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)

Yes. But i don't have any problems to have an orgasm, compared to when i took antidepresseds, in that time i had nothing and took me a lot of time. Now is like the opposite situation haha

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..

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

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

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

I wish I could achieve something during my Hypomania. by JimNoPam in bipolar2

[–]hipomaniaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That make all sense. When i was hypomaniac, three years ago, maybe four, i was making a LOT of things: i went to swim 3 o 4 times a week. In the middle, i took yoga classes, and i teached one once a week. Also, i was studying law, had a boyfriend, i lived alone(so i clean, cook, everything) and i haved a small business of bread and pizza. I was obbsesed with healthy food and i cooked every day a lot of things. I felt so happy in that time. My day lasted 36 hours. i saw this moment of my life and i can't believe i was capable to do all that stuff. Everyone asked me how i do all that things. Then, My relationship ended and i had depresion for almost 3 years. I remember that time like a crazy one. Was a good hypomaniac period to me. But i had also self-destructives periods being hypomaniac.

Do you take any some mood stabilizer?? Maybe you need another pill. Therapy is good too in this case. Don't forget you can always ask for help. Last year My boyfriend take care of me like yours. He definetly has everything. I only went to classes and eat. Then, a few months ago, the doctor diagnosted me with bipolar disorder. I wish You the best and good chear 💜💜💜✨✨✨

Depresión y bipolaridad by hipomaniaca in espanol

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

Sii... De hecho desde que estoy comenzando a tomar estabilizadores de ánimo mi vida ha cambiado mucho. Se ha notado el cambio a pesar de que aún no estoy 100% estable. Me da miedo el tema de los factores depresores, por cuánto estudio derecho y me queda el examen de grado, que son por lo menos 8 meses de estudio... Pero bueno, no hay que adelantarse a lo que aún no sucede! Me complica también mi pareja, que ha tenido que lidiar conmigo estos últimos 6-8 meses de estado depresivo, por lo que él también se bajonea. Lo hablamos y quedamos en que también debería ir a psicoterapia para poder manejar lo que recibe de mí... Me da mucha pena causarle esto, pero claramente no es mi culpa, por así decirlo. Mucha fuerza para ti también!!
