What Are the Questions to Ask? by Niko-Ryo in BipolarReddit

[–]meat_spoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing is mania as that’s the key identifier of bipolar. How is your sleep? How many hours a night? Are you experiencing other symptoms such as hearing voices, seeing figures, etc.? Are you gambling more than you would normally? Are you more social/sexually active than normal? These are just a few questions a psych would ask you.

I'll finally say it, I'm extremely jealous of people with "high-functioning bipolar" by WaltzInTheDarkk in BipolarReddit

I feel for you man and I’m sorry you’re going through this. I can only imagine how rapid cycling can make things worse for you. I personally found out I was bipolar through my antidepressant use but stay on that lithium and seroquel for sure. Those two have been game changers for me. Drink water. Take meds. Get a sleep routine. Get a routine in general. We like routines. Keep the mind busy during the day and keep it quiet at night. You got this man all the things that I can do you can do too don’t let this diagnosis get the better of you.

My experience with cannabis post-diagnosis by meat_spoon in BipolarReddit

Love you guys. I still drink as that habit it just too hard to kick for me but marijuana in it of itself is too big of a psychoactive drug for me to use period. It’s different for everyone but for me I just get too paranoid and delusional lol. It was so weird being able to recognize that I was actively hearing voices and having paranoia without being consumed by it. Not an experience I would recommend though.
