I hate med adjustments. Hate hate hate them. I don’t LOATHE them like I do the month of April, but it’s in my top 5 of hates. Today I’ve been irritable and snappy. A little hypomanic, not really motivated to do anything productive, and really tired. I emailed a friend all day while they were at work. Told them I imagine them with nerf guns with Mission Impossible or James Bond theme songs playing over the PA system while doing the rat race through the cubicles. That sounds like way more awesome fun than sitting at a desk answering the phone and getting bitched at by some asshole. Too each their job.
I’ve been gritting my teeth more today, probably from the irritability, and I actually had a real non-medicine induced headache today. Took all my bedtime meds-which would make a grown man cringe at all I must ingest for sanity’s sake, and I wanted to start researching some stuff on a different blog post I want to work on. It’s gonna be a good one, coming right out of left field! (Did ya catch that?? :eyeroll:) I have to thank AM for the nut planted on this one.
I wanted to shower today, but that didn’t happen. I feel like I lost a few hours of my life today, but for no good reason. I’m watching
May sleep and I’m worried she’s gonna fall off the bed. Saw Cute Neighbor Guy today, but kept my distance. Like I said, I just feel off from the med adjustment. My thoughts are more jump around than usual. Fucking meds…damnitalltohell. Now I can hear my heart beating in my ears…I’m just gonna go to sleep, and hope tomorrow is a little less…whatever, than today was.
Sass, Out
Ugh medication changes are a bitch. I hope your body gets used to it asap!
It’s just finding the right dose that’s driving me a little batty…why can’t this come in 10 mg doses?!
Hmmm rough day. I hope you feel better soon. I too as you know am going through the med change routine. I am just starting though. Usually takes a few weeks to get to the “I can’t take this shit anymore.” I am fine with the Cymbalta just need something to go with it to get rid of this damn depression. Though actually not depressed right now. That is a good thing.
Yeah…I’m just tired of the flip-flop of it all….fucking sucks.
Have ever been regulated? I haven’t, but I haven’t taken medications for most of my life. Just suffered through it.
What’s regulated? I’ve been taking BP meds since I’ve been diagnosed and that been 9 years now.
Well the way I understand it the meds are supposed to stop the mood swings and regulate it in the middle somewhere. For me mood stabilizers just make me super depressed. Antidepressants by themselves make me manic and nothing my moods are all over the place.
Oh ok. I had a derp moment. I call is stable. Yes pave have stable times. Anti depressants got me out of the hammock and the mood stabiles take the tops off the mania. I know when I go up and when I come down. The combo of meds that helped the most let me lead a more “productive” life, but it always goes to shit for me eventually, even if it takes years. I hope this new combo helps. And environment it always a factor too, as well as other health conditions.
Ok stabilized that’s the word, duh! Mine don’t work that way. Hope this new combination works, but what are the odds? Nothing else has worked and I have tried so many things. I told her though that I can’t take that deep depression. It makes me suicidal and I can’t stand it. It is long term unless the BPD kicks in.
Sounds like you’re more BP2-stinks. And sounds like you need a health care provider that’s really gonna listen to your “head case” lol. I’m sure that’s super head with the Medicare?
I know they have differences now in the types and manic and hypo-manic, but I fit the manic more than hypomanic which I think they link to BP2, but not sure. Need to read up on it again.
The mania is more of the BP1 which I am because I have fewer depressive episodes. The depressive episodes are more the BP2. Your mania/hypo could be a byproduct of the BPD. Sometimes I know too much of some stuff lol
I know the mania is supposed to be more BP1, but like I said it fits me better than the hypomania. I am doing so much research I forget what I have posted and haven’t posted. I just made a list of my stories of my real life so I don’t repeat them. I guess I ought to go back to the BP BPD research and refresh my memory. It ain’t what it used to be 🙂
Swiss cheese brain. I blame meds for mine. lol
Swiss Cheese Brain, cute! Meds are a lot of it and the Fibro fog doesn’t help either. I am posting 2 BP articles later tonight or early this morning and I definitely fit mania better than hypomania. The sugar in the cake has me craving cake again. I might just be digging into that chocolate one LOL!
No cake! Walk away. WALK AWAY! lol. Yes I’m DEFINITELY manic more than hypo. Swiss cheese brain fits really well. I see some people using it now :D. I’m binging on the rest of The Following so I can talk to Cute Neighbor Guy ❤️
I confess to eating a small piece of chocolate cake. That is why I am confused. I don’t fit all the symptoms for BP2, but I have the depression. Enjoy your show and Cut Neighbor Guy. Oooo heart LOL!
Not sure about Cut Neighbor Guy lol ;). If we all fit every symptom for the diagnosis, there would be a one size fits all pill or pill regimen. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh so true. One size fits all is definitely not true.
No it does not 🙂
