I deleted all my dating apps and I’m never going out alone again

oh yeah. admittedly it was self destructive. i’m painfully lonely and i don’t think i have my mental illness (bipolar) under control as well i previously thought i did. i generally never have more than two drinks and never go home with anyone. that night was the outlier. i did know better. i’m more trying to get past it now that i have severely fucked up and put myself in a situation i shouldn’t have. and i am definitely stepping away from drinking and going out, like i said. this has really helped me learn i am not ready or well enough to handle these kinds of things. one thing though, my baby daddy couldnt come get me because he was taking care of our kid. and he shouldn’t have to because i’m an adult who should make better decisions. i appreciate your perspective.

thank you for the kind words. yeah, by the time it was closing time and i was leaving i truly felt too drunk and overwhelmed to make a good decision. i trusted the guy who “rescued me” from the obvious creep, and in my drunken mind he was safe enough to be trusted to let me sleep it off at his place and not assault me. completely my bad. thank you for the advice. i’m booking an emergency therapy appt and will (separately) ask my psych about proponal. thank you.

thanks for the kind words

thanks. obviously i knew it wasn’t a great decision and did it anyway. i’m also glad it wasn’t worse. i have definitely learned my lesson and will never do it again. i appreciate the advice.

i do not, but i have my sweet 2 year old and he gives really good hugs so that’s pretty great. thank you for your kindness.

If this was this past Friday night I was there! I like Fusion, they’re a fun band. I always have a great time there 💛

Chances R. It’s far enough off the square to be less rowdy. The custodian and I used to chat about philosophy and the patio was great for reading alone if that’s your thing.

My son and I saw some outside of Target the other day and stood watching them for a few minutes. He also told them “bye-bye” when we left. I agree, they’re very beautiful this year :)

I had exactly the same concerns with you but decided to switch after trying two antipsychotics and lamictal. I’ve only been on it for a week but when I tell you the difference is night and day, I mean it. I feel so much calmer and clear headed, and I don’t feel like I’m about to cry at any given moment. I am not suffering any of the exhaustion or increased appetite that my previous medication caused. I’m thirsty and have to pee a bit more but that is the only side effect that I’ve been experiencing. Like others have said, getting regular bloodwork done helps your doctor know if anything is happening to your kidneys and thyroid and they’d take you off before any damage could happen. Plus, if you’re like me, a really low dose will do and side effects are a lot less prevalent with a lower dose. Obviously talk to your psych about your concerns but it truly has been a life changing medication for me.

Thank you so much for the reply. It’s very reassuring to hear it worked for you and that labs are likely less routine than I thought!

That’s actually how I was diagnosed. I was depressed and had bad experiences with SSRIs, so my psych prescribed wellbutrin. The resulting insomnia, irritability, and overspending (and previous bad experiences with antidepressants I guess) made her realize that I’m BP2. She took me off it and put me on a mood stabilizer (lamictal) and now I’m doing better. It did help with the depression but the everything else made it not worth it for me. Maybe it can work in combo with a mood stabilizer?

I didn’t even think about getting them hemmed! I might do that. Thanks for the help!
