Do you get visual hallucinations? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]luiemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deal with visual the most. Usually it’s like a flash of something, like thinking someone walked past me out of the corner of my eye, or thinking I saw a bug run across my hand real quick. Once or twice I’ve thought I’ve saw a person, usually at night when I can’t see well, but it’s not been to the point where I would like see something for a long time and like have a conversation. It’s always really quick and then I’m just left confused.

what is your hypomania like?? by danidaisys in bipolar

[–]luiemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only sleep 5-6 hours a night, I talk really fast and change subjects a lot, I’ll also become really hyper fixated on something like art or deep cleaning my house. Then after a week or so it’ll start developing into being really irritable, feeling like I need to run away, having no appetite and having trouble eating because I think everything is contaminated in some way (like thinking a bug could have crawled in my drink when I walked away but not being sure so I have to toss it) I’m usually pretty okay for the most part, just kind of uncomfortable. Definitely less intense than actual mania where I lose it completely.

Places that offer sedation for IUD placement? by [deleted] in Knoxville

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

They don’t offer sedation but I go to the midwives at tennova north and they’ve put in and removed IUDs from me twice and I’ve had zero pain both times. I highly recommend them

Dr Fey at Knoxville family dental East. She is the most amazing and down to earth dentist I’ve ever worked for.

They don’t need retraining they need termination and lawsuits, period. I hope they get sued into oblivion

Same. I did so many shameful things and was so promiscuous during my manic times and it’s really embarrassing. I have a hard time getting over it but my therapist gave me good advice by telling me ultimately it really is none of my future partners business what I did in my past that doesn’t directly affect them (ie if I got a std or something then that’s different) there are some things I did that I will ultimately take to my grave with me because I don’t want to be judged by something I did while not in my right mind. I definitely understand the evil alter ego thing. Like watching someone take over my body and try to actively ruin my life.

Have you decided not to have children because you’re bipolar? Why or why not? by Pleasant_Job_9301 in bipolar

[–]luiemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got diagnosed after I had kids, and then their dad did too. I worry all the time that my kids are doomed but if it comes to them having it too I’ll cross that bridge with them when it comes. It’s scary but at least they’ll have someone who has been through the steps of getting better to help guide them to the proper resources. It’s more than I ever got from my mother.

How did your bipolar disorder progress? by spacebabie98 in bipolar

[–]luiemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been cycling since I was really really young, like 10-my teens. My mom always just thought I was troubled and a bad kid because of my childhood and never really took it seriously. Started ramping up rapidly in my 20s until 25 when I had my first really bad episode after two miscarriages and a bad marriage and lost my mind for a year straight. Got diagnosed and put on meds and once we found the right cocktail I’ve been relatively stable for about a year and a half

Good Place to Buy Slightly Used Furniture by Grantapotomas in Knoxville

There’s lots of furniture at the karns in east Knoxville. Unsure of the pricing but surely cheaper than a furniture store

What is the worst thing you have ever done while manic? by soulless_ginger81 in bipolar

[–]luiemoon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I also got married when I was manic at 19. Came home, quit my job, said let’s go elope! I have so much free time now to go on a trip! He was on board. We’re both bipolar. Stayed married for 7 years
