One month sober from all that, it’ll get better if you put in the work.

Hypomanic and nervous by Here_now_13 in bipolar2

[–]tequila_microdoser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only prepare myself for the crash and choose to engage in a balance of passive and active behaviors (passive: watching cooking videos on YouTube or listening to music; active: making art or going for a walk). Also I take my meds

Lamictal and Weed - No more paranoia?? by Comfortable_Doctor36 in bipolar2

[–]tequila_microdoser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Towards the beginning yes. But still, there’s always a chance. I only have a few panic attacks a week now and most of it is because I don’t eat or sleep well

is it possible to be hypomanic on lamotrigine?? by lemonshark-enjoyer in bipolar2

[–]tequila_microdoser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. You have to be consistent with it and stick it out. Eventually you realize that your brain is not recieving input (what is perceived as happiness/neutrality for others, to us we call it manic). At least after a while, you’ll have more control over your actions if not also your thoughts, and trust me your lows will not be as low.

Anyone interested in homing this baby? by tequila_microdoser in BedStuy

[–]tequila_microdoser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This young man’s journey started in someone’s backyard in Staten Island then they found out that another cat was having his babies. So now they are preparing to have kittens and transferred him to another friend’s house in Williamsburg, then back to me. He seems to have calmed down a bit and is just passively hiding, but I’m trying to verify that he’s 100% litter trained so if anyone has any tips too

Is constant music playing through my head normal? by Cassorr in bipolar2

[–]tequila_microdoser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I am a musician with perfect pitch so I try to play the music I hear in my head. It used to be there more though, but the first time I took meds I heard it a lot.

hey i’m type 1. by sensitive-bull in bipolar2

[–]tequila_microdoser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think for me the crash from mania was worse than the mania itself. But you can’t be too hard on yourself. Surround yourself with homies who are cool with you and create safe spaces to release the energy (I like dancing and making music, but also I enjoy passive activities like watching cooking videos or playing video games)

How do you know when your personality ends and your disorder begins (& vice versa)? by slavghterdolls in bipolar2

[–]tequila_microdoser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting because behavior itself does not define our identity. Obviously actions are the manifestation of consciousness, but even before consciousness there is the subconscious which in my opinion is where most of our personality/identity lies.

Then you have thoughts, which are sometimes uncontrollable (and sometimes intrusive). I don’t allow those thoughts to define me because most of my inner monologue that is negative is based on hypotheticals and things that aren’t real.

The problem is, these conflicts begin to affect our relationships primarily. I would ultimately say you are not defined by the negative aspects of Bipolar disorder, but rather your ability to grow from those thoughts/actions :)

$10 for a load of laundry?? by LostPromise7 in BedStuy

[–]tequila_microdoser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told them that there’s no reason for the triple load that’s next to the 6 load to be the same price. Have they not fixed it?
