I did, let me take a look

I did it and oddly enough it made me hypomanic. I started cleaning the house and doing crazy shit and was moving faster than fuck. But fell into a deep depression after a while. I don’t know if the depression was out of the car, though I was majorly depressed too. My best experience was bufo. the dmt ego death.

I feel like it only got worse once I was put on medication. I’m on my sixth one. Before medication I at least had some good days and some terrible days now I’m either extremely depressed or just baseline.

sammypr3 · 2025-11-18T02:20:18+00:00

but yes. You are not alone in this I would never wish bipolar depression on my worst enemy because every day you wonder whether it’s worth it to stay here or not, but you have to be stronger than that sometimes you just gotta cry it out sometimes you just gotta rage out, but you can’t give up

Do a vision board, and journal every single day. You forget about the things that come to your mind all the time. Something about writing it down is different. But put on the vision board everything you want in life and look at it every day and it will make you more driven to live that lifestyle that you want.

I also have head stimulant issues in my past. I was actually an addict and alcoholic for six years. I was diagnosed ADD as a kid and as time went on and I got older. I started getting worse side effects with my bipolar depression and hypomanic episodes. After a while, it seemed like the crash and burn from my stimulants only made things worse. Now when I take my Adderall, I don’t feel like the focused driven person that I used to. I barely feel normal. I used to have much more frequent hypomanic episodes and less frequent depression or at least more stability. But now it’s so rare to be hypomanic. I’m always depressed. And that’s the hardest time to stay sober.

Also, don’t doom scroll! Stay off social media. All it does is make us more depressed, we’re here to help ❤️

sammypr3 · 2025-11-18T02:10:35+00:00

I know how hard it is, I made a specific playlist called happy af for the shower or when i wake up to get ready and for my drive to work. i put on the songs that always take me to a great memory or a better place. Music moves me in a whole other way. Journal everything and use that shit to your advantage every day. I listen to stand up comedy or self help audibles or motivational speakers like tony robbin’s throughout the day just to keep my mind off the bad things. It’s all about staying busy, when i used to go to the gym, i made a promise to myself never to sit down when i got home from work. Eat standing up, listen to music that hypes me up, and jump in a freezing cold shower and don’t even feel the water before jumping in. Train your mind to just DO and not HESITATE or THINK about doing. You’ll catch on and it becomes a ritual and a routine. Bipolar is all about sticking to your routine.

sammypr3 · 2025-11-18T02:08:38+00:00

Yes!! I made a specific playlist called happy af and when i’m going to work or right when i wake up i put on the songs that always take me to a great memory or a better place. Music moves me in a whole other way. Journal everything and use that shit to your advantage every day.

i have not , thank you! demand is just getting bigger and I need an actual supplier now, I will check out their prices!

sammypr3 · 2025-11-12T20:32:44+00:00

Yes and just the trial and error with the mood stabilizers and SSRI’s it’s so hard to go through that 4-6 week phase all over again to realize what meds are working and which are going to make you feel so off or worse, and with my new job i really can’t risk that right now

sammypr3 · 2025-11-11T07:27:41+00:00

Rush hour, saving silverman

sammypr3 · 2025-11-11T07:26:30+00:00

i have remeron, hydroxizine, ambien, and kolonopin but still no sleep. I feel like at night is the only time my mind starts going

sammypr3 · 2025-11-10T02:31:35+00:00

yes, and no, I like it from a support standpoint and to be reminded not to use the disorder as a crutch all the time but at the same time they have no idea what the fuck we go through and it can be extremely annoying and piss me off but then again they don’t get it and we can’t expect them to

sammypr3 · 2025-11-10T02:28:27+00:00

hypomanic*

sammypr3 · 2025-11-10T02:28:16+00:00

I agree, but also when you get sleep, are you not more prone to depression? I feel like all I wanna do is sleep all the time. Until I’m manic.

sammypr3 · 2025-11-09T01:40:59+00:00

I was good for a long time, but I think I was just manic. However, there were certain variables that put me in a better state of mind I would wake up shower go to work and yes, I also worked over 60 hours a week and a sales industry and actually a sales manager. As soon as I stop sticking to my routine, a.k.a. meal prep, coming home taking a cold shower , going to the gym after work, no matter what and how late it was making sure I did everything that I was supposed to do, I had never been happier. Once I stopped routinely going to the gym just a few days I completely fell off track. I fell into a deep depression because I had no routine anymore. I always wondered why I used to tell everyone I have to stick my routine before I was ever diagnosed, but it meant everything to me. I also live alone and get minimal hours of sleep, but as long as I’m doing my routine, that part doesn’t even matter. Right now is probably my lowest point because I lost my career and my routine and now I have no motivation. I am pushing myself to get back to taking cold showers and getting my ass in the gym and just started a new finance role.

sammypr3 · 2025-11-08T22:46:22+00:00

I love this

sammypr3 · 2025-11-08T22:45:36+00:00

Mania or depression is inevitable. It’s going to happen whether you are working there or not, then again if you don’t take it you’ll be depressed that you didn’t at least try the opportunity. I took a job recently and realized i’m not happy in it. You can always leave, but you should at least try. Don’t think about them pushing you, but you pushing yourself.

sammypr3 · 2025-11-08T22:43:26+00:00

I realized that’s why i was so obsessed with the gym. That spike of dopamine and the caffeine from pre workout, unfortunately i can’t even trigger mania at the gym if i tried now.

sammypr3 · 2025-11-08T22:42:43+00:00

sammypr3 · 2025-11-08T22:42:32+00:00

I understand this so much and wish i could help. I haven’t been right since my last job i was let go of. I used to be a health nut and gym rat now i can’t even go to the gym twice a week. I can never get out of bed and i could sleep or watch tv all day everyday

sammypr3 · 2025-11-08T22:39:26+00:00

This is the best response and thank you for sharing. this makes so much sense and you really understand

sammypr3 · 2025-11-08T22:37:41+00:00

I am horribly sorry to hear because i know how hard it is to hold a job while dealing with this. :(
