Mania

DINNER was Manic, I don't wanna say Be quiet Coffee Luke, Easter Bunny or the Pinecone Scene from TSOM, I want Peace Family n Hard Work appreciated

I’m curious, I’ve been taking low dose lamotrigine now for around 6 months. At first I felt a shift, I felt more centred and each day I get a sense that I think differently, I am making better choices, my thought patterns feel more coherent, can anyone relate.

I feel like I’m only mildly on the spectrum of bipolar 2, hence the late diagnosis at the age of 57.

My psychiatrist is assessing the diagnosis and is no longer certain, now considering maybe an anxiety disorder. think bipolar2/anxiety disorder are both pheasable.

I feel I have been anxious all my life and masking depression, I think the manic behaviour has been a result of trying to escape or fix my anxiety.

Now I am taking lamotrigine I feel like the mask has come off, I am no longer manic (or as manic) but I also can’t escape the depression I have been masking.

Can anyone relate? I told my daughter they are reconsidering the diagnosis and I could see she was anxious about this.

I explained I am doing much better and she agrees but only since I have been medicated.

Can anyone relate?

I did 2 hours of research last night and I learned a lot. But I'm trying to limit my love affair with Google. But now I have Facebook especially the groups for spoonies and migraines, the mighty, and FetLife. I've been desperately throwing my line in the lake and losing bait. I've posted the long one that explains everything on every site. The main group I'm in hasn't approved it yet. I get it, my story is depressing and sad. But hey, it's also a wild ride. Knowing what I'm dealing with and how it's being addressed by my doctors is crazy. I'd even go so far as to say it's entertaining. What's gonna happen next? Will Nox in fact get a cookie? Stay tuned to find out.

Hi, my name is Iris. I've been diagnosed with Bipolar then major depression then finally my last psychiatrist diagnosed me with Borderline I am curious and in need to connect with BPD societies and i have passion for psychiatry, reading people my own way and getting through to them helping them and saving them from their selves i have done that almost enough, rescued the life of 3 ex bestfriends with suicide ideation over-dosing then seizing and biting their tongues, cutting over and over and the worst part since i attempted the act myself i thought of my brother then i ran to call "friends" none answered none got even back to ask about me assure my health. i walked to the hospital i bled so much that i fainted on the emergency entrance. some of my traits that i am proud of is that i wear my garbage that's why i can stand out to everyone else cause i don't like to lie even if suicide attempts are a felony here. and i have been cheated on in front of my eyes with no remorse or guilt i saw my gf having sex with a guy who turned out to be her boyfriend all time long along with me and another two. i got hit violently afterwards by both my ex and her boyfriend, that i couldn't move for 6 days. i was so far from home. i was abused in every fucking way. my parents are divorced and this house was built and bought in time of distress. i experience a lot of symptoms of other coexisting disorders especially bipolar, mania major depressive OCD excessive delusions illusions and hallucinations *rarely but more than it should*. and the fear is accelerating to protect my wellbeing cause i am living my life with one final act in this life, how i will go, i don't think i believe that it's gonna be suicide.
