    What Makes You Happy?

    Watching my baby daddy whom I live with get so mad that when he decides to throw a man-fit and storms out, carelessly walks into a door frame. Slapstick gets me everytime.

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    I feel sort of evil today. Not like weird evil, but vigilante for justice evil in a sort of manipulating way.

    Genetics Meds Testing And Lamictal

    Oh yeah. I'm on a whopping 400mg. I am bipolar, but much like you I have a genetic thing and I become so tolerant to meds that doses that actually work are toxic as hell so I seriously have no idea if that part of the diagnosis is right. Just be very careful when they start bumping your dose...

    Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

    Ooh I had an appointment today? I'm sorry. There's something wrong with my eyes. I just didn't see myself coming in.

    Effexor?

    It is extremely hard to come off of. For me, it triggered mania. I decided to go on the extended release thinking that was it, but it got worse. Be careful and I hope it doesn't do to you what it did to me. Good luck!

    Need ideas on controlling. rage

    I completely understand. I go from dead zero to padded walls and Jesus in a matter of seconds. One thing I do after my face is all red and I fantasize about stabbing someone with a fork.. is clearly state to trigger (person or feeling) that I need an adult time-out. Like, "I'm taking a adult...

    Someone Explain This To Me, I'm Not Sure

    Oh absolutely. This thing seems to drain the brain to the point of borderline retardation from sleep deprivation/malnutrition. BUT.. I would get checked out physically to be safe. Neuro workups, sleep studies, all that stuff you probably don't want to do. I hated that journey. Come to find...

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    1. I haven't been following this group omg for so long. Haaaay 2. I'm thinking about 10 different answers to this question and becoming confused. 3. I'm thinking about my growling tummy. Hungry but I don't care. Everyone needs a winter coat for hibernation, ... mine happened to develop last...

    Weird Realization About Self Care/neglect

    Both my brother and I have to carry cookies or crackers around with us.. or else. I bawl over stuff that has nothing to do with me, and he pitches man-fits and gets thrown out of stores if we don't eat enough. Something about our brain chemistry goes nutso-attacko when deprived of nutrient...

    How To Stop Recalling Memory/dream?

    I had a similar event happen last week. I asked my doctor if it were something to do with being manic or the like, but he told me something strange in return. He said that a few others had come to him that were faithfully taking their meds (i.e. Effexor) but felt as if they had missed a dose...

    Eye Mutiny

    lol. I tried putting a heating pad on it but then I warmed my eyeball instead and everything was blurry for 2 hours. I know. Brilliant! I'm gonna ask my pcp what he thinks. Eye, you and me have a date with destiny...

    Eye Mutiny

    Ok so last week, I had an awful nightmare. Since starting Prazosin, the nightmares really went down to zero but now that I've been at the same dose for a while a few dreams creep in here and there. Well, this one was a doozy. I woke up from it feeling awful, but more noticeable than that was...

    BPD Ptsd and bpd - how can you tell if a person has both?

    You know what's weird is that the first stay I had in an inpatient setting when I was 15, that was the very first diagnosis that was pinned on me. The hospital was well aware that I was 15 in an adult unit, and was also withdrawing from drugs but as you can see, diagnosis get flung everywhere...

    Feeling Like Someone Is Behind Me And Like People Are Going To Kill Me

    I don't think the terrors are only confined to childhood. I still have them but now it happens when I'm by myself. No matter where I am, if I'm alone (e.g. shopping alone, going for a walk) in the general public, I find myself gripping my car keys like I'm going to spontaneously turn into a...

    Can You Move When You Dissociate?

    I've always been able to move, but not always able to speak or stay awake. I can see how a person might go into a sort of microsleep during the event, or how muscles might not want to work. That happens more to me when it's a situation involving people and the relationships between them. But...

    Full Moon Lunacy?

    I get super-charged with energy like I could run a marathon. Happy things seems happier, but angry things are definitely angrier lol. I wait it out, finding something to occupy my time. Movies are great for that. Now that movies are twenty hours long, one flick can get ya through an entire...

    I Feel Like Others Do Not Give A D***n About My Feelings

    It was this year that I actually broke down and bawled when I realized that most people, if not all that I know personally, have little to no empathy. I have no idea why it took 36 years to figure that one out, or maybe 36 years to accept it. But seriously, I would feel like a personal attack...

    Explosive Anger

    Accepting sides of yourself "as is" takes a lot of practice. Not accepting the rage or lashing out, but accepting being very uncomfortable for a temporary period of time. The more I changed the reaction instead of trying to change the thought itself, the more the thought didn't bother me the...

    Full Moon Lunacy?

    I am definitely not a werewolf, but I am loony tunes on a full moon. Or new moon. I think tides and barometric pressure can really punch the mind in the face sometimes.

    Sudden Suicidal Ideation

    I lived in daymares for the longest time. It's like.. whatever horrible situation that potentially could occur would play out, but in a morbid fascination sort of way. I'm starting to think it can be a way that people search for their identity, question their identity, explore it etc. The...

    Finding Thoughts About Suicidal Ideation Comforting?

    Those thoughts used to be a way for me to vent it out, but something changed over the years. I don't know if it's hormonal or what but the thoughts absolutely do not comfort me now. After postpartum, the thoughts created a physical reaction, and just feel really, really terrible. It's like...
