Re: Dealing WIth Someone Mentally Unhealthy

You get very, very exhausting to deal with.

So yeah, after the nth try, when the same things keep happening? Sometimes that's what WE need to do for US. It'd be different if you were trying. But when your off the goddamn meds you know goddamn well you need... cutting you off may be what it takes.

It sucks, but it's not because we don't like you, it's because we need it.

Thank you. This.

This so much. I'm not saying people do it intentionally, but they do tend to need their friends to function according to their current mood so they'll push and pull and want you around or don't want you around, they want to talk to you every day or they suddenly just drop you and come back when its convenient for them, they need you, they don't need you... And you're supposed to just be fine with that because they're mentally ill. So there just comes the time when you need to be a bit selfish for yourself and that point should be before it starts to fuck up your own life, not after.

Uh, bipolar people can have manic episodes even when they take their meds.

Medication isn't fucking magic you know

I agree that the person that anon is talking about sounds like they aren't trying hard enough, but fuck, I'll admit, I've stopped taking my meds before because of the side effects (YOU try taking lithium and see how you fucking like it).

And even when I'm on them stuff like hormonal changes or alcohol and shit that barely affects a healthy person's moods REALLY fucks with mine.

So yeah, have some god damn empathy

Uh, if alcohol affects you negatively with your meds, don't drink? That is something you can control.

Re: Dealing WIth Someone Mentally Unhealthy

sorry for jumping out of nowhere

but

if you need lithium

eat dates

they have shitload of it for such a little fruit

and because you're getting it through food your body absorbs it easier

I think apples, tomatoes, cherries, strawberries and onions have some of it, but way less than dates

Re: Dealing WIth Someone Mentally Unhealthy

[anonymouslyyours]

I hope you are not advocating someone stop taking prescribed medication in favor of eating fruit.

Re: Dealing WIth Someone Mentally Unhealthy

[(Anonymous)]

no, sorry it came across that way

it was a suggestion to follow if they could not or would not take the medication at all because of the side effects

if they can find meds that don't cause the side effects that made them decide to quit it, that's even better

but finding the right medication takes time, and in the mean time they could try to see if getting it through regular food might help

the frame of mind i followed was "it's better than nothing", with the added incentive of not having the nasty side effects to convince them to try it (assuming they're not allergic or something)

Re: Dealing WIth Someone Mentally Unhealthy

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry if you think having empathy and having limits to how much a single person can take until their own self-defense mechanism kicks in are mutually exclusive.

It's what sympathy can turn into if you've had someone leeching off you emotionally in a one-sided friendship for ages.
