| | | I think my doctor is a bit negligent. I've been on Lithium for a year and she's yet to check my levels once. |

| | | I don't find myself that much more productive when I'm manic, but more or less unable to control myself....constantly need to be moving, and moving fast, I have tons of ideas, and in the end never finish anything I start...I read a lot more when I'm manic. Yes, you do sleep less, but I want to sleep, I just can't. It's terrible, and it has sometimes embaressed me.....I get EXTREMELY irritable....and freak out when no one deserves it....it happens less because of the medication but it still happens, I feel horrible about it.
I have to PUSH...and...PUSH...and ...PUSH...myself to do things. Because my mother destroyed her life and lives with her parents, I have that motivation to never be like her.......that is what keeps me going...I will not let myself fail in life, no matter the obstacles...there are days where I don't want to get out of bed, I don't want to let one sound out of my mouth...but sometimes I still get up....
I am so snappy... |

| | | I've been on depakote for a few months, which is like lithium only with fewer side effects etc. I'm bipolar, and whilst I am glad to be stable I do secretly miss the initial highs of a manic episode. The stage where I had loads of creative energy but there's a fine line between that and when it starts to get really destructive....putting myself in danger; drinking too much, taking class a drugs, promiscuity etc
Plus my particular bipolar is termed as rapid cycling hypomania...so I tend to suffer a more from regular mania really than depression...upside- I don't have to take anti-depressants along with it | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
