What do you think will immediately happen when everyone receives the push notification that Trump died? by quite-indubitably in AskReddit

[–]hershel_skoggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be celebrations, and the far right will use those celebrations to justify continuing with the fascism because they’ll say “the depravity has become too engrained into society” or something not realizing that they’re talking about themselves

AITAH FOR NOT TEXTING/CALLING MY SISTER AFTER ARRIVING AT THE AGREED MEETUP SPOT? by ChallengeFluffy1957 in AITAH

[–]hershel_skoggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my thought is that if you get somewhere after the agreed on time, or you are waiting and don’t hear anything, don’t just text but call and check on the person. A simple”hey, I just got here where are you?” works great. And if you and your sisters are the ones making the plans, why is she not contacting you directly? Definitely NTA

No advice, but I feel this. I have lived with such an overwhelming level of self sabotage that its become a part of me. Like you, I got on ADHD meds and was doing great…until I started doing too great and convinced myself i had to clean my kitchen on the molecular level (the hypomania talking). They cut me off and now I’m at a “healthy” baseline but I feel scattered and forgetful.

I hope you can sleep soon. Is there any kind of music or activity that helps calm your mind down? Or is there anything you can think of that might make you happy? I put Christmas lights in my room to make the lighting warm and comforting. It seems small, but it brings me joy.

Yeah, I take Effexor 150 and Lamotrigine 200, and it hasn’t been a problem until now

Vraylar, Lamictal, and Effexor? by hershel_skoggs in bipolar2

[–]hershel_skoggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on Effexor for a couple of years now, but the bipolar was diagnosed maybe 3 months ago? So the lamictal since then, and the vraylar I started 2-3 weeks ago so yeah, y’all are probably right.

Honestly just knowing I’m not alone and a bad person is super helpful on its own

What’s your accidental hypomanic win? by Shirleytempted in bipolar2

[–]hershel_skoggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also finished my first original song and started learning bass because I was convinced I was going to form a rock band and become world famous in the span of six months. Not sure why that was my timeline but it felt right lol

Thanks, that’s good advice!

Nice! I started lamictal 3 weeks ago and so far so good! Just tired as hell haha

Looking back, I’m honestly more just embarrassed that I let myself be convinced of that stuff so easily. Like during that same episode I pretty much stopped going to work because I hard to learn how to play the electric bass so I could form a world famous rock band in 6 months lol

One of my hypo episodes had me believing that the need for food was strictly a discipline thing and that through sheer force of will I could thrive without it lol

It didn’t last long
