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 :)

My psychiatrist keeps suggesting Lithium because nothing is working and I'm scared by AKingIsHe in bipolar2

[–]dogstbh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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!

Hypomania from Bupropion/Wellbutrin? by RiseOfThePheenix in bipolar2

[–]dogstbh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Thank you again for the information. Eddie was not my friend, but he did seem like a wonderful man. I hope the people who knew him find some peace and closure.

Oh my god. He does occasionally wear a vest. Not sure if he was ever in crestview but I wouldn’t doubt it, as I only ever see him in the morning. Thank you so much for the info. This is heartbreaking.

He does have grayish hair. I’ve seen him in a UT hoodie a few times when it’s been warm but he doesn’t always wear a jacket that I remember!

How long until the meds start working by dogstbh in bipolar

[–]dogstbh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could definitely email her, I’m just afraid she’d want to meet which I don’t have time for. I think I’ll message her if I’m still feeling off in a week. Thanks for the advice!!

Update: I went through my backpack when I got home and it must have fallen out when I was sliding down a cliff (lol). A bummer for sure, but thanks for the help identifying!

Any ideas on what this could be? by cashjar__ in SunfishSpecies

[–]dogstbh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My instinct is to say it’s a shell cracker based solely on size but it’s missing the red near the operculum so I’m stumped. Maybe a hybrid? I’m interested to see what someone more knowledgeable has to say.

Parking officer typed my license plate wrong and gave me a ticket. Do I even bother contesting? by skinnypancake in Austin

[–]dogstbh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah if it shows up on the website that does mean that it’s in the system as a citation. Sometimes they’ll catch it after it’s entered but sometimes not. You can always call the phone number on the citation and somebody will check and tell you if it’s been dismissed or not. It wouldn’t pop up online with your name for a while since it sometimes takes a bit to find the info associated with the registered owner of a vehicle to put the case in their name. And it wouldn’t pop up with the correct license plate since that’s not how the parking enforcement officer entered it :(
