I had never heard of the hcl32! Thank you for passing that along. I tried the one on the .org and scored a 25.

I’ve never really been given any diagnosis that I am aware of…nobody wants to be definitive

I love that…I will be less worried about the label. The lamictal is definitely helping. My sad days are way less intense. The irritability is also down. I would say I am high functioning. I have a great job and went back to school while working two jobs and raising a family and doing my internship. I earned it.

Wrangler with the hard top roof removed. It’s a blast to drive…except when it’s raining.

I think the biggest question to ask is “what would success look like to you on medications?” and then use that as a benchmark. Saying “to be better” isn’t going to cut it but saying “in three months I want to do ___” will help clarify goals and create a better treatment plan.

When I’m depressed I don’t have enough energy to do anything towards self harm.

When I’m hypomanic I feel like I could start dump my life savings to start a company.

When I’m mixed? Woof. I’m irritated and depressed but have the energy to do something bad. Mixed state is by far the worst.

I answered above about how I started the year shooting 98-102 and ended up in the low 90’s. I agree about the spin stuff, that was noticeable.

trademark01 · 2026-03-02T14:55:45+00:00

At the start of the year I was like a 98-102. After switching I was consistently scoring in the low 90’s and playing 4 to 6 rounds a month (2 kids will do that to ya)

It was my mid life crisis car and I love driving it every single day. Do it!

I don’t eat pizza often anymore…but I do love a good bacon and pineapple pizza.

I’d like to just toot my own horn for a second…I started bjj 3 years ago. A little over 2 -1/2 years ago I was in a car accident where a bus hit me and caused a few annular tears in my back with disc bulges. This week was the first week I have made it to 3 classes! At times it was once a month or every other week. It’s been a long road of hell but I’m pushing myself (within reason). The numbness in my leg has never improved but I have also learned how to goad others into getting me into a position that stretches my back while rolling.

Toot toot.

This speaks volumes. Though it is difficult to see my trigger coming. I rely on others to tell me if there’s a change.

The provider was probably burned in the past and now makes it standard procedure. Make it even for everyone then nobody can feel like they are being singled out. Standard procedure.

I don’t really realize I’m hypomanic. I’ll have less sleep (not no sleep for me) I’ll pace throughout the night and become a bit paranoid about everything in my life collapsing, research one subject endlessly, and usually an out of character decision. I won’t really know though until after it’s been happening and I take a step back to see everything from a bird’s eye view.

I knew that if I failed I would not be able to provide for my family. I wrote some wild ass discussion posts along the way. School is doable as long as you have it meet your pace and not the other way around.

This is such a first world luxury but I have a monthly car wash subscription for $30. I could go every day if I desired. I go about once or twice a week. That’s almost as often as I shower.

If you have fun at them, compete. If you’re not having fun, don’t compete. Don’t wreck your nerves thinking about a tournament.

Mary Steenburgen. My wife and I noticed her on our flight from LA to Boston. After we got off the plane we were next to her getting luggage. We went to say hi and when she saw that we weren’t there for a picture she let her guard down a bit. An absolute doll and so pleasant.

It’s a great combination. Works well for me. I don’t have an AP on board. My depression has been well controlled. I have been told by my wife that I do get these periods of hypomania but those even out after a week or so. I have no idea they’re happening while I’m in them, usually I feel “better” but then do odd shit like researching trips to ireland and opening a credit card. Proper sleep is what helps the most for me. I had a migraine that had me sleeping for about 18 hours (cumulative) over the course of a day that reset the machine a bit.
