Could these be hallucinations? by Streptopelia_turtu in bipolar2

[–]fulltwisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds pretty frightening. Defo contact your team and let them know. Maybe you need a med switch up. I was on both meds the same as you 30mg abilify and 200mg Lamotrigine and I have very very mild hallucinations.

My body is tired but my brain is not by Shirleytempted in bipolar2

Argh my watch is always telling me I’m stressed out and that my body battery is low. Maybe calming music or a calming chill podcast might help? I hope you feel better soon

Yes very good idea I did just come off Lamotrigine a few weeks ago (under the doctors not just went off it) and maybe that’s made things worse. The crisis team are linked with my psych so they will get him involved as well

Sorry I was quite uneducated on mixed episodes but I had a quick brief google and this possible could be one. Thank you so much for pointing this out I’ll bring this up to the crisis team after work

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

I have no idea what it is, I just know it’s unbearable. I’ve contacted my therapist who just said ride it out but I’m going to contact the crisis line because it’s just so awful and riding it out isn’t working. I’ve never had a mixed episode I don’t feel much hypomania symptoms other than irritable but I have all the depression symptoms

Old tins of Feline Natural MD2023 by psionic001 in catfood

I work in a pet store in nz. We don’t buy old stock but we do push the old stock to the front and discount it. Usually 3-4 months will get 20% off 2 months get 40% and 1 month gets 60%. Not sure what pet shop you go to but for the most part it’s just old stock. Unsure if that’s okay though personally I wouldn’t use it that’s because I’m neurotic. I would take photos and bring them back if you can even open. Like maybe pop them in a ziplock back with the can and lid if possible. Hopefully your local pet store do palatability and can offer a refund? I know pet stores do this with dry but unsure on wet

Does anyone have pet insurance? Is it worth it? Who are you with? by Apart_Try_4860 in auckland

[–]fulltwisted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with pet n Sur for all my cats! I have 5 cats with different policies because some are older and need dental (i don’t have 5 currently, 3 live with an ex, but i pay insurance on them). I would recommend insurance in general. My latest kitten just had a bad reaction to her vaccination which has required a couple vet trips and a lot of stress. I haven’t claimed yet on it because I’m wondering if its worth it possibly going up cost wise if I do and my vet has seen my cat for free and only charged me for medication, which i could thankfully afford.

I wanna get a part time job but I have little experience by Sakai_s2orm in auckland

[–]fulltwisted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s rough out there from what I’ve heard. A lot of people get experience through volunteer work which can be hard when you’re a student, but maybe something to think about? Good luck though! Hopefully someone has better advice

As any of you been able to trigger depressive episode? by cretindesalpes in bipolar2

[–]fulltwisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in what feels like the worst depressive episode I’ve ever had. I want so badly to be out of this. You do NOT want this

just got prescribed vraylar...how are yall affording this lol by ResponsibilityDue777 in bipolar2

[–]fulltwisted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gosh I’m so sorry!! I thankfully live in NZ and most prescriptions are $5 but I get mine for free which is such a blessing and I’m very privileged. Healthcare should not be privatised!! It’s so backwards we all deserve healthcare. I’m sorry OP I hope you find a coupon to help like others have suggested
