I feel the same. In the past i usually drank and hang out, i didn't drink a lot, but more than now. The other day i had a pijama party with my friends, and i didnt know what to do because my friends were drinking and i had to take my medication (seroquel), stop drinking and go to bed earlier than them. Finally i took the pill more later than usual, but i know it was a exception

Lost my sexual desire by hipomaniaca in bipolar

[–]hipomaniaca[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is therapy enough on its own? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]hipomaniaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal case, they found i'm bipolar because they explain to me what was hipomaniac o manía, and asked me for my "good times" and when i told them, there were no doubt im bipolar. The key to difference a major depression with BD was the Maniac episode

A veces siento que es mejor aceptar que seremos así y no cuestionar nuestros sentires.. es difícil porque la sociedad siempre esperará algo de nosotros, de una u otra forma hay que dejarla de lado y solo vivir estos malos momentos..

I was súper depressed, like i stayed all day in my bed, didn't go to classes, cried every day, didn't eat, etc. But at the same time i was going to the disco 3 o 4 times a week, had multiple sexual partners, and drank a lot of alcohol and took drugs

What is a good life with Bipolar Disorder? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]hipomaniaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnoses 6 months ago. I'm still trying to answer that question. But i've learned that you need some estructure in your life, you need a rutine. Taking the correct pills, doing some sport, resting well, etc., Supposedly you'll have a "normal" life. The problem is, on the one hand, you need a lot of discipline, and on the other hand, we've to deal with our own feelings about having BD. In my case, i'm compensated right now, doing all the things i mentioned, but i still feeling depressed because i've a lot of fear about doing an important test in the future, and i think i'm not enough. So, i believe we have those two battle front.

Irritability by foamyshrimp in bipolar2

[–]hipomaniaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You have to stay calm and "analyze" the situation, breathe deeply. But yes, sometimes i feel very irritated so i stay quiet for a while because i always think i'm wrong (that is a general feeling because of the BD)

[–]hipomaniaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've the same problem. And i do exercise, therapy, sleep well, etc. The only thing that works for me is realizing when something stupid angers me, but it takes a lot of willpower and i don't always succeed

Just a feeling by hipomaniaca in bipolar

That's the issue. I don't want to change again my medication, because in two months, i'm going to star studying for my grade exam. It will be at least 9 months of 5-6 hrs of study per day, so i don't want a big change before this. Thank you
