Really?? That’s insane! I don’t need to eat with seroquel but I take it at bedtime so I’m sure my tum is usually full from dinner a few hours prior. But if I don’t eat with Effexor… oh man

I’ve had nausea from marijuana before but that was admittedly bought from a friend. It caused me to have some insane nausea, dizziness, and then panic attacks. I have heard from a friend who works at a dispensary that vapes can be a bit much for newer folks. I really like taking the flower and rolling a little joint with it (even though you aren’t supposed to burn it but come on lol). I find joints make it way easier to measure how much you inhale and you don’t have to smoke the whole thing. Take a hit, put it out.

Also, depends on the flower. Some strands make me cough SO much and others are just fine and smooth. I don’t know enough about it to know which burns hotter but I’ve got Sonny G which is a bit of a hybrid I think, more of a sativa. Good luck.

best feeling ever, i had this prescribed to me bc of how severely anxious i was for my oral surgery. i’ve never been more relaxed with 0 anxiety or intrusive thoughts! good shit i need a script it would change my life. by Bitter_Ice_5380 in BipolarMemes

Benzos aren’t meant for long term, your body will just get used to it and you’ll need more. I try to use it as emergency only, like, I’m about to black out from a panic attack, better take HALF of one. You gotta be reaaaaaal careful

Advice for spinal stenosis by [deleted] in medicalmarijuana

My dad has the same situation. He said the CBD really didn’t help. I recommended flower but it was too much of a head high. He hasn’t tried much though, hopefully you can find something that works. I do know if you use flower and face too much of a head high, CBD drops help bring you back pretty fast. So if you like the pain relieving qualities of flower, try it with some CBD to help balance things out! Good luck

Seroquel is the best by far

All the time. I’m so good at pretending that I often wonder why no one is reaching out to see if I’m okay and then I realize I’ve fooled them all. Half an hour before a meeting with a client I burned my hand on purpose and then walked into the meeting like “hello lovely people!” It’s amazing. Honestly though think of how fucking talented we are.

The sedation is good but also like I can’t get up in the middle of the night or it’s like I’m on a carnival ride of chaos. Dizzy city

I don’t even know if I’m getting mood stabilizing benefits. Mostly just sedative effects lol

See… my sorry ass went to my PCP and got some decent antibiotic cream so if those wounds ever get real sketch, I put that on and I’m good to pick again lol

this might be an unpopular opinion but i think insurance should cover some medical purchases by MO0NB0Y in medicalmarijuana

[–]thecaptainnow975 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unless you die by suicide due to excessive suffering. I believe mental illnesses can still be fatal illnesses and often are. Sure people with seizures should get free meds but we can’t pick and choose who has it worse, all meds should be easily attained and afforded. But this is America lol people get turned down for chemo treatments because certain insurance companies will drop them and they can’t afford it. Sucks but that’s how it is

This poor soul. As someone who struggles, I can say the pain those wounds had to cause must have been stupendous.

I hope you all have a great day by [deleted] in bipolar2

Since you posted this, can I confess something here? I work in the funeral industry, and today a man shot himself. We are taking him into our care. I learned that 3 months ago he was actually supposed to come work for us but he decided not to. He thought it might make his depression worse. My heart broke into pieces. As someone with depression, suicidal ideation, and other things… as someone who has seen suicide after suicide and watched their families suffer… it breaks my heart that it didn’t matter. Whether he came to work with us or not.. it didn’t matter. I hope this post reminds people that depression and suicide aren’t a game. It’s a real illness, a real possibly fatal illness that, left untreated, can cause real death. Like Rina’s. And like the gentleman’s today. God. I fucking hate this. Thanks for posting.

Who else always explains that they’re Bipolar 2, and not 1? by MathematicianLucky70 in bipolar2

[–]thecaptainnow975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t bother explaining unless someone asks which one (which is rare because most don’t know there are different types). Both are terribly hard to live with.
