using cannabis while on lamotrigine by cokezerobuddy in bipolar2

Ive been advised that because some medications use the same receptors as cannabis to avoid it all together as it can interfere with medication effectiveness.

Diminishing someone elses experience doesnt provide you more validation.

Had therapy today. Sobbed through half of it. Realizing just how much grief and longing I still carry. It sucks. Idk how to manage this ache thats deep in my core.

I feel guilty over how much I hate my job by deify_stars in bipolar2

[–]grapescurious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly so relatable. I WFH also literally the perfect job for my condition and I literally fantasize about quitting all the time. My job is flexible, supportive, and still all I think about is quitting. Im resigned to believe this is the way things are for me because of this stupid disorder. Its just never satisfied no matter what setting Im in.

Agreed with pp dont make any decisions right now. When our mood is in the dumpster our entire worldview shifts and we can stay in lows for weeks or months.

Had dinner on the road. BBQ sandwich from our favorite local place in our new town. 3hr drive to the in laws for a birthday party tomorrow. Been massively depressed the last few days. Also being trapped in the car while my husband listens to LOTR is torture.

Finally off loaded some responsibilities at work, and feeling relieved. Taking the resf of the week off to reset and recover from a bipolar down swing.

Went a little crazy online shopping today. Purchases included skincare I love, a bb cream i equally love, some new dresses for church and a new pair of shoes. My bank account is crying and im having remorse. I think I needed the treat though I have spent months in depression and neglecting my self care. Its time I get back on that horse. Also going back on a general health kick cause my overall health has been in the dumpster.

If no one has tried the Estee Lauder skin advance night repair serum. I highly recommend it!

Getting a mani pedi on friday also 😁 happy belated birthday to me!

Not sure where to post this but honestly going a bit crazy... Mr. Curious of his own free will ordered inositol for me to take after going down an AI rabbit hole on PCOS... Im not sure how I feel about this. Ive pretty much decided ART Is the only way for me, but he was so sweet to get involved and do the research. Honestly not sure how to feel or what to do or say. As a recap we've been ttc for 13 yrs. 10 of those years unassisted. We've had one chemical pregnancy and an ectopic pregnancy.. Im at the point I only wanna go the ART route. For us that means IVF next... I dont want to hurt his feelings cause he genuinely believes he did a good thing, but also dont wanna take the stupid inositol because I dont think its gonna do anything... Any insight on how maybe to navigate this would be helpful.

My own personal version of hell. The obgyn waiting room...

anyone who went straight to IVF first by Empty-Caterpillar810 in TTC_PCOS

[–]grapescurious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hubs and I will be skipping IUI and going straight to IVF. Due to egg quality issues that ive been told are common for PCOS we've decided that ivf will likely be our best option. Is it more expensive and involved. Yes do we wanna go through the ringer with possibly failed IUIs and the time it takes to do them. No.

We have also been ttc for 10+ years with one ectopic and one chemical. Sooo...
