Those feels. Add a little bipolar and you can switch to a jet fuel circle jerk.

Holy shit. I already knew that I'm not the only person to go through that, but it feels crazy seeing someone else write it.

I'm actually in the process of being tested for bipolar, my doctor wants to rule out every other option first. I respect that, but I need to try to find a better way to remember to actually set up those tests, especially after seeing this post. Thank you for reminding me.

No problem! Medications are way better than they used to be. Lamotrigine is fantastic and I don't get any fucked up side effects or feel like a different person. If some insane doctor tries to put you on lithium, run away. Medications like Celexa will make you manic. I know it is hard to make those phone calls and appointments to your doctor, or even worse, having to find one, but it is the one thing you need to force yourself to do.

Couple suggestions:

  • Wash your sheets and blankets
  • Cut out alcohol for a while if you drink.
  • Take notes on any medication trials, including manufacturer.
  • Get any sleep issues under control.
  • Be honest with your doctor.
  • Advocate for your health.
