  • In this video, I'm talking about 4 lifestyle choices I made in my late 20s that kept me sick with mania and depression. I was finally on bipolar meds that worked, but these choices were unknowingly causing me problems when I should have been much healthier.
    Mood stabilizers and antipsychotics cannot work to their fullest unless lifestyle changes are made.

    Sounds like it's very complicated when you have to manage what's usually just taken for granted. I think you have as good a handle on your situation as possible. Continued best wishes to you and your family!

    Just had to lower my SSRI because I was hypomanic. I think it was about a month ago today? But yeah. It’s important to listen to your body. I still struggle with drinking, but I usually drink lower alcohol percentages and I rarely get drunk. Still I wish I could quit altogether.

      It’s great that you’re aware of these things! Despite the fact that I knew drinking wasn’t good for me, I continued to do it (albeit much less) for YEARS. I only stopped drinking completely last summer. Everything in your own time. ❤

    What was the wonder drug?

      For me it was lithium. Apparently I’ve read that it works really well for 1/3 of people with bipolar.

      @@ourbipolar that’s pretty cool. What’s your experience been like with seroquel? Any particular side effects you’ve personally noticed or disliked?
