Had a conversation with my mother earlier about a prior incident, we haven't spoken about it, and she got mad and starts insulting me all over again. I'm fukking over it. Guess I'll just continue this life of mine without any family whatsoever. No one cares so I guess I won't now.

Why the mods haven’t pin this thread yet is beyond me.

So many of us are hurting inside and truth be told this forum is basically the only outlet we have because no one else in our lives give a fukk about our mental health.

Gonna keep some details vague but I did a stay in an inpatient ward and it was the best thing for me! I got evaluated by multiple psychiatrists and they even figured out a problem that could go undetected.

I'm on Lithium and Risperidone for my BP2. I'm finally free from the rumination



My head is clear and I can think my own thoughts willingly. Don't have to destroy my relationships, my wallet or myself. Things are under control. I can't believe this is how normal people get to be. Never thought this could be me.

Told my family and they took it as well as possible. We definitely do have an issue with mental wellness and health in our community because they all didn't like the fact I was taking pills to treat it.

I hope you brehs in here can find some peace, speak with a doctor, psychiatrist, someone to get on the right track.

So far the weaning off of Exxfor hasn't been too bad, I have normal sleeping hours again so I guess being doped up on all those anti depressants was causing me to oversleep.



The worst part is I had a seizure on the train a couple days ago which I don't not remember at all train was pulling out of the stop, next thing I remember a bunch of paramedics was standing over me. They asked me a bunch of questions, for my I.D, etc. I had to convince them that a hospital visit wasn't needed and I was fine to make the trek home (which I did). I was sore all over afterwards which took a few days to heal.



I still feel depressed though, not better nor worse, just the same I feel like shyt right now and restless as hell.

I've been having some issue with my vision, dry skin keeps dropping onto my eyelashes. Today I look at my hands and they're dry as if I didn't lotion up.

Looks up Lithium's side effects, dry skin. They're not playing with the dry skin, it went through cocoa butter and shea butter just to express itself.

Better this than the opposite. Although, I have an issue swallowing my pills lately.

I told my therapist I’ve been feeling very depressed lately and I need ways to manage it besides pills and she gave me some half ass peep talk and suggests I practice guided meditation even though I repeatedly told her I already do that shyt.

Honestly I’m ready to just bush her, I feel as though my concerns aren’t taking seriously enough with her and it seems like she just telling me shyt she read from a script instead of actually helping me cope with my problems.

shyt is just exhausting.

I just wanna tell bruhs and brehettes on here to hang in there...this time of the year can be both exciting and enjoyable but depressing as well.

I've been eating more because one ima foodie but I got high stress from work and family issues as well as personal issues. I'm not depressed like that but I got a lot of family issues and stressful job that has me going thru it sometimes. Just pray for me.
