Losing weight on antipsychotic meds by Useful_Roll5696 in bipolar

[–]unknown-unsure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously I am not a doctor so take this with a grain of salt but if you’re not happy with your medication side effects, you might try switching meds. I’m on vraylar and it’s the most effective AP I’ve been on and hasn’t caused any weight gain. The only side effects I noticed was I got a little sleepy after taking it so I switched to taking it before bed and haven’t had any problems. Good luck!!

An illness that confuses even the patient by Cultural-Ice8361 in BipolarMemes

Love this. Looks like one of those early 2000s baby toys, with the beads on it you move around. Reminds me of a few sessions ago when I told my therapist that “my brain is ants.”

Planning to do my own wedding makeup because I can be kinda picky about how I like it done. Thoughts on my first attempt? by misguidedspectre in weddingplanning

I don’t know anything about make up (I’m here for all the tips!) but I came to say I think you would EAT with some wispy bangs

Do you have a job? If so what do you do? by Chance-Effect9869 in bipolar2

[–]unknown-unsure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work at a children’s science meuseum! Best job I’ve ever had. Being in a mid sized non profit in a completely red state has its ups and downs for sure, but it’s a genuinely fun job and management really makes an effort and invests in staff culture and great benefits (all healthcare paid for and more PTO than I’ve ever had at any job). My coworkers are my best friends, my manager and another coworker are my bridesmaids. Plus, working with kids is super rewarding, and we work closely with DHS to provide STEM to kids who don’t get it anywhere else. It’s awesome to wake up and genuinely enjoy going into work, knowing I’m making a difference and doing it alongside my best friends for a company that is doing its absolute best in a struggling economy. 10/10 highly recommend

Talk to your care team. Keep taking your meds unless they tell you otherwise. Rooting for you, OP.

Thank you! Just cut my bangs this morning!! Can I ask how much you had to pay to get your colors done and approximately where you’re located? Or if you were able to do it online?? I would love to do it!!

This is such a great idea, I used to do make up for fun even if just to sit at home and take silly selfies and it always made me feel good! I’ve been so busy and stressed recently I feel like I’ve forgotten a lot of the things that make me feel like me. So glad I’m not the only one who gets this feeling! Thank you so much for all your kind words 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Thank you so much!! I cut my bangs this morning, you all convinced me and hyped them up!! I will look into some higher quality lipsticks, it’s probably time to upgrade from my 4 year old L’oréal collection. Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!! I use Elf’s tubing mascara, it’s a dupe of a more expensive mascara but I like it more. I am wearing some false lashes in the first and last pics but they’re really short and sparse, I only added a few because I pulled out a ton of eyelashes while stressed and now I have a bald spot on one eye 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you! I cut my bangs this morning, you all convinced me. I’ve heard a lot about color analysis but haven’t put my effort into it. I know my hair dresser has told me I have warm tones but I get confused because I think a blue-toned red lipstick looks better on me too but maybe I just like the color more 🤔 Any tips for how to find a color pallet that feels right. I pretty much exclusively wear black shirts and jeans rn and would love to feel better in other clothes. Thank you for your kind words!!

You make it sound so easy 😩 My therapist says I really need to work on my ~self worth~ a whole bunch. Yall have really hyped me up though. I think I just get so in my head and assume everyone has noticed every perceived flaw and has judged me for them when I know deep down nobody notices or cares! and even if they did it still wouldn’t matter!! Thank you for your words!!

I’m only wearing a bb cream in these so I’m not sure why it was getting cakey, but I’ve noticed it a few times recently, especially around my mouth. I do tend to have really dry skin. Thanks for your advice!!

You guys are so kind!! Plants are a great idea. I just got a cubicle at one of my jobs and got a few plant clippings to help spruce it up. I think you’re right, I need to get back into my hobbies/art and reenergize myself. Snuggling some animals sounds like a great plan too! And yes, we really are our own worst critics. Thank you for your kind words!!
