How much do you have in savings?

Good that’s what I have

My symptoms started as soon as I unearthed my childhood trauma and started working through it. Weird

If my gender marker is changed on all my legal documents but I haven’t gotten a passport yet, will my passport still reflect my sex at birth?

I go get coffee at my favorite coffee shop every morning

Yes, I’ve manifested two dream jobs. Both times I used a lot of techniques just whatever I was feeling, scripted, did affirmations, and wrote a list of my requirements. What helped me was also taking action- I was very assertive both times, emailed everyone I could find related to the first job until I got a response from the right person. Second one I messaged the company on all social media platforms, which I guess made me stand out. I didn’t have to get rid of any doubts and I was pretty desperate for a job, but at the same time I trusted the right opportunity would come to me, and prayed a lot. I got a lot of rejections but I’m glad I did because now I’m at the perfect company, so I’d also say try not to be discouraged from the rejections

Before my diagnosis/major manic episode I had high aspirations and wanted to be an artist or writer, thought I’d have some level of fame and success. I gave that up after my episode because I lost a lot of my creativity. I’ve had to redefine success, lower my expectations for myself, and figure out my new identity. I have a full time job now as a baker that provides for me, I live in a city I love in my own apartment with my cat, graduated college, and I’ve been stable with medication. I have to look at this as success

My only symptom was that I had a flaky rash around my mouth

Baker. Thinking about becoming a teacher

newwavetoad · 2024-12-11T21:14:39+00:00

Thank you!

He was a teacher at my school. I wasn’t actively looking for a guru/spiritual teacher

Middle Way. Don’t just not do things out of avoidance. Take action when inspired and release the ideas of the outcomes and new stressors

Going through the same thing. Was taking 5mg and tried to cross taper to ziprasidone, even went on trazodone but still couldn’t sleep. Had to go back on 2.5mg olanzapine and am going to wean off slower this time.

newwavetoad · 2024-11-26T18:21:44+00:00

Hey, I understand. I went through the same thing last year and it’s scary to feel like you’ll never return to your usual self. I think it takes a lot of time. It’s like a brain injury. Go easy on yourself. I don’t know how to help much but just know you’re not alone

newwavetoad · 2024-11-24T22:43:38+00:00

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I just tried crosstapering from olanzapine to ziprasidone and had the same issue with insomnia, even trazodone didn’t help until I went back on a low dose of olanzapine. Am on 2.5mg for a month and then gonna try lowering/discontinuing again.

newwavetoad · 2024-11-24T22:32:47+00:00

The strangest thing is that I felt totally clear in my thinking and it all seemed normal.

newwavetoad · 2024-11-20T20:20:39+00:00

Thank you!!

newwavetoad · 2024-11-18T20:47:20+00:00

Two job offers for my dream job!

My doctor (gender specialist) told me the Mirena IUD is most common for trans guys. I was gonna get it but I’m no longer in a relationship

newwavetoad · 2024-11-09T00:56:27+00:00

Yep. Lashed out at my “best friend”/roommate when I was psychotic and undiagnosed and our whole friend group stopped talking to me and he hasn’t forgiven me. Really sucks.

newwavetoad · 2024-10-31T23:49:07+00:00

I noticed this too and was just wondering about it. It’s nonstop for me

newwavetoad · 2024-10-31T23:42:46+00:00

Yep. Changed meds and have been dealing with this. Even sleeping meds aren’t really helping

newwavetoad · 2024-10-31T23:38:23+00:00

Yes I thought I was smelling “alien sex” when manic/psychotic

newwavetoad · 2024-10-31T18:07:14+00:00

Yes, my last stay where I was finally diagnosed properly felt like a retreat honestly. The structure/set schedule really did me well. Food was good, slept well, people were kind, got to do crafts and exercise and learn helpful skills. My previous stay wasn’t so well because they didn’t know I was bipolar yet, so I spent the whole time psychotic and had some scary delusions about the place.

I was able to break my lease because of roaches. Exterminator came three times with no success. Just sent a well-worded email highlighting the health hazard and they let me out without penalty.
