Been away for awhile after just getting started here. Weird thing happened: got stabilized on meds, then got depressed, which has never happened before. Now wading through the waters of #depression trying to find my way through. #bipolardisorder #bipolarclub

"You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared and anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human." - Lori Deschene

@CSpektre76 I took Trileptal and I had horrible gastro side effects. However, my brain felt so calm on it. I was so sad to have to go off of it. Good luck!

[BipolarLife @chou_suzanne]

@zx10rrider1 Thx for the response. Interesting! I might have to try 7 hours instead of 8.

Fellow #Lithium takers, do you need to caffeine it up? If so, what's your "routine"? #bipolarclub #bipolardisorder #bipolarlife

[BipolarLife @chou_suzanne]

@zx10rrider1 I'm fascinated that you can get by on 5/6 hours. I need 8, and if I don't get it flips me into hypomania.

That time when your pharmacy tells you they have your refill but you can't get it because their system is down... first thing I envisioned: sleepless nights. #bipolar #bipolarclub

@zx10rrider1 @SueTrout69sue Ahh the regrets - never ending. But life is better on the medicated side.#bipolar

[BipolarLife @chou_suzanne]

If you had to explain what having #bipolar is like in 1-2 sentences, what would you say???

[BipolarLife @chou_suzanne]

@SueTrout69sue No need to feel sorry about what is your experience. I had a really bad 20 years until I got diagnosed.

[BipolarLife @chou_suzanne]

@itssfelix21 Yes!

[BipolarLife @chou_suzanne]

@escalator_elk Love that!

@whiteliesanti @BipolarClubDx My opinion, sounds like you are not properly medicated. I understand having some depression, but suicidal ideation should not occur.

[BipolarLife @chou_suzanne]

@Caitlin_Writes @BipolarClubDx Ugh.

Anyone on #Lithium? How is your memory? #bipolar #bipolarclub

[International Bipolar Foundation @IntlBipolar]

Caffeine is a naturally occurring stimulant that causes arousal of the nervous system. For people with bipolar disorder, consuming caffeine can have unexpected and problematic consequences. https://t.co/1ttgU3aH5T

@memersondee7 Interesting. Did not know that about mania.
