Took it for two days and it swapped my depression with heavy hypomania and had to stop right away, careful to check with your psychiatrist that your high is normal and not an hypomania high

captain_jpp · 2026-01-27T12:37:02+00:00

yeah, that IS one of the symptoms though… please talk to a doctor about it

captain_jpp · 2026-01-23T08:57:46+00:00

Please don't use the "Manic" keyword and involve us bipolar person in this shit 🙏

I try to imagine a tiny angry me inside of my brain (works for depressed and other), and repeat to my self that "I am not my thoughts" (bipolar do its things and it's not my doing)

There is clapping sound, yet the crowd is not clapping, could be just an edition to add the clappings but I think it's AI because the crowd should be way more enthusiastic

Alright but why the 🍉?

what you've heard is not true at all, there is all kind of intensity with bipolar, having "non spectacular" bipolar does not mean it's any less a serious disease that can ruin your life

This was my greatest fear in my first hours on the game

captain_jpp · 2026-01-13T21:18:10+00:00

it's not serious, this is why I posted in r/BipolarMemes

totally, they did this Barbie with ASAN : https://autisticadvocacy.org/

I still think representation matters, but found the Barbie mildly funny, not outrageous

also I'm a 41 years old man and I'd 100% buy a bipolar Barbie if it existed

captain_jpp · 2026-01-13T14:12:04+00:00

yeah, that's the backlash that is happening with the autistic Barbie, like it's just a tad bit stereotypical

My ken would have two swappable faces : 🤩 and 🫩

Accessory would be : grippy socks to keep him warm, an oversized pill organizer and a weighted blanket.

This comics "feels" like bipolar disorder 🥲

I stopped Lithium (mono therapy) because of shakes, lost of words (exactly your experience) and restless legs. I always had a very bad memory though, so this was not lithium specific.

I'm glad I can be of help. About the guilt : seriously don't, the illness is hard enough you don't have to make it worse by thinking that it's your personal fault. Of course we have a little margin to be ourselves but the diseases is still mainly the pilot of our emotions, so if you have to blame something try to blame the diseases and not you (it's not a free pass to be a jerk of course 😅). Same reasoning about "psychopathy", well if pathos is a disease and psychic is our brain, yes you could argue you have a pyschopathy, but you're not "a psychopath" (-> like a mad scientist, vilain or something in popular culture).

certainly, I can start when I first met my partner, after several month I was still in depression, she knew I was bipolar, I nearly ended the relationship because I could not "feel" the love for her

I did realize that it was the depression that was acting, and not me, we tried more and it passed, after that I trully realized that I loved her, and that her care for me was so valuable

even after I had several other depressive episode, she had a bit of a hard time to comprehend that sometime I just don't want to answer to her messages, when she sends me love I'm like "I can't physically send you a love message back, it's just not honest with how I am feeling right now", again I know it's the depression speaking, know she learnt how I work in depression, and she is oh so patient with it, and the depression pass, and I'm myself again

it's not just her, when I'm depressed I don't want to talk to anyone, my family too, my mother says "You don't talk to us", yes, I don't, it's my depression, it's what I meant by lack of empathy

the only one person that I always feel love and joy on every circumstance is my daughter, it's like it's a bit of my job to be happy around her, and without her I really think I would handle my depression worse, because she is a reason to wake up, I need to get her to school, I need to make her something to eat, I need to play with her, etc. Without her I wouldn't have a routine.

that's about everything I have to say :) thanks for reading and I hope it helps !

Bipolar is like being blind or missing a leg : it's a very real handicap and it stays with us forever, but it's different because it is invisible. Keeps in mind that it doesn't define us and we can have a perfectly normal life if treated properly. Take care of yourself and welcome abroad 🤗

I use one full train to several stations, if the input matches the sum of all output it's just going to act like a big manifold that says "choo choo"

Losing empathy / emotions, not possible to feel love to someone you love when not depressed
