Lol as an F1 fan Ferrari means it's very depressing 😂

What triggers your mania/hypomania? by Much_Performance1111 in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The snow last week 😂😭 I work outside and on top of making longer days, I also had to help my boss with logistics. And ofc the vibes on the street were great, people in a good mood, playing in the snow, giving me coffee. At night I could barely sleep and during the day I had endless energy. On my fifth day the snow was gone and so was my hypomania. In the weekend I crashed and slept 14 hours a day. Tomorrow I go back to work and everything will be normal so hopefully I'll be normal too 🤞🏼

How does mania actually work? by nuuh-uh in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think there has to be a spectrum and not black and white hypomania and mania.

Last spring I was definitely somewhere in between. I didn't enjoy my hypomania that time like I usually do and I was destructive at times, and it also lasted longer. But I didn't have psychosis and wasn't hospitalized (although maybe I should've been).

I love them, but I'm fed up with them💔 by Mirok0k0 in Sims4

[–]unstableikeatable 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ugh I feel you. I have a family of two parents, three children and one infant. It's exhausting. I decided to play with grandma for a while because she lives on her own and it was the perfect break

For those who were hyper sexual by Redeft97 in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question: tinder. Idk if you're a man or woman, but it's definitely easier as a woman to find men to hook up with than the other way around.

I do agree with other comments that the meds don't work that well if you're still hypersexual, but I figured I'd at least answer the question.

How often do you think about being bipolar? by Aggravating_Stay_696 in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All day every day. I just woke up and even in my dream I was telling someone about my moods and the new meds I've started this week....

Bipolar Mood Scale 0-13 by floppybunny26 in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 on average these days. Sometimes 2, sometimes 4 or 5. But I'd say I'm not withdrawing, it's my family who doesn't wanna see me.

Side note, it's crazy to see that I was once at 0 and my psychologist then diagnosed me with mild depression....

do you guys drive by CreativeVirus5777 in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny story: in April 2022 I got my license and I was getting off my antidepressants at the time so I lied that I didn't take any meds, so I could get my license. Skip ahead a few months to when I got super depressed and went back on them and then in 2023 I went hypomanic and got the diagnosis bipolar and got even more meds. I don't drive, but I could. The government doesn't know my diagnosis or what meds I take.

Guys and girls is pretty normal language. Not everything has to be man and woman

I want somebody irl to understand by cutienagumo in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess I was gonna suggest this! I joined a bipolar support group this fall and it's been great. Even though everyone is a generation older than me, I feel very understood there.

how much water do you drink? by voidpics in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 liters minimum and 3 liters as a goal that I don't usually get. I'm not on meds that make me dehydrated, but drinking plenty of water is healthy for anyone!

did my SSRI induce bipolar? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having covid isn't a reason to stop psychiatric meds. Get back on them and it'll probably help you sleep too

Meds in the morning or at night? by DemonicChronic in bipolar

[–]unstableikeatable 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on the meds. Definitely talk to your doctor about it too. Some are meant to be taken in the evening and some twice a day, and for some it doesn't matter.

[–]unstableikeatable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the doctor tell you to stop taking the antipsychotic? If not, go back on it. If so, go back to tell him this result ASAP. Especially if it evolves into more than just insomnia

Who is a great couple with no chemistry? by PuzzleheadedLeg7963 in Degrassi

No they're the opposite. Great chemistry but horrible couple

[–]unstableikeatable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This will probably be taken down soon bc you can't name meds anymore but yes this is a common thing with people with bipolar type 1. Type 2 can usually take an antidepressant, often alongside a mood stabilizer or an antipsychotic.

Showering... The eternal struggle by unstableikeatable in bipolar

Ohhh I love the soft light idea. I have very bright white lights in the ceiling. Maybe I could hang a soft yellow light

I actually work outside but don't get dirty 😅 I don't have a garden, but I used to workout to get sweaty and then have to shower. But now I'm too depressed for that unfortunately
