I am a big advocate for therapy, so I choose that. If I had gone to a psychologist, (can't prescribe medication), instead of a psychiatrist all those years ago when I was struggling, I may not have found myself in this mess I've been in the past 24 years. Really something that bothers me to this day.
Q: Do you consciously think of being bipolar? Like does being bipolar bother you in the day to day, and do you obsess or think about it often? __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I do, but I wouldn't say obsessively. I guess it depends on how much thought I feel like is required. Like, if I'm having one of those appointments you're supposed to summarize your symptoms for the whole since your last appointment period, then yeah, it's on my mind a lot. I probably think of it least when I'm having my most severe symptoms though, funnily

I think about it often during episodes. Like now. I’m depressed af and keep telling myself it’s the bipolar talking. Wish I was stable. Seeing my pdoc soon and hoping he can help me out. I’m feeling rather treatment resistant at the moment. Think we’ve tried almost everything AD there is. It’s not working.
How often do you currently see your pdoc? |

About every 4 weeks. I seem to typically have at least some email contact between sessions as well.

Yes. I am so glad that it has cooled off, at least for now. I'm actually cold today.

A:Well, I planted some flowers on my porch this year that open in the daylight, sleep at night, sometimes look so dead I consider throwing them out and then they recover. They really don't know what they need. They haven't even reacted to our many 90 degree plus days. I do not know their name though.
Q:How often do you get a good night of sleep, however you define that? __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

I think I average once a week to get a decent amount of sleep. But just recently I slept for 10 hours, that was marvelous and a rare rare occurrence.
I’m curious about others, same Q __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. …... Desiderata Max Ehrmann |

A: I get decent sleep most nights using several PRNs if I have to. Every month or so I have a bad night when I either don't sleep or don't fall asleep until 6 or 7 AM.
Q: Can you take pills without water? How many? __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |
