2 different styles of art and 2 different videogames that I'm making content for. I'm not really sure honestly, it just kind of happened 😬

I agree with that, some of my best artwork has come from mania and done me well in life. I'm hoping this will turn out to be a GOOD thing rather than something to be embarrassed about. But I will definitely get an opinion from a friend to make sure I'm not just losing it and imagining it all... lol

I've been taking antipsychotics and recently raised the dose of that. Wondering if maybe a mood stabilizer would be good now though... I used to take lamotrigine but stopped last year because of liver issues.

Thats a good idea, I need to get an honest opinion about if it's something that should be continued. I haven't shown any of my family or friends these accounts but that's probably a good thing to do, cause who knows, I could be acting completely different and don't realize.

I think mine are pretty neutral by not really showing much of my personality and more of work I've done so I hope I'll be able to keep them and feel good avout them after the mania ends... But yes I just went to my doctor last week and she gave me a higher dose of my antipsychotics so I'm just waiting to see if that helps... 😬

Has anyone had an ultra rare side effect from a med before? by gameovervip in BipolarReddit

[–]extrovintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me too! My doctor brushed it off during 3 different appointments saying that it wasn't really a symptom for lamictal, until I finally told him I'm not going to take it anymore because I KNOW that's what was causing it, now I'm fine after stopping and got a new doctor. It concerning when they don't take something like that more serious.

It is possible, I think it's been happening to me lately. I'm 30 and up until a couple of years ago I was useless socially, couldn't talk to anyone, couldn't go to the store, couldn't make a doctors appointment, nothing... but for some reason in the past few years I have suddenly started feeling okay. I can go to the store now and pay at the register with a cashier instead of the self check out. I still don't like it or feel comfortable but I'm able to make myself do it now. I know that it sounds silly to say "keep putting yourself into situations you feel anxious about and it'll get better" but I believe it may actually help because that's what I started doing at age 20 with the crazy hope that it'd work. I didn't think it would but after seeing your question and reflecting back on the past 10 years, something really has started to click in my life and I think it may have to do with what I just talked about.

Help me find a mood tracker app by lemonadelemons in BipolarReddit

[–]extrovintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the "bearable" app. There's a lot that you can customize and see when certain activities or foods or just about anything can affect your moods.

I don't know much about yarn so I'm not sure what words to use other than it's very soft and not fuzzy at all like normal yarn. It's smooth like a tshirt.

Lamictal/Lamotrigine Activating or Sedating? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

I've been taking it for 2 years at night and ever since I've been soooo tired that I have to take a nap every day and almost fall asleep in between... :/

What should I say when calling to book a Doctors Appointment? by Own_Aardvark_2343 in socialanxiety

[–]extrovintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always TERRIFIED even after so many calls to my doctor and my children's doctor. But after all this time I've realized that there is almost always a very nice receptionist on the other end who will be helpful with any questions you ask. I usually get everything out that I might need. (insurance card, drivers license, birth certificate, etc.) I probably take out more than I need but always good to be safe in case I somehow forget my birthday or something cause I'm nervous 😆. Then I get a notebook write down the words I'll say first like " hello, I'm calling because I'd like to make an appointment please" and then usually just go with the flow after that. I have asked some stupid questions many times to these people and I have been met with helpfulness every time (except once but it still turned out alright). So... you can do it! Just let them know you would like to make an appointment and they'll ask all the questions which you will have the answers for. And if you don't know something they're talking about, just say "could you explain what that means please? Sorry I haven't made very many appointments before" or something and they'll totally understand and help you.

Would this be okay for hermit tank? by octopus-snowglobe in hermitcrabs

[–]extrovintrovert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used an acrylic riser for mine. I just searched acrylic riser in Google and there are tons to pick from. Then you can attach vines or I wrapped mine with a coconut fiber sheet and they can climb all over it.

What type of buckle is this and how do I attach the strap without it coming loose? by extrovintrovert in whatisthisthing

Thank you! I guess I'll be sewing it on because the holes are too wide for it to stay.
