Seroquel made me lazy and just want to lay around eating Cheetos and reading lots and lots if books. Seroquel really really made me want to read. Now zyprexa makes me want to spend lots of time outdoors, even though it was 20 degrees this morning and I usually like sitting next to a heater in my apartment with a blanket, popcorn, and comic books. I'm so many different people. I'm a different person for every different ap I've tried.

Wow I also am bipolar II with an anxiety disorder. I went back to school unmedicated and hypomanic on and off in hindsight) for my Masters inLibrary and information Studies and graduated got the state certification then became so unstable I decided I’d never be able to work. Then I tried working landed a great job and it was an embarrassing disaster. I resigned for medical reasons after 2 weeks I couldn’t handle being around so many people and felt like my every minute I was stared at watched and examined. I was tryin all sorts of diets (ketogenic, paleo, then vegan , dairy free, juicing, all sorts of homeopathy, supplements (niacinimide-inositol, vitamin c, magnesium, omega 3 lol the list goes on. Then I tried pot which is legal where I lived putting CBC-Thc 40 in my tea at night. Nothing worked to release my fatigue (in hindsight I was alternating between hypomanic and mild depression but was sorta addicted and trying to keep a hypomanic state where I’d had tons of energy). I’d feel better and as if something was working for a month then it would go away (prob placebo ). Anyway my personality changed for the worse being off meds very unstable in hindsight.
