does anyone else have problems with paranoia? mine is so crippling and it makes me feel so helpless. the latest thing i’ve been paranoid about is someone lacing my food with drugs or i’m gonna get sick in public. it’s causing me to completely isolate from anyone and tbh sending me into a massive depressive episode. i haven’t taken any medication for this bc i’m scared to (i almost committed when i was on prozac). i’m just so tired of living my life in fear and anxiety.

After months of feeling well and neutral, I didn’t feel myself yesterday and couldn’t put my finger on what it was. I thought maybe I had a little bit of anxiety. The signs were there not getting out of bed until the last minute before needing to log into work, not walking the dog, craving unhealthy foods to feel something. But today I feel that black cloud over me that shadow creeping in and sucking all the joy and hope out of me. I can feel the tiredness increasing and emotional blunting setting in.
I hate this illness

I was a pack a day cigarette smoker for 28 years and last year, managed to kick cigarettes and switch to vaping with a Juul. Unfortunately, this is just as bad if not worse in terms of how mich nicotine I’m sucking down every day, and it’s still expensive.
One of the therapists in IOP suggested I might want to try Chantix to quit once and for all and seemed to think it would be ok with my meds. I’m on 300mg of Lamotrigine and 10mg of Lexapro currently. Does anyone on similar meds have experience here, especially in terms of whether it negatively impacted mixed states, cognition or memory?

Hi everyone, I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar 2 about 2-3 weeks ago, and was prescribed Lamotrigine. I just upped my dosage to 50mg from 25mg as prescribed, and in my most recent meeting with my nurse practitioner, I was prescribed Trazodone to help treat some insomnia I’ve been having. While I trust her judgement, I’ve been reading a lot about how it is supposedly an antidepressant, and I’ve seen that antidepressants have a tendency to lead someone with bipolar into mania. I was just curious if anyone has any personal experience with this before I start mixing the medications. Thank you ..read more

Talking to a diagnosed something(don’t wanna say what it is due to the judgment and stigma) and we’re really really getting along. Fuck it I’ll say what it is -ASPD. He mentioned he’s mentally ill- not an asshole. We relate on a lot of things and he’s never surprised or shocked about what I tell him in a good way. It’s got me thinking… maybe this is the way? He’s also medicated.

I always thought I had just tpmd and then I discovered that you can have tdpm and bipolar. Basically I turn into a sad monster after ovulating.

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing okay at least. I'm currently a junior at a great university, but heavily, heavily struggling. I have been in such a horrible depression that makes it so difficult to get up for classes better yet, just take care of myself. I feel so incredibly guilty but I literally don't have the energy to even cry about it anymore. I'm in danger of failing 2 courses (that are literally easy classes vs my upper chem class that's fine grade wise so like wtf lol). I hate myself so deeply right now but I don't have the will to fix anything. My professors are mostly consid ..read more

The one thing that has made my journey with BP2 easier is my financial situation. I was lucky to develop BP2 after almost 10 years of working during which I had bought a car, bought land and built rental units. FYI, I still pay rent despite being a landlord elsewhere. I am not married yet, maybe in the next two years. I am not a mother yet, maybe in the next 5 years when I can afford a surrogate (I will use my egg). Then during my depressive episodes, I don't spend much which means that I end up with savings that I would have normally used up. During hypomania I waste money on food and mentor ..read more

For context, I just got divorced. Found out in 11/23 and was finalized in 1/24. My wife left me. Ofc the first month was rough but afterward I started to feel really good. I felt like my whole life was coming together and like a weight had been lifted from my back. Got a cat and basically directly into new relationship. Am Autistic and have felt markedly more social and less overstimulated. Have been able to handle socializing nearly every day for the last 4 months(lonely from divorce???) Then kept feeling very good, difficulty sleeping off and on but nothing crazy. Markedly less tired in the ..read more
