I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
I take Lamictal, things are ok now Im on steady meds. I found out about 2 years ago but had suspected it for a long time.
A lot of people go offf their meds because they feel ok but usually to dire effects
-I'm on Lexapro, Klonopin, Lamictal, and Abilify, though I'm slowly weaning off of the Abilify.
-Right now? Peachy.
-When I was 18.....so three years ago.
-Life-long. If you're BP, you don't stop taking your meds even if you feel ok, because that could trigger an episode.
i take lithum, depakote, abilify, aderall, and zoloft, but im going to be coming off the zoloft.
right now things are getting better for me
i found out 2 years ago
i could stop taking my meds if i wanted to but i like feeling normal....or as normal as i can be
I'm on Geodon, Lamictal, and Zoloft.
I'm doing good now, finally. I had four episodes in a row that lasted about six months. I finally have calmed down.
I got diagnosed when I had just turned 23.
Taking the meds is a life long thing, just like having diabetes. If you don't take your meds you get sick.
i kinda do suspect, i'm on and off with it...i know its a hell of illness so plz dont think im looking for something .....but i have mood swings, some worse than others, i have rly bad episodes...the kind where im screams, crying, cutting, throwing things, and puttine holes in walls, and sometimes leaving my house (both houses my mom and dad's) and just walking.
idk though but i do know im getting worse and after my last episode my dad said he was putting me in a hospital.
hi vicky
my regular doc is a pediatrician so idk if she knows about stuff like that since she deals with babies and kids and some teens....she did want me seeing a psychiatrist though after she saw all my cuts during a physical and my gyno too
