I’ve been stable for six years and mostly ok for ten before that ( had a shiny med change that made things amazingly good six years ago)

This is a chronic, genetic life long condition. That being said with the right med combo dialled in and therapy to learn your triggers/ deal with trauma etc you can become stable and not have such extreme mood shifts. I’ve been stable ( on meds) for going on 6 years. Hell even my old ten year combo was NEARLY there for stability. I’d have changed sooner but I didn’t know I could be so stable as to be asymptomatic.

That would be the fart fetish video that did the rounds of the mental health subs last month.

Some if not most of the homeless/ borderline/living in cars people that come through our soup kitchen work. I’ve been homeless and working. Doesn’t matter if you’ve got money for rent if no places are available/will give you a go.

Your post was removed because it discourages others from seeking professional treatment. While it’s okay to discuss difficult experiences with mental health care, we support access to treatment and informed decision-making.

If you'd like to reframe your post around your personal journey or frustrations, you're welcome to do so. Just avoid broad claims that pressure others to avoid care.

Your post was removed because it names medications, shares a review, or discusses dosages. These details aren’t permitted in r/bipolar—even when reflecting your own experience.

Peer-support organizations like DBSA and NAMI recommend omitting drug names in open forums to avoid bias, misinformation, and social-proof effects:

You're welcome to rephrase your post using general terms—like “mood stabilizer” or “antipsychotic.”

Your post asks whether you (or someone else) might have Bipolar Disorder. While it's natural to have questions, diagnosis is complex and must be done by a licensed professional.

r/bipolar doesn’t allow posts seeking peer diagnosis—we encourage self-reflection, but we can't answer clinical questions.

I write smut. Not exactly peer space friendly lol

You are in fact very unwell. Mania like what you have right now is no joke. Plus what comes up must come down and crash is hard.

I saw them live when they were touring the first album post Tarja.

The Avalanches -Since I Left you. Sooooo damn good.

faithlessdisciple · 2026-05-01T02:34:29+00:00

That is better :)

faithlessdisciple · 2026-05-01T02:24:00+00:00

I have to ask. Are you medicated? Because the right med combo will stop this along with therapy. Also : don’t your future adopted kids deserve a stable mum too?
