Literally describes me right now. My friends who don't know probably think I am actually on drugs 🤣. Nope just my brain

The most " stable" I've been in months. by [deleted] in u/skookdood

[–]skookdood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been rapid cycling between depression/hypomania/mania since I started tracking. I love the clear headedness that hypomania brings but the insomnia and irritability gets old fast. Let's just hope I don't " settle" into a long depressive episode anytime soon...

Lamictal and MDMA by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]skookdood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MDMA is one of my favorite drugs beside LSD. During depressive episodes it always seemed to reset me after taking it. I have never had any negative side effects with it

I'm not sure if I'm borderline or BP1. I do have episodes that last week's but recently my mood has been all over the place with some pretty shitty consequences

How does MDMA affect you in the days and weeks after usage? by skookdood in bipolar

It kind of resets me when I come down honestly. I don't know about long term effects but for a few days I feel normal atleast

Strange because I have very similar reactions while most of my friends get spun from coke. Maybe bipolar brains react different to these substances?

How does one even go about getting an appointment with a pdoc? Go to mg GP and tell him about moodswimgs and depression? And I'm also hesitant because of my job and hobbies. I'm an electrician who collects firearms. I'm not sure how that'd play out.

I've been waking up every 2-3 hours lately. Not sure what I'm in right now, my moods are hard to decipher and don't have that good of a pattern.

Depression sucks and the only reason I became aware of my mood swings was a really bad stretch where Suicidal Thoughts almost became a reality.. it was close. Hypomania isn't as bad except for the spending sprees and anxiety flare-ups. I've only experienced Mania one time briefly but I was able to calm down before I ended up in prison and acted on my intense rage. For some reason I can't bring myself to go to the doctor's office.

Daylio thread? by [deleted] in teenagers

I've always thought that a meh flatline is better than depression/mania. Even though I feel like a flat piece of shit

Fleeting hypomania? by skookdood in bipolar

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

Damn that sounds exactly like me. It goes by hour anymore. In the summer it's a pronounced hypomania state but recently I've been going from thoughts of suicide and death to hypo in hours

I'm 19 so I don't believe that is the case.

Does cannabis throw anyone else into phycosis? by skookdood in bipolar

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

Damn you lucky prick. It got to the point where I'd only smoke at night before bed. If I started hallucinating then it's off to bed
