I was very depressed when I started lamictal. then I missed my period then this last period was wierd. Then the 50 mg jump made me hypomania. then I became very depressed again. maybe some of it has to do with my birth mother. but ever since I started lamictal I've been showing my true self to ppl I normally wouldn't. like people at work including my supervisor. and just a few min ago my bf brother. I don't know if this recent showing of attitude is good or bad. is it good to be showing your true self or bad? I'm so confused. it does help me think before I act.

I don't know that showing your true self is a bad thing. I think it is a good thing. I have always loved the saying "Be true to yourself."
Of course if you are harming others in some way or being mean or abusive then that is not ok. I am not sure what you mean by showing your true self? In what way?

There is definitely a difference between being your true self and saying what you think with no filter... I agree with zinco be true to yourself.. but theres kind of tht grey area where the line is super blurry if youre being too blunt or snapping too quickly... if its taking away your filter completely and not allowing you to think at all before you speak and act you might just wana mention it to your doctor. See if its just part of the process of it leveling out or not or what

Like I'm more likely to say something if something is really bothering me. and to get smart. although ppl who don't know me like my coworkers don't know I'm being serious. although one of them said something to me and I kind of gave her this look and looked her up and Down. and they've said hey don't know what's gotten into me lately. maybe its not a bad thing. maybe its just different for me. |
