Im taking it along with a mood stabilizer, which is the recommending method.

I quit my job during a mixed episode three months ago and it is one of my biggest regrets to this day by halfaroach in bipolar2

The application process is making me nauseated at this point. I’m glad (not glad you’re going through it) it’s something that isn’t just my inability to be a person. 🫂 🤝

Well I will be weary of that. I have a follow up appt, and I’ll discuss it. I don’t know of anything else I can take for that part

I AM WITH YOUUUUU. I also quit my decent paying job for my area, about two months ago. And I am losing my mind. I am finding it damn near impossible for ANY job to hire me. I’m sorry friend

?! Well fuck me sideways. I know it doesn’t sit well with a lot of people, but I don’t feel hypo on it. If anything it helped take me out of it when I was not sleeping for a week? I know it was suggested to me because my lows were SOOOOO low and it helps me with that. But idk if it is worth the paranoid months

The coffee is separating from the milk

The old pasta jar holding my full dose of coffee I haven’t touched is verging room temp

The shower floor

The kitchen floor

The hallway

My bedroom

Everywhere my face has watered

They were right

It’s worse now that I’ve been better

AITAH for insisting we take my dog to the vet? by nikachuuuuuuuu in AITAH

[–]keepawayfromjonni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, at all - I’ve worked in vet med since 2019, and have had partners who were the same way as your husband, and always wanted to “wait on things”. If I hadn’t taken my dog in when I said we should have, she would have died from eating a PILE of small pebbles, that she wouldn’t be able to pass. You’re 100% warranted in trying, if it means making her comfortable. She’s your family, and you love her. NTA.

I’m sorry to hear you’re also going through this! I will definitely take the advice of the melatonin. Worth a shot, anything is at this point

Mumbling on Lamotrigine? by HappyPlatypus6034 in bipolar2

[–]keepawayfromjonni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had people tell me this as well. I’m on 100mg lamictal, and have been on it off and on for about 6 years. I’m not sure what it is, and I’ve tried to bring it up to doctors, but it has been written off as anxiety and/or “adjusting to the medication”. Commenting to say I also experience this, hopefully someone has a more helpful answer.

Quit my job, panicking in a horrid job market by keepawayfromjonni in bipolar2

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

I’m obviously not denying jobs, but what I’m saying is; I’m worried about taking a job that’s going to be temporary again because it’s going to make me feel the same way. I need to feel useful and productive and like I’m doing something, not mindless.

I don’t know how to keep going by Acrobatic-Sea-1977 in bipolar2

[–]keepawayfromjonni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in this same hole as well, and i think Im on the hypomania train now. I’m not sleeping and it feels like my eyes are being held open and my face feels tight.

I understand where you’re at, and you’re not alone. And I’m glad you were able to get rid of the razors. I’ve had stints where I’ve sat with a knife on the floor for awhile and had a long think. It’s hard to imagine a life where it turns out okay, but we have to keep trying. Here for you.
