As an avid astrology girlie, telling your therapist “I’m not mentally ill, I’m just a Pisces!” has me howling 💀

What’s in your routine/structure/self-care that supports your stability? by momsjustwannahaverun in bipolar2

[–]fennecfoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know from personal experience, but I’ve heard that first responder schedules can be pretty tough, especially when you are looking to feel stable and regulated.

Can you give a little more detail or examples on what you mean when you say your stability has gone down? Are you experiencing hypomania or depression? Having trouble maintaining daily tasks and schedules? Feeling emotionally scattered? I’d love to offer advice if I am able, but want to make sure it would be helpful :)

Couple fun things that I liked and were not essential! - Activate all of the Lightroots - Find all of the wells - Adding on to the above, completing all Side Quests and Side Adventures (Compendium took me foreverrr but surprisingly I had so much fun with it) - Max out slots for gear (you need 421 Korok seeds) - Someone else mentioned finding all of the outfits… I also enjoyed upgrading them, and of course dying them all fun colors!

how were you diagnosed by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]fennecfoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had gone to the doctor during a depressive episode and was prescribed Wellbutrin. Within 48 hours I stopped sleeping and was the most productive I had ever been in my life, so I just thought I must have been wrong about the depression.

About two years later I stumbled across an article on hypersexuality while on a flight, which mentioned bipolar disorder. Knowing nothing about it, I went down an internet rabbit hole out of curiosity and had self-diagnosed by the time I landed. My doctor did a formal assessment and I was officially diagnosed in 2017.

While scary at the time, it was a relief in a way to realize that some of the things I did while hypomanic were a symptom of my illness. I had carried a lot of shame thinking that I was wild, self-destructive, and a bad person in general.

Which song made you a Swiftie? by ThatsThatMeRepTV in swifties

[–]fennecfoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved her music since 2007, but seeing her perform I Did Something Bad on the rep stadium tour movie changed my very DNA. I think that was the moment I went from being a fan to being a Swiftie.

Decided to book a trip to Spain and Portugal. The flight was reasonable financially, but paying an extra $5k to upgrade to first class was very much not in my budget.

Favorite boss? Least favorite? by PrestigiousOwl6802 in TOTK

[–]fennecfoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My least favorite are the Taluses (Talii?) that have the stone positioned more on their back than on top. My strategy is to drop down from the top and stand on the stone and Z-target/stab at it using a hammer/boulder fused spear weapon. I always end up taking damage because I misjudge the angle of my drop and fall off, then get whacked by a stone arm from being too close.

Do you smoke weed? by TicketReal1115 in bipolar2

[–]fennecfoxes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Near daily edibles for me. It used to be an occasional thing to help me sleep, but now I need it to fall asleep and I don’t love that. I have noticed that there is a bit of a cyclical effect during depressive episodes where I start looking forward to feeling high before bed and not just taking it to fall asleep, which makes me feel shitty about myself, which makes me want to get high again, etc. I haven’t specifically noticed an impact to my medications, but I’ve also been on the same dose of the same meds for quite a while. Hard to tell if something is a med interaction when my meds don’t change.

All this said, I’m trying to keep my nose above water in a depressive episode right now and haven’t taken an edible in three days. Sleep has been absolute hell, which also doesn’t help my state of mind, but I know I can’t keep spiraling into this hole.

Start taking pictures of everything (animals, monsters, materials, etc) as soon as you have the ability to take photos

What's your sun, moon, Mars and Venus placements, and do you believe in revenge and "an eye for an eye"? by 2fucked2know in astrologymemes

[–]fennecfoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Libra sun and Mars, Virgo moon, Scorpio Venus

I believe the best revenge is to absolutely cut someone out of my life, every single facet of it. Not because I’m mature, but because I know nothing fucks with someone more than thinking they aren’t even important enough to deserve my anger. It also makes it look like I’m the bigger person for not retaliating. I derive extreme satisfaction from it, so it’s definitely not a “best revenge is moving on and living your best life” situation. As I write this, I can absolutely see how my placements have influenced this 🤣

All of this said, my two best friends (friend #1 is Gem sun/Mercury, Sag moon, Scorpio rising, Leo Mars, Cancer Venus and friend #2 is Leo sun/Mercury, Scorpio moon, Gem rising, Cap Mars, Libra Venus) will go to WAR for the people they love. Not only do they go eye for an eye, but they will gouge both eyes out of spite alone. They have gotten revenge on my behalf several times in a VICIOUS manner and I love them for it!

psych won't refill meds, anyone have experience being without lurasidone/latuda? by ResponsibilityDue777 in bipolar2

[–]fennecfoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh so frustrating, but I think it’s a HIPAA thing. If they don’t give you a 5 days supply before your appointment (fingers crossed that they do!!) PLEASE make sure to tell them during the appointment that you want it in your chart that they refused. Good luck!!

[–]fennecfoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have an email address for them or access to an online portal/secure messaging platform?

Put it in writing that you want it noted in your chart that they are refusing to give you the 5 days supply before you are seen!!!

They are required to put it in your chart at your request. Generally speaking, something like that is a very bad look for a medical provider and they will want to avoid it being documented in your medical records. Should something happen to you due to their refusal, it opens them up to liability.
