»Wissen: Anders im Kopf - Neurodiversität als Stärke.
Psychische Leiden wie Autismus, Schizophrenie oder eine bipolare Störung können nützlich sein. Die Evolutionsgeschichte zeigt: Neurodiversität ist ein Erfolgsmodell«
@purplepadma it is so powerful, in fact, that some people manage their schizophrenia with it, their ADHD, treatment resistant depression, anxiety disorders, the list goes on.
While I can't speak specifically about being bipolar, I wholeheartedly encourage you to try.
And of course, don't change your meds without your doctor's approval (maybe you don't need to hear it, but I need to say it).
As a #bipolar woman, receiving the command/wish to smile, however gently phrased and well-intended, feels like an overwhelming burden. It also reminds me of performing for the family business---the ministry. So, let's just say, I don't want anyone messing with my resting face. lols.
"I want you to think about how you would react if another man asked you to smile, especially if you didn't want to. Besides, wouldn't you want a woman to smile at you because she wants to?"
was mir auf den sack geht ist diese ungleichbehandlung von psychischen erkrankungen in der gesellschaft #depressionen, #adhs oder, wie in meinem fall, #autismus sind so die "cuties" unter den psychischen störungen
hast du aber eine #psychose, #schizophrenie, #ptbs, bist #bipolar, #borderline oder hast ne #suchterkrankung dann musst du schon scheisse viel glück haben damit dich jemand abholt
@monkee@pmj Mein "Lieblingseffekt" ist erschrockenes Zurückweichen von Ärztys, wenn ich meine Diagnose nenne, weil sie dann nicht wirklich wissen, was sie tun sollen.
Ich leb schon sehr lange damit und es wird besser, aber zu langsam.
Gegen den Mangel an guten Therapiemöglichkeiten hilft es aber nicht, dass Ärztys aus anderen Fachbereichen Grundwissen haben.
I'm a grumpy person.
I acknowledge I am a grumpy person. I am ashamed of being a grumpy person. The situations that make me grumpy are shoved into my life and I try to stop every little thing shoved annoyingly into my life, but I cant stop other people. I try, but they will do what they do.
I dont like being a grumpy person.
I am a grumpy person.
At least I'm not a bully or murderer.
I care so much, it hurts.
I wish I wasnt a grumpy person.
I dont control my mood.
I observe. #BiPolar
For a side project, I have been poking around the topic of #bipolar disorder and cognitive impairment. It’s grim reading; even in remission, people with BD have impaired verbal memory, attention and executive function. If you have BD you most likely do have additional challenges. You’re not just being rubbish! #MentalHealth
Has anyone else experienced psychiatric side-effects with Methocarbamol as a muscle relaxant? I have spastic #neuropathy and was prescribed, but after a month of feeling increasingly anxious and angry, I spent four solid days awake. Did the math, called my doc, stopped the med, but boy heck was that horrid! I'm #Bipolar RC, and I take Abilify along with Strattera for my ADHD. I had a similar, but less severe reaction to Flexaril, but doctor assured me this was different. Any alternatives known?
Last #bipolar post of the night and then I’m going to bed.
One of my most respected pals admitted to me that he and others were expecting my imminent death as little as six or so weeks ago. That the disease was going to win.
I’ve been crying thinking about that too. I had tried everything at the max dosages and nothing was working. Had the lithium not worked as fast as it did, the overwhelming odds were that I would have succumbed.
But I didn’t. And the lithium did work and quickly.
One day when I get around to more tattoos, I’m getting a bunch of #bipolar themed ones.
Three years ago if someone had told me that I’d be fighting for my life in my late 30s due to progression of a disease that I always had in check prior, I would have told them to fuck off and stop talking nonsense.
Bipolar 1 damn near killed me. I’ve been told I should be a case study with how long the mania lasted. But with the help of friends and a final Hail Mary in lithium, I’m alive to tell the tale.
20 months. No, that is not a typo. For 20 months, the mania got worse and worse without breaks until I was mixing so bad that I was honestly more than ready to end it all.
But now, on the other side of that hellish demon, I am glad I didn’t.
None of us know what future we may have, but final acts of desperation ensure the future you won’t have.
My virtual door is always open for those struggling with #bipolar. Our lives are worth living and worth seeking healing.
If you have questions about what it's like to be bipolar, feel free to ask! I'm type 2 bipolar, but I've also experienced full manic episodes more typical of type 1 on occasion. I'll do my best to answer any questions (and I'll let you know gently if I'm not comfortable answering). #bipolar#MentalIllness#MentalHealth
If you have depression, insomnia, AND a tendency to feel energised or happy (at least for a while) when you don't sleep, I highly recommend looking into the possibility that you're bipolar. #bipolar#mentalIllness#MentalHealth
@jessica I don't know why, but I think lithium may offer something. I'm no doctor, but at least one other person I know has been helped tremendously by it.
Sometimes I feel guilty for having #ActuallyBipolar in my profile because nothing ever happens anymore but now a lot of the warning signs for #hypomania and a very slight #psychosis are showing up. I have doubts that this is the correct way to interpret what's happening anymore and I'm exploring that but it's basically the same thing that always happens anyway.
Don't worry. I have a concrete plan and support who has been alerted already.
I also have medication in case of emergency. That's useful to counteract psychosis and insomnia. So far I'm just using a different one to force myself to sleep.
The proper way to deal with this is to first of all not panic, second of all to not take risks, then start reducing as much stress as possible and make sure you're sleeping no matter what. If you think you can't handle it on your own, then you probably can't and you should get help.
One of my weird quirks is I can't listen to music in the background. It hugely distracts from what I'm doing and so becomes irritating.
I like music, but my world is free of it unless my main task is listening to music, or at movies, concerts, clubbing, etc.. I don't even listen to music in a car.
I get the same problem with television in the background, even if it's muted. Changing background visuals are as distracting as music.
I have this to an extent but its variable (I can listen to some music in the car but have to mute it at busy roundabouts / junctions for safety). I was a rave DJ and a sound engineer (and still do some work for the community radio station), so its also that I can concentrate on it too hard (I am sensitive to glitches and rough sound)
@vfrmedia@whiteice@franktaber ohh wow. Yeah, I noticed, when it's just me in the car, pretty loud. With wifey, low or not at all. She gets anxiety from it, I've noticed, and having it low is good to talk.. despite us liking a lot of similar music. Just best without. When it's me, like, eardrum blasting level 🤣
