I’ll write about mental health and how life is having Bipolar Disorder II, depression, anxiety, disassociation, ADD, struggling and overthinking is my hobby.
Can anyone explain how I got this kind of flat tire??? I mean, really? I had a very tiring day… but I know that the situation could have been worse, fortunately I am okay, nothing happened to the car (I think) because I drove like 2 miles before it was like this. Anyways… ✌️
@drs_sleep Bipolar, maybe? I speak for myself because I cannot sleep more than 2-4 hours without a pill. I also am in the autistic spectrum and/or ADD, so it doesn’t make it any easier.
@moondance24_7 Thanks… I think it was overdue, after 38 years of not being what she wanted or expected to be. That’s why I moved 4 months ago to Htx, because I couldn’t take any more shit. Now, if I want to go to Mexico in the future, I can’t. I better concentrate on my future here, I think 🤷♂️
So, yesterday, I received a drunken message from my bipolar mom… I am officially disinherited from their will, apparently. As if I wanted to go back to that miserable town.
@moondance24_7 Yes, me. But I blame it on the weather… I don’t like cold weather so I get this “seasonal depression” every year, while my body (or mind?) acclimate… but this weather doesn’t help, going down and up until spring. So I bought a bunch of winter clothes to fight it. 🤷♂️
Hi #bipolarclub! Can we make a thread of so called “tools” to cope with anxiety, depression, panic attacks?
I will start with: being aware of your breathing 😮💨 some smartwatches (like Apple Watch) have a Mindfulness app and it makes you concentrate in your breathing. It helps.
@LordBeeBrain Same here… I blame the cold weather, though. I hate being cold and, in TX, normally isn’t that cold as in other places but I always feel terrible when it starts. And winter isn’t here yet 😣 I never know how long it will last. But it can’t be forever, right?
@shaunmling Well, I’m not a doctor but, based on my experience, you might need to up your dose… maybe to 75mg? I started with 25 and went up to 100mg on some point, but now I’m down to 25-50 sometimes and it does the job. In almost 4 years ive taken it, to be precise. Talk with your Psdoc!
@BipolarClubDx @BhavPatelMBA I might have… I think I was sleeping like 2 hours for a few days once I got off my meds (because scarcity) and around that time I found a black snake on my bed, hiding between my pillows and it was scary, I supposedly lured it out placing items on the floor but idk if was real!
