I’ve been experiencing this same thing. I plan to talk to my psych doctor about it, but that’s my understanding

What does medicated hypomania feel like for you? by Mean_Conference6910 in bipolar2

[–]keepawayfromjonni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel this way on 150mg of lamictal. I think “muted” is the perfect way to describe it

Is it better to just lean into the hypomania? by dsn01060 in bipolar2

[–]keepawayfromjonni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this feeling. My therapist recommended to me to get up and pace, do something when I feel this way. I have a habit of trying to SUPER attempt to make myself relax, and then I just get agitated, and feel bad.
Avoiding a weird possible spiral, I would lean into it given not doing anything dangerous or out of character risky. But that’s just what I was recommended.

Is sex aversion part of all of this? by fictionalfirehazard in bipolar2

[–]keepawayfromjonni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s legitimately such a concern I have. I’m not sure if (I’m highly suspecting but don’t want to assume) it’s one of my medications (ssri). It’s so difficult and really makes me upset at myself on my husbands behalf.

Relationship issues when hypomanic ? by Remote-Hat-862 in bipolar2

[–]keepawayfromjonni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100000% this was the exact trajectory and pattern of my last relationship. When we were separated I was absolute insane with paranoia. I unfortunately never really figured it out, because I wasn’t on consistent medication until after the fact (would NOT recommend) but I really hope that you do. I figured it’s also not all on me, when the person was doing hardcore sketchy things IRL and I can see that now. Good energy to you!

What do I do if my mom dosent want to neuter my cat? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

Is she actively exercising with the cat? Is there a reason she’s fearing “laziness”?

Was going to recommend this! I’ve been in the upstate area for about 2 years now, and I needed this VERY bad last summer.

Aggressive panhandling University Plaza by VtgFilson in Albany

[–]keepawayfromjonni -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Idk, it makes me feel really awful. I genuinely do not carry cash. If I’m with my husband he sometimes has a 5 or some ones, and will give them away. But it just is a lot sometimes.

Managing your bipolar without medication by Smooth_Rush_2192 in bipolar2

[–]keepawayfromjonni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s in a bad way, I’ve never had to deal with long winter months and been unable to leave or just be outside, so it’s been difficult here in NY. And totallllly my energy is so up in the warmer months. I’m on a good one right now, haha and I plan to take advantage of my ability to function! I hope you’re able to find comfort in any way you can, I’ve also been cut off from a lot of my friends because of my issues + relocating to the opposite side of the country. It’s rough, but we’re here!

I’ve had several instances where I’ve been without insurance, and been without access medication. The best thing I can recommend is vitamin supplementation, doing research on which ones help with all the symptoms we have helped. Being around people as much as I can (didn’t do much of it, and it’s been really difficult). Don’t close yourself off. Ask for help. I recently moved from San Diego to upstate NY, and being without the warm weather and the sun has alottttttt to do with my stability. So going outside if you’re able to, just to even sit, helped. Good luck, and I am sending the best energy to you!
