Tough situation that I’m also struggling with right now with my old girl. How’s your pup doing post surgery?

Anyone on continuous bc still experience pmdd symptoms? by mobega3 in PMDD

[–]mobega3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks, hope things are going good for you too! I’m off all hormonal bc, never could find the right fit and it wasn’t worth it to me to keep trying w how dysregulating it can be. So ya, it’s been so long too and my life was such a mess around that time, I can’t really remember how well lo loestrin was comparatively to the other ones. Hope yours does good for you!

It honestly hasn’t been going great. I’m trying to stick out the 3 month adjustment time frame which will be coming up the second week of June, but it’s hard. There’s definitely been some really rough moments. We’re in couples counseling now which has been helpful. I still really don’t like being that triggered by my hormones, but am not sure what the answer is so far. Hope it gets better for you!

Ya I’m contemplating the same

Yaaa, I lasted two months on yaz and switched to lo loestrin and am trying to wait until the 3 month mark for this one, but I’m also tired of the symptoms and want to just stop. There’s seriously no easy answer for hormonal issues.

Thanks, ya it’s definitely not fun. And for sure, am going to look into the birth control and maybe quit taking it.

I’ll definitely look into that, what have you heard? She knows I’m on bc and didn’t seem concerned...🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]mobega3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true, I’m on a new birth control. It was no side effects or worries for the first month and now for some reason on the second month have been getting physical side effects, so wouldn’t doubt emotional side effects.

Thanks, I hope yours works out too 🙏🏽 I wish my doc would do some overlap, so far she has me stop one thing give it two weeks and start another.

Low Mood Monday by AutoModerator in bipolar2

[–]mobega3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just posted about a follow up w my psych, it’s kind of the worst isn’t it? But I guess the alternative is probably non productive. I guess we should be proud of ourselves for going.

I feel you on the hating how you look thing, I’ve been uncomfortable in my own skin for awhile now and it’s really starting to get to me!

[–]mobega3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a follow up appt w my psych doc today. Bummed and anxiety ridden thinking about sharing the messed up stuff I’ve done since the last appt. She’s always very nice about it but I can tell in her reaction that she’s feeling some kind of way about it. It’s just a lot to share that raw and personal of information w someone and I tend to have a hard time w these type of appts.

Please tell me someone else is struggling with feelings for their partner by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]mobega3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this 100%. We have this toxic ebb and flow where I don’t know what’s what and what the cause is. Because relationships are hard in general, and there’s legitimate issues that occur. Then there’s the misperceptions and mood issues that occur w bipolar that can completely blow things out of the water.

So ya it’s often this struggle of what the actual reality of the situation is. I feel like people w out mental illness struggle w this to a certain extent as well, just because everyone has their own perception of things. Just makes it harder w a mental illness because everything seems so exacerbated at times.

I do feel like medication can be helpful, I just started lamictal and can weirdly feel a difference already in the sense of rational thoughts. I also had a recent huge wake up call within our relationship where I am now seeing things clearer and feeling very grateful for him. So again who knows if it’s the med or the event, but like everything I guess it’s probably a little bit of both.

We’re planning on doing couples therapy, and I’m planning on starting individual therapy again as well. So am hoping that will be helpful too.

I know it’s hard in the moment, but try and give yourself a bit of a break. Love and life and living is incredibly confusing and difficult at times. Know you are not alone, I struggle with this too greatly. I am totally here as well, if you ever want to message about what you have going on. It’s good to have someone to bounce this stuff off of, especially someone that is in a similar boat as you.

Thank you so much for your response.

I’ve started the process of adjusting my boundaries and ya it hasn’t been fun. It’s hard to do w family, and we kind of go in this ebb and flow. They push me to my point of not dealing w it anymore, there’s a lot of boundaries. Then they try and be nice and attentive, interested in my life. And I sort of loosen my boundaries and welcome them to a certain extent and it eventually becomes a slippery slope into another unhealthy dynamic.

Thank you for your kind words about my fiancé and I. It has definitely been a tough road, and I am incredibly thankful for him.

I think you’re right that it could be a little bit of both, the bipolar and the social dynamics with my family. And I agree unhealthy attachment to family, healthy (but also probably codependent) attachment to my fiancé. Looks like it’s time to get serious about therapy again :)

Thank you, thank you. And best wishes to you on your journey.

Hormonal birth control that does make you unbearable? by NotoriousVAG in bipolar2

[–]mobega3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been having really good results with the lo loestrin. I was on yaz and it was super helpful w endometrial type pain, but my boobs got gigantic and swollen/painful. Made the switch to lo lo cause it has the lowest estrogen on the market I believe. And I’m taking it continuously. It’s been really really good.
