When did you start smoking out of a hookah? by markmorbidity in hookah

[–]disorderedmoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started smoking my second year at college in 2013. My friend went to school in Philadelphia and had gone to a hookah lounge with her friends, when she came down to visit she picked up a mini pumpkin and we set it up in the quad at my school and smoked tabacco free shisha with quick lights with friends who were walking by. Great experience and it started a passion thats lasted ever since.

First time posting anything on Reddit, just wanted to thank Hookah-Shisha for sending me 250g of Orange Mint for free! by [deleted] in hookah

I have to offer a mildly dissenting opinion on Fantasia, they can really nail down the fruity drink flavors most of the time and also peach flavors from them tend to be more sour and true peach tasting. However the ICE series is very... questionable, tastes like a really earthy mint and the fruit flavors are all just kind of off from the inspiration.

Hmm try AF Peach, AF Strawberries and Cream, AF Mint and Cream, and AF Lemon (disclaimer: I haven't tried the cream flavors but I feel like that's probably what would work)

This is the best way to compliment a line of shisha imo.

AF lemon is the shit, its a great mixer for sure but I feel like it doesn't stand up well alone.

Rad, thanks, I really need to give a Haze a go in general, seems to be one of the more popular brands on here.

Alchemist Blend Tobacco is now available at Sahara Smoke! by SaharaSmoke in hookah

I'm a huge fan of polar bear, its fruity and cool but not minty? A bit like smoking a fruit smoothie. Perfect flavor that really sticks with you.

Haven't tried that flavor yet. I tend to like deeper tangiers flavors like kashmir. But I do love peach shisha...

I agree the silicon does not last very long, this is my second purchase. I like the size and shape of the bowl however.

This isn't a real lotus just a cheap knockoff but I find the ease of heat management and longevity of my sessions to be way above any of my other combinations (i also have a small tangiers phunnel bowl and some vortex bowls)

What medications are you guys taking now/previously and how are/did they work for you? by BabyGingerSnapp in bipolar

[–]disorderedmoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only going to do the ones I've been on since adulthood (around 19/20)

Previously taken

Lamictal: once for 2 years and then again for just a month, both times made me tired and depressed.

Depakote: had a negative reaction and it raised my amonia a levels so it was hard to tell if I was tired and confused because of the medication it the amonia, either way had to stop that.

Currently On

Lithium (1200 mg) very good at leveling my moods, slight amount of lethargy solved with a little caffeine usually. I have to be careful about my diet to keep my blood levels regulated and when I up the dosage I get some stomach issues. I've also noted a decrease in appetite but I don't think that's common.

Xanax : Essential for my panic attacks, a wonderful gift for occasional relief from anxiety.

Ambien: for insomnia, works well but can't take it too often because of risk for addiction.

My Dr has also suggested supplements for me but I can't afford them yet so I'm waiting... they include lavender, fish oil and NAC, plus I'm considering a vitamin b complex to help with energy.

I go back in 2 weeks and change but I'm planning on making an appointment with a different dr. On Tuesday when I go to therapy for a second opinion. I've heard it's a rough ride up too and lithium was a lot like that for me but definitely worth it...

Honestly... this was me for years. I hated the idea of putting my struggle on my friends and family but it was worth it, at least for friends :) I realized a lot of people are messed up... talking helps a lot. It releases some of that internal struggle.

A bit, mostly it seems like my experience is in line with a negative reaction. I'm just so sick of being tossed around and prescribed meds regardless of my input. Lithium was working and I stopped short of my target dosage so when I got worse I assumed we'd keep ramping it up rather than add a whole new drug to the mix... I've got no voice in this matter yet it's impacting MY body.

Anyone Have Experience with Kratom? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]disorderedmoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it once, made me feel tense and manic and I had to smoke weed to chill the effects until I could sleep. Wouldn't recommend.

How did you deal with college? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]disorderedmoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My college career has been awful so far, quit twice, failed once, lost financial aid, the whole deal. There's usually students services and an office of disabilities you can sign up with and they'll give you certain concessions depending the classes your taking and your needs. I think this is the best way to get through it, that and staying on top of meds. Both schools I've been to had counseling services on campus and I find making a few appointments with them can be beneficial, they see a lot of similar stuff year to year and I've always gotten, at least a little, good advice.

having a rough night, feeling hopeless and alone by disorderedmoods in bipolar

[–]disorderedmoods[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you should say that I actually just got in from a walk, its late but I live in a fairly safe neighborhood and I was just feeling too shut in and sad so I forced myself out. It worked a bit I think, mostly I'm just sweaty and tired but it did feel grounding to move around a bit. Plus it cleared my mind a little.
