If anyone wants to talk, I'll give my kik identity to anyone whose screen name I know.

Me, atm. When I stare at the blank pages with racing thoughts that should be written down yet my hands refuse to dance because my soul is drowning in a deep ocean of sorrow..

What is kik? Sorry I'm kind of out of the loop, I'm assuming it's some kind of messaging thing?

Yes, it's a messaging app. You dont have to use your real name. Just make screen names.

For years i couldn't feel much for anything, i lost all my enthusiasm and motivation for creativity and i'm a musician so it was pretty depressing. Recently though i've been taken of zyprexa and put on abiify and i feel so much more alive, i still struggle to find inspiration but i've noticed a big improvement.

I'm proud of myself. I turned down my ex who wanted to come over today. Previously every time we were together even just together to supposedly "hang out" we ended up (sorry tmi) sleeping together then not talking again for months and repeat, etc. and part of it was because I had low self esteem and wanted him to like me. Plus he smokes weed, I don't need to be doing that.

Snake, maybe I will give Abilify a try in due time. Meanwhile, I have about 4 months worth of Geodon, which never messed with my emotions, in fact it hasn't had any side effects on the affects. The real problem is the Lamictal, and on top of that the anti depressant.

Being assigned an anti-depressant for someone with bipolar is weird.

That's something you're not supposed to do.

Ive heard that as well, though it didnt stop my GP from prescribing me an anti-depressant. it sends me euphoric when i take it so ive just kept quiet about it in case i want more

anti-depressants can trigger mania.

Maybe if you're already on a mood stabilizer like valproic acid or lamictal it doesn't have the same effect, idk

I think the mood stabilizers help. I was on Zoloft before I was diagnosed and it didn't end well.

Prozac made me want to hurt people. ADs have been largely not affected me. But the cymbalta seemed like it helped a bit but had some physical issues.

It sucks that you weren't able to stay on something that helped, even if it was just a little.
