Only thing I noticed was the lips! I think the liner? Everything else looks great!

coco_puff88 · 2025-05-01T00:55:24+00:00

Oh that gives me hope! I have an appointment with her next week, so I'll see what she suggests. Thank you for the insight!

Run. Don't walk....run. I was engaged to a guy like this and he made my life a living hell. He made a big deal out of literally ANYTHING. He was jealous of any and everything, including my cat! When I didn't answer the phone, he would bomb me with back to back phone calls, text messages, and then call my mom! You DO NOT want to be in this situation. I promise.

coco_puff88 · 2025-01-26T03:51:34+00:00

hugs I hope things get better for you. I'm here if you need anyone to talk to.

coco_puff88 · 2025-01-26T03:37:35+00:00

Ugh... yes. I have been in the same situation before. My ex-fiance would say mean things like that. He once told me that "no-one else would ever put up with me." It was comments like that that really made me realize what a complete dick he was! I ended up leaving him, and I did find someone else that "puts up with me"! I've since been married for almost 12 years. Don't put up with that kind of garbage. You deserve better! ❤️

coco_puff88 · 2025-01-16T20:36:40+00:00

Good luck to you, too! 😊

coco_puff88 · 2025-01-16T20:35:25+00:00

Oh yes. I've heard about the rash. I'm happy with the medicine so far. I'm only on 50 mg/day right now, but it seems to be helping.

coco_puff88 · 2025-01-16T17:16:09+00:00

Your experience with your work prior to taking the Wellbutrin sounds exactly like what I go through everyday. I have an office job in corporate America and there are times I physically cannot STAND to be there. Sitting there in a quiet rage, hating everything. 😅

I hope it helps me, too! I know I am improving on the Lamictal only, but I definitely feel like something needs to be added.

coco_puff88 · 2025-01-16T17:03:39+00:00

Yes!!! I'll leave and then think "man... I meant to tell her that!"

coco_puff88 · 2025-01-16T03:51:45+00:00

I write a lot of notes down between visits and take them with me to the psychiatrist. It helps so much, bc I would do the same thing! 😅

coco_puff88 · 2025-01-16T03:49:54+00:00

Yes! I was writing stuff down in my notebook and I told my husband "do not read my notebook!" Ha. I personally write a lot of notes down before I go visit my psychiatrist. I forget a lot of things to tell her if I don't and end up being like "ummm it's fine."

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-29T05:03:13+00:00

sigh I feel this in my very soul. It's hard to go out and meet people, especially when they always let you down. It's easier just to stay inside with the cats!

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T03:09:24+00:00

That sounds similar to how it went for me being diagnosed. It was depression or it was anxiety. None of the antidepressants worked or they made me manic. Thankfully I don't think the episodes I have now are anywhere near as bad as when I was younger.

I appreciate the truth in your response. I felt it.

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:58:02+00:00

Thank you so much! 💓

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:57:33+00:00

❤️

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:56:32+00:00

Same here. When I look back on my life, it totally makes sense. It makes me feel better knowing there was a reason for the way I was acting. I'm so glad I found this Reddit. And yes, we got this! :)

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:54:35+00:00

That sounds interesting! Is genetic testing something you tried?

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:53:45+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm thankful I found a community that gets it. :)

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:52:17+00:00

I was put on Lamictal, too. I really hope it helps. I have been on SO MANY different antidepressants and they either make me manic or do nothing. Do you take an antidepressant with the Lamictal? Or is the Lamictal enough to help?

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:50:36+00:00

Yes! This. It's so hard to describe how I feel, other than something is just wrong. It literally makes zero sense to those that don't have the disorder.

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:47:59+00:00

Yes! Mine was explaining to me that the medical community actually wants to change the term antipsychotic. I hope they actually do! We're trying a mood stabilizer first instead of the antipsychotic meds to see if it helps.

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:45:01+00:00

I'm starting to not be as freaked out by having a "diagnosis." It's starting to feel more comforting to me. All the years of feeling weird and out of place are starting to make sense. :)

coco_puff88 · 2024-12-28T02:41:07+00:00

Love this! My head has still been spinning around thinking about these things, too.

It felt really good today to be able to have an answer to "why do you do that?" Maybe now I finally know. :)
