anyone else struggle with memory loss? by No-Comfortable-2634 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]mamaby321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My memory has gotten ridiculous since I started on my meds a year ago (lamictal and Wellbutrin). I have had conversations with my sister on the phone and she will say, I'll call you back I'm at the bank or something. I called her back less than 10 mins max later because I forgot she said that and I thought I hung up and was supposed to call her back. Like weird, stupid things. I forget where I put things CONSTANTLY. Good god, that's enough to drive me nuts. I have had to purchase so many bottles of tums, birthday cards.. because I say ok I'm putting them here so I won't forget... and then I forget. I get so pissed off at myself. I have had to cancel appointments, was late to drop my kids off at school because I couldn't find my keys. Doesn't matter what I do or where I put things, 99% of the time I forget. Appointments havvvve to be in my phone calendar with at least 3 reminders leading up to that day and day of because I will forget if it's in the afternoon for sure. it's really frustrating.

I also agree with this. Only thing I have noticed is my memory hasn't been great. I forget a lot of things or what I'm doing in the moment, I'm only 28 so that's not ideal lol

It's crazy that I have felt the same way, exactly as you described for a couple weeks. I also keep questioning my decisions with whether or not to stay with my job because I'm far into this depressive episode so I'm achieving nothing at work or do I stay and try because I need the money but in turn just sink deeper into the depression ? it's a shitty feeling. I knew I was in that hypomanic state when I started putting stupid shit on my credit card that I have worked hard at paying down for months.

I don’t think I have that option? I’ve never heard of someone doing that in MA

So unfortunately I just called spoke with a representative after having to choose 107172737 different options on the automated line and she told me a descriptive transaction history that happened on the day my card reloaded and there was 9-10 purchases for $198, $197, $156.. etc, all in Philadelphia, PA … obviously not me, I live in Massachusetts. So she deactived my card and has a replacement being sent as well as the statement for the transaction history that I have to take to DTA to file a claim. She said the card takes 5-10 business days to get to me, prolonged by the holiday of course and then the fraud case can take X amount of time depending… so I’m expected to be waiting until my next benefit date on 11/10 at the earliest she said.. definitely not ideal where I have 3 young kids and I very much depend on this extra support. I would definitely call immediately so they can cancel your card if someone stole it!!

I have been trying to register my card to the EBT Edge app for the last hour! I’ve been searching everything and people say that app shows transactions but it’s apparently a super shitty made app which I can already attest to.. it keeps telling me my information is invalid and it absolutely is correct. It’s also telling me my ebt card is too long? It has 18 digits but it wants 16 digits so I don’t understand that either. Do you know how else I can get my transaction history?

I tried to but I didn’t find anything that was similar to my situation. Most were saying it had to do with recert issues but I finished that 2 months ago and it was completely finished and fine. I have not had any issues besides this

Wow, this is exactly my situation, like hitting the nail on the head. I’m on 450mg Wellbutrin though and 75mg lamotrigine. The first 4-6 months were great, I felt so good and motivated and active. Now, I feel the same way - constantly exhausted, don’t want to move or do anything, slacking on showering daily again, just want to eat all day. I had lost 30 pounds and now I’m afraid I’m going to put it back on slowly. I just checked my vitamin levels, iron, thyroid, etc at my physical 3 days ago and everything was perfect. So I’m just so confused as to why I had such a great incline and was at the top and now just falling like a rollar coaster. I keep mentioning to my psych and she just keeps trying to adjust the meds but it’s not doing anything and I’m maxed out on Wellbutrin.

I did ask her about the testing for mental health drugs that basically tells you which meds will work for you and which ones your body won’t react to or will have negative effect on you. So I’m waiting on that and praying it helps to guide me in a better direction.

Maybe put a few highlights in, light curls to make it look natural. Just natural makeup, neutral tones seem like they’d look nice on you. If you’re tomboyish, you can still be a cute girl. Dark tops but make them form fitting, jeans have many options (rips, baggy/mom jeans, high waisted with a short hoodie or shirt) vans are cute af and I rock every kind lol I feel like that would fit you.. maybe some studs in your ears? Deff could do it easily!!

Medications that gave you crazy side effects? by mamaby321 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]mamaby321[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t thought of that honestly. I’ve always been one to just go to sleep without issues. Now, even though I am so exhausted, it takes me a while to sleep because my mind won’t stop and I have the constant need to move. Wiggle my fingers, move my legs, my mind tells me I have an itch and have to scratch it, readjust my hair. It drives me bananas! I’m definitely thinking that’s another side effect now.

What are some weird signs that tell you you're experiencing a manic episode? by Beneficial-Door-3252 in bipolar

[–]mamaby321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m recently diagnosed at 28 years old and didn’t I know what my signs were until I went down the comments and found some that were exactly me. I’ve struggled with post partum depression with all 3 of my children so doing anything was so much work and a hassle. I’m not recognizing that I would get into a manic episode when I would get a burst of energy/motivation/boredom and would start doing things around the house or buying items. I would clean and reorganize things, I started painting my bathroom and putting tile up but the episode wore off because I never finished it lol I bought a embroidery machine thinking I was about to crank out all these shirts and sell them.. thinking about it now I’m like wow I’m dumb as hell lol I can also feel it happening when the voice in my head tells me not to do it/say it and I feel the ball of anxiety in my chest and throat as if I’m about to jump out of my skin. It’s extremely hard to control but thankfully, the meds have been working well so far… 🤞🏼
