Bryan (he/him) πΊπΈ π³οΈβπMorning #1 on Seroquel - I slept so well. I woke up feeling good. I am currently enjoying a big cup of coffee and catching up on email/socials.
Tonight starts my journey on Seroquel. I'm taking it at bedtime because I read that it can knock you out. Basically since the start of the summer I have been unmedicated for mental health, only taking some things for diabetes and UCTD. I have been in a very good manic state the entire time (completely positive experience) and even lost a lot of weight. I think finding Mastodon and writing a bunch has helped steer my mood in the right direction. I've never had a manic state last this long, especially with so few downsides.
The one thing I've been worried about, though, has been what happens if this mania turns negative or destructive. The only downside to my current state is I rarely sleep. Even though my body is super fatigued from the autoimmune disease, I'm wired wide awake all the time. I agreed yesterday it is probably best to go back on meds. I've been on most bipolar meds up to this point but never tried Seroquel because of the potential for weight gain. We will just have to see if my Mounjaro helps with that.

Jenny FxI'm starting to realize that loving someone with #bipolar1 at some point you have to accept that they choose to live segments of their lives in the mania and there's really nothing you can do about it except protect yourself and other family members, hope nothing really bad happens to them despite the situations they put themselves in , and resolve to be there if/when they decide they want treatment. Otherwise you just have to leave them be, no matter how much you want the together one back.
