  • I have a very small dose of Abilify that I take along Bupropion to "boost" the effect of the later and so far so good. I feel more energetic with it where I was more or less catatonic before and the effect was quick to act.

    I hope you don't lose that light on the horizon!

  • CW : Story of suicidal thoughts and kind of self harm too.

    spoiler

    I too got diagnosed in the last few years with Bipolar with hypomania after I also did a test for ADD which was positive. I've struggled with suicidal thoughts since my teenage years but I knew that if I just waited it out, it would pass and I'd gain that sweet new will to live and a boost to my self esteem with it.

    But yeah I had typical depressed stuff, isolating, dropping everything and projects I had started and missing while days too. I've started with Aripriprazole too but I was getting some morbid thoughts racing in my head too and that kind of stopped using antipsychotics.

    But as other have noted, get a second opinion if you can, you know yourself better than anyone after all.











  • In my long mental health journey, I was diagnosed at first with BPD when I was around 20 years old, mostly because (I suspect) I was mutilating, had feeling of emptiness/death and was kinda having "clivage" in my relationship.(Where I was super into someone until I had my fill then vanished from the surface of the earth.)

    I read a lot on it, took note of when some behaviors happened and practiced some kind of self-crit. But mostly, aging dulled the strongest feeling.

    Also later, I've been diagnosed as Bipolar, which I think fits better overall. As what I've read on it. DBT works wonder for BPD as it was first developed for that trouble I believe.
