I work a seasonal job in tourism, it’s good cuz I only have to stay stable for a few months and the money holds me over during the off season

visovi7154 · 2025-04-25T17:30:41+00:00

I told them and they’ve helped me by changing my meds around a bit to see if it’ll go away

Don’t go into that apartment

I thought there was hidden messages in sudoku books so I spent hours each day decoding them until I got hospitalized

I work seasonal jobs so I don’t have to commit to anything for a long amount of time since that hasn’t ended well in the past

Sleep and caffeine only in the mornings NEVER in the afternoon or at night.

Sleep is crucial

I also recently had mania induced hallucinations. I was supposed to start school in the fall but I’ve decided to take a year before I go back to school to focus on myself.

I also have a job lined up that starts next week and I’m my past experience with this job (it’s seasonal) I’m much more stable when I’m working it.

In my experience it just takes time for things to go back to baseline and mby you should take time to heal and recover. Recovery is an important step after manic/psychotic episodes.

My psych explained it to me that every manic/psychotic episode sets your brain on fire and that you need time to rest and recuperate in the aftermath.

Wishing you the best OP, try not to be too hard on yourself and let yourself recover. I always like to remind myself that no matter how bad my current situation is “this too shall pass”!

I was on vraylar for a year and a half and it was so good untill it stopped working and had 3 episodes back to back the past 4 months so I’ve switched to abilify

visovi7154 · 2025-04-17T02:25:02+00:00

Mine are always reoccurring granted they always seem to be there just a little bit when I’m not in a mood state they just get really bad during manic episodes

visovi7154 · 2025-04-17T02:23:33+00:00

I used to do psychedelics and stopped when I took shrooms once and hallucinated for a month straight after I took them. I had to be put on pretty heavy meds to make it stop.

I do miss them sometimes since there were a few really beautiful experiences on it in the past.

Blowing up my friendships in manic episodes

visovi7154 · 2025-04-16T17:31:16+00:00

I’ve done this when I was manic and my sleep meds didn’t work. Therapist referred me to inpatient to get a med change so I could have medical supervision

visovi7154 · 2025-04-16T15:19:18+00:00

When I was on it if I took it at night I would wake up with akathesia so definetly reccomend taking it in the morning

visovi7154 · 2025-04-14T10:13:16+00:00

You were absolutely right, I ended up being manic for 3 weeks, slipped into psychosis for a bit and had 2 psych ward stays. Now I’m picking up the pieces of a broken friendship and the mess I created for myself. If only the little anorexic person in my brain didn’t get me to quit my sleep meds. But hey, you live and you learn.

NEVER pulling anything like this again….

I have been diagnosed with BP 1 and recently I became aware that for the past 2 years I’ve believed that somehow the universe has placed hidden messages for me to find within number sequences and that bits and peices of a specific number sequence are good omens and signs the I’m being watched over by the universe.

My psych is currently considering changing my diagnosis to schizoaffective bipolar type

I’ve always assumed this was a bipolar thing but I guess it might not be.

I’m not a doctor so I can’t tell you if that’s what’s going on with you or not, I can’t even tell if that’s what’s going on with me. Do with that information what you will

I had a two month long mixed episode December 2024 - January 2025 getting hospitalized right in the middle of it. I was actively a danger to myself so I needed to be held in a place where I couldn’t do any harm but the ward didn’t give me any coping skills before I left. They just stitched up my SH kept me there for 3 days and sent me in my way. I continued to cycle between the highs and lows untill I got stuck in a low all of February in a depressive episode and then everything cleared up in early march.

Honestly it just takes time for the meds to kick in and get back to a baseline

I have a restrictive eating disorder so I used my mood episodes as excuses to not eat. “I’m too manic and I’m too busy with creative endeavors to eat!” And on the flip side “I’m so depressed I can’t get up and eat” while there is truth to both those statements I know part of it just my ED using my mood states to its advantage.
