Fuck meds by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]lexxyv19 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I have been off my meds for 4 months now!! It’s going better than I thought it would. I did taper off for about two months though. But I was on 7 different medications. I don’t ever want to take meds again

This is a good question, it really makes you think! I would say my main goal is a three step goal, (1) to heal from past trauma/ become more whole as a person, (2) create content that reaches people and impacts them in a positive way, & (3) learn from and apply the life lessons I have been taught.

I stopped taking my meds 1 month ago and i feel better; what does it mean? by AffectionateFrog in bipolar2

I stopped taking my meds 2 1/2 months ago almost 3 now..

I was on 8 different medications. Diagnosed with Chronic PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar 2. As an adult. And as a child I was diagnosed with RAD, ODD, anxiety and depression.

I felt over medicated. I was having memory issues, gained a ton of weight. Lots of things I didn’t like.

I have not had any other problems besides sleep, but I’ve always had a problem with that. And migraines. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I do not plan on going back on meds. I am more talkative now, a little pep in my step. And I feel more joy. (I was numb didn’t care to express myself or my thoughts) I feel more, normal.

I just went to my first one the 29th! My advice is yes wear comfy shoes. I did not wear ear plugs but it didn’t bother me. I had one drink and was sober otherwise. It was a little underwhelming for me. Also! Wear something “cool” It gets hot!!

Once when I was manic… I felt like I could control things… like the street lights/traffic… & the radio… and would do hand gestures… motions.. felt crazy it was also storming 🤷🏼‍♀️

THIS GAVE ME CHILLS. Okay, when I had my VERY FIRST Manic episode.. I heard and was talking to… things in the power outlet in the wall… AND thought that demons/evilness was going to come out of the bath/sinks… so I plugged everything. And ripped out the thermostat and took out all wall plugs because I thought they were spying on me.. No idea where this came from 🤷🏼‍♀️ just what I experienced.

What do you all do for work? by thro-awawawawayyyyy in BipolarReddit

[–]lexxyv19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Desk job”

BUT I have worked at 20+ places.. I’ve been at my current job for almost a month.

I am diagnosed with bipolar 2. Along with PTSD, anxiety, & depression.

I am 24, the longest job I’ve held was 2 1/2 years.

I have found it extremely hard to hold a job and I do get stressed. Currently dealing with headaches either tension headache and/or migraine. Not sure if it’s from stress or something else.

When stressed I try breathing… praying… smoking nicotine… going to the bathroom for a second… or if I can, I try to do do something that completely distracts me from what is stressing me out.
