I'm not allowed to list the meds that I'm on but I have been on an SNRI for about 2 years, and was given a mood stabiliser about 2 months ago.

On Saturday my hearing started to go weird, and I could hear voices. After this anytime anyone spoke it sounded like they were speaking a foreign language. Finally, I lost my ability to talk.

My friend called an ambulance at this point because I couldn't answer her simple questions. My heart rate was really high so they took me to the ED. They got my partner to give them all of my medications.

I remember arriving at the hospital but then it's blank. Apparently they made me get up to switch beds and I collapsed and had a seisure. My memory and ability to speak came back at this point.

The doctor diagnosed it as serotonin syndrome. My psychiatrist has made me stop the moid stabiliser. I'm still really confused about simple things. I completely forgot how to do my job, and I can't lift my legs very high.

So yeah, I'm lucky I didn't die. Make sure the drug combinations you're on and toxic!

Hey guys, I don't actually have epilepsy so I hope it's I'm posting here. I had a seisure in the hospital about 12 hours ago. I was there for a fast heart rate and because I couldn't talk. So anyway I had my first seizure.

I'm having great difficulty walking because legs feel like lead and pulling my body out of bed is really hard because the rest of me feels heavy too, but not as bad as the legs.

Is this normal after a seizure? And how long does it last?

I currently work for the PBS but got advised yesterday that I have been selected to do some work for the NDIS. Has anyone had a similar situation? And if so did it affect your roster or WFH days?

So I recently just start my weight loss journey with a calorie deficit, and am super happy with my weight loss so far!

So we have been together for 8 years now and live together. I have bipolar disorder and often drink when I'm in a depressive episode because I want to escape (not excusing my behaviour just explaining).

About a month ago I drank for 3 weeks straight and this was the straw that broke the camels back. After I had sobered up he told me that he wanted to take a break from the relationship for 3 months. Or at least that he would reassess then. I asked him if he wanted to permanently break up and he said no which gives me a bit of hope.

We're still living toether and we recently just signed another 12 month lease. This was post break up too so he isn't planning on going anywhere or he wouldnt have signed the lease. We still talk everyday though it's me approaching him. He does refuse to answer my calls or texts when he goes out though.

On a more positive note the break up was the kick in the ass I needed to do something about the drinking and it made me go and see my psychiatrist. I told him everything and he said we need to address the depression. He put me on lithium which is honestly the best. I've completely lost my desire to drink.

So regarding the break up, do I take it at face value that this is just a temporary break, or is there a chance he's permanently done and we'll just coexist as housemates/parents?

I had blood taken the other day to check for cancer. I got a message yesterday that I needed to make an URGENT appointment. Five minutes later they sent a message saying it was non-urgent. I spent a solid 5 minutes thinking I was dying.

I have finished half of my masters in Professional Psychology and deferred the second half twice now. I got overwhelmed both times as I was working 3 days a week. I'm meeting with the unit coordinator in May to discuss doing 1 unit per semester.

The thing is since I started taking my lithium I've stopped caring about having a career. I'm feeling content in my entry level government job that allows me to work 4 days per week due to mental health and comes with no stress.

When I did my placement I found it really anxiety provoking doing the role plays to the point I actively avoided doing some of them.

But then there is the sunk cost fallacy where I've spent so many years of my life studying, and have racked up so much debt that I feel like I should finish it.

I'm really at a loss on what to do and have to make a decision by May. I know that no one will probably be able to answer this for me but any advice is welcome!
