Definite party type. Partying and manic for me went hand in hand.
Do you have a dual diagnosis? __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I have many diagnoses but none relating to drugs or alcohol.
Are you having bad side effects from your medications? I am suffering from Tardive dyskinesia lately because my doctor took me off Ingrezza for some unknown reason!

Nothing terrible. Usual clozapine stuff like drooling and needing incontinence pads at night and since starting Seroquel I've had terrible dry mouth but nothing I can't handle/am not used to.
Do you have trouble with getting meds filled appropriately at your pharmacy or is it just me? If you've been on clozapine did you have trouble then? __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

No, trouble. But I’ve never been on clozapine. About a decade or so ago I was on opioids and had trouble getting some of them. You could only get 30 days at a time in a narrow window. Often they’d say they had to order it! They knew I’d need a refill! Why didn’t they automatically reorder it so it was ready? Duh!

Yes! The whole fiasco about being taken off Ingrezza and then insurance saying they wouldn’t cover it when I tried to refill. My Pdoc told me today that the psych hospital couldn’t get Ingrezza so they just arbitrarily took me off it which screwed up everything!

I have never had Korean food. I don't even know of a Korean restaurant closer than 2 hours from here (I don't know of one there either but those cities I'm sure are big enough to have them).

Lemonades. It’s a sugar cookie with a paste of lemon flavor on the back. Second favorite is mint.
We’re a small town but we have an authentic Korean restaurant here. I love their teas. I’ve only had about 3 of their dishes, I don’t know what I’ve eaten. I just point at the picture. So far it’s delicious. Same question __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Plenty of Korean restaurants, but never went to one. Sounds delish though! Will have to try it.

I was in a very low/aggitated mood yesterday. I tried talking to my non-boyfriend but he made it worse. What’s helped has been talking with my mom.
If you celebrate Easter, what are you doing tomorrow?

Going to church with my friend in the morning, (shhh she's sleeping right now, lol), and then spending the day with my parents.
Do you feel your bipolar symptoms get triggered around holidays like tomorrow? __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

Gosh! I hope my bipolar symptoms don’t get triggered tomorrow! Dinners with family usually go well. Except when N1 left without saying goodbye after disappearing for hours this past Thanksgiving. I’m still not sure exactly what happened except that my sister’s mother in law kept using incorrect pronouns with my transgender daughter (N1).

No my bipolar is not triggered by external factors except stress makes me a bit more prone to an event. Things are pretty stress free currently.

I’m alone most of the time so I’ve had to learn to be so but I’m really more of a people person.

I like being alone as of late, yes. When I'm alone there's no one to bother me about going out or taking a shower.

Yes, I like alone time. Probably too much. But at least living here, beside my mom, I get human interaction most days for a tolerable amount of time.

I would ditch the lithium. I hate having to go for all the blood tests, and I know it contributes to my weight gain.

I’m not in the path of it so the eclipse doesn’t really affect me.

I actually meditate and pray, (not as often as I should), but I try to drown out all the noise and technology for about an hour or two a day. It calms me.
