So about a week ago I had a full blown manic episode with psychotic features. It went from me believing I somehow ran across a glitch and I obtained a shit ton of crypto currency. Then I was convinced my cousin was out to get me for stealing the crypto. In my head he ended up getting arrested for something and it was on video. In my thought process everything on my phone was accurate (definitely not). I showed my aunt the “proof” but what I was showing her didn’t add up at all. I was delusional and was paranoid so in that moment I changed all my passwords to all accounts on my phone and set 2 step authentication for all my banking apps. My aunt noticed and tried to snap me out of it. She said she talked me and everything sorta added up but then she said I lost her and my story wasn’t consistent and it was all over the place. It took me about a week to finally feel “normal.” I was down bad for a cool minute but this episode was different and totally messed up mind. I didn’t pick up my phone for a good week. Comments and insight are welcome 🫡

anyone have an thoughts on taking meds for bipolar. I have bipolar 2 with psychotic features. I’m basically being a lab rat once again and adjusting my meds and dosages. of course I’m on l I t h I u m to keep me stable. I switched out p r i s t i q for l e x a p r o. and I’ve been on z y p r e x a for the longest. I also have script for k l o n o p i n for my panic attacks. I’ve tried so many different combinations of meds and when I’m experiencing high highs or low lows, I’ll recalibrate my meds and play with dosages or possibly take different meds. right now I’m currently in the process of tapering up on l e x a p r o, increasing my z y p r e x a, and increasing my l i t h i u m. as well. Typically I get my labs done every 3 months so they can check my med levels and the effects it has on my body.

hi people. I’m new here. I’m more than happy to share and connect with everyone. I have bipolar type two I’d be lovely to have a supportive community I can come to.
