Everyone looking after themselves? I started a new workout routine and I’ve quit smoking (mostly) and it’s really helped.
Hope everyone is okay wherever you are!!

BPD is awful. I’m sorry you have to suffer with it. My mom has it and somehow got convinced to stop taking her meds after 20 years of them working and blew away like $40k, then crashed really hard from her manic high. Luckily my brother and I were able to get a decent amount of her money back by selling the stuff she bought. She’s now back on her old meds and functioning like anyone else.
This is a huge problem with meds that work, unfortunately. I’ve guided multiple people that took meds for different thing (BPD, schizophrenia for example) that felt good while taking meds who suddenly decided they’d be fine without them. But the meds is what’s making them feel fine and what’s keeping it all together. This is a very common thing really.
Sorry you had to go through that. Mental health problems are a removed.
Thanks, yeah I’ve been guilty of attempting to get off my medication because I think that I feel fine and don’t need them, yet they’re the reason I do feel OK. I think I know better now.
I didn’t know manic episodes could last that long. Hers went on for about a year and a half before she crashed.
Oh no I can only imagine how stressful that must have been. I don’t think I’m bad enough to be that chaotic hence I’ve survived without meds but I can imagine the shitstorm that manic period must have being.
I know when I get them I get very impulsive and essentially child like. It feels great weirdly but I’m so embarrassed because it’s like I’m a kid on a sugar rush!! Then the crash is erghhhhh…
Glad to hear she is back on the meds and doing okay! How you managed to claw back some of the cash and handle that situation is beyond me!!
