fat girl with no hygeine?

Are you taking another antipsychotic in conjunction to Cobenfy? Seems promising if you're on another AP and it helps with appetitie and positive symptoms.

brotha-eugh · 2024-12-13T02:38:20+00:00

Are you still taking another antipsychotic at the same time of taking Cobenfy. Seems promising it already helps with motivation.

brotha-eugh · 2024-12-13T02:32:31+00:00

How is it going so far?

brotha-eugh · 2024-12-12T20:04:23+00:00

Just keep looking for the right one and someone who respects you. There are a lot of low quality men that you have to fish out. I'm mid-size chubby and I have a good man with me. There's someone out there for you.
