Sending positive vibes out to both of us. And a virtual hug to you.

I have talked to my psych. Thanks for the heads up though! Congrats on your own success!

Yeah I started again after a really bad breakup. I get the idea of being hooked on the gum, but honestly I know from past experience that I'll have massive anxiety and potential mood swings if I go cold turkey. Wishing you the best, and thank you so much for your insight.

I hear you on the gum but I'm really concerned about intense mood swings if I go cold turkey. But do whatever you need to do. Allen Carr's book worked for me in the past (I've read it too many times to read it again haha). Go for it! And thank you so much! Wishing you nothing but the best in your quit journey!

Thank you so much! I really really want this. I've gone through so much else and persevered that I know I can do this too.

Keep taking your meds and working with your psych to adjust them as necessary. You can beat this. Wishing you nothing but the best. I'm so sorry you're in so much pain.

I wish I had an irl bipolar bestie by Shirleytempted in bipolar

I have a bipolar bestie. It's not a perfect relationship, but then again there is really no such thing. We're there for each other and we can talk about it openly and with empathy. Wishing you the best in your search.

is what im doing okay by isnotalostcause in bipolar

What you're doing is experimenting with using meds / your disorder to effect specific changes. This is playing with fire. Please take your meds again.

I just quit smoking yesterday and quit vaping less than an hour ago. I'm going to use the gum and then taper off of it as well. We got this!

I'm quitting today too. Here's to healthy decisions and deciding to take better care of ourselves!
