Shes trying to tell me im a trigger.

Yeah the mania is just as hard. My ex used to be uber fun to be around but would be crazy with it and want to spend money we didn't have to maintain his mood....

I spent my life on egg shells trying to maintain the equilibrium. He is much better now as he is on meds that have stabilised his mood although he feels they have zombified him somewhat

Was he taking anti phsychotic meds?

I have been informed it will probably be them that zombied him rather than any mood stabilizer.

feel for you, mate, the same here; tried quotiapine and mirtazepine, both give you voracious appetite and I could sleep 20h a day, couldn't cope with all that
they give it for depression now too, that's why I tried them, what about you?

yeah depression and anxiety, kept trying meds for a week or two and then stopping bc of side effects but didn't have much choice in the matter when they stuck me in hospital lmao don't like how hungry and fat it made me (still excessively hungry 10 months after stopping, seems to have induced some kind of food addiction in me?? idk, but the weight doesn't pile on super easily anymore so there's that) but it does help ur mental health

It is hard, but worth it.

I am learning, i am usually a blunt and straight to the point person but find myself tippytoeing around her sometimes.


As yet i am not sure if this is to make her life easier or mine.
