Hey! So I haven’t had a hypomanic episode at all this year. I can’t even remember my last one tbh. I’m not on meds, but have been working really hard on self care and going to therapy. I’ve also been going through a bit of a rough patch too. I’m wondering if anyone else has gone months without hypomania? Did I somehow grow out of this..? I want to be prepared for another episode if I find out that this is normal. Thanks!

I want to preface this by saying I’m not a doctor or professional so please take everything I say at face value- I personally don’t know much about being unmedicated and the periods between hypomanic episodes, but my guess would be that you could have months of stability. I’ve been on the proper meds for about 3 years now and had one hypomanic episode about 2 years after I started those meds, but haven’t had one since, so I do know that it’s possible to go very long periods of time without having episodes when medicated. Does anyone else have any thoughts/experiences they’d like the share? -M ..read more

To that last anon: mixing depressants and stimulants in high doses like that is extremely dangerous and could put you at risk of severely harming yourself and even death. please do not mix these substances and reach out for help if you can.

When you end up too depressed to cook or drink water for too long and you feel sickly in the dead of night and you start thinking about how a friend you thought was changing and healing has fucking betrayed you again and again and you just fucking HATE them so much and you just want to scream and cry and sleep for days

I don’t know what’s happening and right now i’m in the middle of self diagnosing myself, and feeling comfortable with the idea that i might be sick all the sites that i’ve seen mention that suicidal thoughts are a very common thing when it comes to the depressive state but i don’t feel suicidal i feel down and sad and helpless and i might hurt myself in other ways (like not putting a blanket on or wearing a jacket when i’m shivering because i feel like i don’t deserve it) does..

I’m not a doctor or professional so please remember that everything I say is based solely on the experiences I’ve had and the wisdom I’ve gained from those experiences. Personally, I’m very against self diagnosing. It’s impossible for us to not be biased towards ourselves, especially when we aren’t feeling super stable. That’s why it’s important to see a professional that can remain unbiased and can properly assess, diagnose, and treat you. I know not everyone has adequate access to basic mental health care and that’s bs, but I’d encourage you to be very mindful about self diagnosis. In regard ..read more

You spend hours in obsessive rage about a girl you haven’t seen in years that was mean but you still kinda liked in high school and end up sending her a friend request on facebook even though she was really cruel and you’ve been avoiding her for years and to her you’re just some gay mentally ill girl who, like her, was never afraid to state your opinions

Does anybody here work night shifts? I’m just wondering what it is like with BP. Any tips for someone working night shifts with BP? Or is it best to avoid jobs that require you to work them?

I haven’t worked them but my psychiatrist has strongly opposed the possibility of it ever occurring because she’s worried it’ll trigger an episode. Has anyone else experienced this and has more experience based wisdom and advice? -Mod Sarah ..read more
