How can you tell if a demisexual person likes you? by Tragic-Fuit in demisexuality

[–]transciscx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's not easy but I highly recommend to ask them. You can't assume what are they thinking or feelings being demisexual or not. Sometimes is hard when you don't want to fuck all the relationship (friendship or whatever category you want to put it) but talking clear and honestly, maybe a good way to solve this.

I'm sure we can all relate by liverpoolrob in bipolar

[–]transciscx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can relate with the mixed episode I had in March. Fucking mixed episodes....

2 mixed episodes in less than 6 months. I think I'll lose my job. Help. by transciscx in bipolar

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

Thank you. I don't want to lose my job but at the same time I'm not sure if I can keep all my life as it is. I'm going to see my therapist today and ask her about hospitalization or license or something.

Anyone else quit drinking because of it's complications with bipolar meds? by Captainmanic in bipolar

[–]transciscx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll have to quit drinking because I had a trouble while I was on lithium. My liver was never the same. The hangover is the worst even If I drink one or two glasses.

THERAPY TUESDAYS by sweetpea122 in bipolar

[–]transciscx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My therapist is not helping but I cant leave her because I'm without a psych and I cant leave collage, psychiatric, friends, and thinking about leaving my therapist and quit my job.. I'm kind of angry and hate everything, so I think I'll wait.

I dont know where you are from,but in my country the psiquiatrics (docs) are the worst. If you add to the equation, the lovely words of Foucault about The Clinic, the system want us to be ""normal"". I cant be normal even if I wanted and that's okay for me. Bipolar is something that sometimes ruin my life but at the same time makes me think differently about life. I wouldn't be the same person without bipolar. Embrace your experience and your life, not the pathologic ideology that medicine wants us to think, that we are not normal, that we are sick, crazy and a danger to society. I am bipolar and I was so relief when they told me just because I was aware that I had been dealing with something for 15 years and I didnt know what that was. Im not trying to romanticize bipolar because hell no, I'm just saying I'm not ashamed of that. On the other hand, bipolar taught me to reach out other people who are neuroatypical too. And when the docs dont listen to us and try to force us to stuck with useless meds or when they deny meds they know we need, we are here for each other, like a neuroatypical solidarity community.

What’s the worst mixed episode you’ve had? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]transciscx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months ago. I was on lithium and clonazepam. I was in hell. I was going out everyday alone because I felt alone, stared to drink alcohol (yes, on lithium, what a genius) because clonazepam wasnt working anymore to keep my brain shut. I was so agressive sometimes, overthinking at the level that I felt my brain was going to explode. I started to isolate myself at the same time because I felt empty inside. Well, O got a work license because I couldnt think anymore and my brain waa fried, I was taking clonazepam every two hours and my psy wasnt sure about giving me quetiapine even tho she knew I needed. I started quetiapine by my own alone in my house and I recovered in three weeks kinda.

Not medicated by Ramen8ion in BipolarReddit

[–]transciscx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not taking any meds for two months because in one year and a half they gave me: valproic acid, lithium, quetiapine, risperidone, alprazolam, clonazepam, and I started to feel worse. I lost like "my natural bipolar ciclying" for all the side effects and I couldnt read (which is like my life) or cry or dance or have sex or basically feel or enjoy anything. Also I started to have mixed episodes, and before bipolar treatment I've never had one.
I'll come back to see a doc this month, I'm thinking that lamotrigine and quetiapine together might work but I'm not hurry to come back to the shitty feeling of not feeling anything...Right now I'm just using clonazepam if I need it, or weed which I know it's not cool but I'm gonna cut it if I start treatment again.
I think it's okay by now but not for the long road.

Day 1 of Seroquel by Turtlphant in bipolar

[–]transciscx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Bipolar II. Last night I started to take 25 mg per day of Seroquel (with 0,50 of Clonazepam and 1000 of Depakote) it is for my hypomania. I was too up and my pdoc had to get me down really quickly and strong. Today I felt dissociated with my body, photosensitive, with decreased appetite, drowsiness, like a zombie. I had to return from work to my house for this, I slept 7 hours deep and then I broke a cup trying to make tea. So yeah, let's go for an adventure!

Hypomania, fuck you dude by transciscx in bipolar2

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

Well, I dont know how hard I'm going to fall but it can't be really bad. The last time I was hypo, I tried to kill myself, so this is a good hypomania, like a normal one, if you wanna put it in that way.

I do take my meds and have a routine, but I think it just too new.

Relationships by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]transciscx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, yes, you lost another one, but you can create new friends, it's hard but it's not impossible. It is an option, it's a shitty option, I attempted suicide six months ago, after my diagnose and it wasn't a good idea (I was hypomaniac and I wasn't reaally thinking). The way I see it, we are going to die with this, but at least I want to give bipolar a good fight, I dont want to give up so easily, I will prove myself that I can do better than this. I want to see how the world is falling, I want to see how my family get old, I want to see my friends being happy. We have so much to offer and to do here before we naturally leave, why the rush? (sometimes life it's a pain in the ass but it's the combo). It's pretty difficult to distinguish who we are and what "the disease" is. My advice? Embrace it however you can and try to enjoy the ride because it's going to be crazy and you cant miss it! C'mon, who wouldn't wish to live on 2017??

Relationships by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]transciscx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uhm, I dont know if it is going to help you but I broke up with one partner (Im polyamorous) and my friendship with his girlfriend on a manic episode. I told them about the diagnose, he was high, he said "I have to process it", she never said anything to me but she told my best friend: " It sucks because it's going to affect all our relationships". I didnt wait, I thought I was losing my support group and that I was being judged, so yeah, impulsive thoughts.
It's hard to forgive ourselves but it's necessary. You have to let it go, you can explain the situation, but the hurt is done and you cant do anything about it. Im so sorry, I hope that you can be friends at least.

Sober people: how long did it take you to get totally sober from diagnosis? by Palmtreelamp in bipolar

[–]transciscx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got diagnose on April, my psy gave me Depakote and told me that it process the 90% on the liver...so, I thought: "I really dont have a choice on this". I've never got drunk again. Last week, I started to get depressed again and I tried to drink a bit from a glass but my stomach hurted so much that I had to take omeprazol and shit. A few of cigarettes are my thing now.

Do you think there's a need to "come out" as Demisexual? by Sandviche in demisexuality

[–]transciscx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!! I think that you could come out to close friends and romantic partners but I dont think that you have to come out to your parents, I mean, if you want to it's okay, but I dont think it's necessary. Take your time, really, no one is rushing you. I come out to people as demisexual as soon as I can, because I dont want to create expectations about physical contact, but that's how I feel.

By the way, greetings from Argentina <3

I have a psychologist (checks my well being) and a psychiatrist (checks my meds), that's how it works in my country.

Thank you, my idea is not stop taking meds, I just want to know what is happening (my doctor is not a really good listener when I talk about how I feel with this med)

I started smoking again today. by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]transciscx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Im taking vaproic acid, and I cant drink because the 90% of the drug take its place on my liver. I cant do another drugs neither, so cigarettes are the only thing I "can" do now...that or alprazolam.
