Guys I’m frozen. I can #crochet all day. I’m totally hyperfocused on it in fact but I have wasted a whole month doing nothing. I’m not taking care of myself, I’m barely eating, I’m not taking care of my house, I’m not keeping up with wedding stuff, I’m not paying any attention to our finances. I’ve just totally shut down.

These mood swings have been happening for decades. More down than up. You think I’d know how to make myself do the things to snap myself out of it by now.
#ADHD #bipolarII

I can go looking for research of course... but does anyone know without
special work on your part if Ketamine can be used for Bipolar Type II
with rapid cycling?  Have a client asking doctors about this and I'm
curious.

Links to any resources appreciated.

#introduction pt 3.

I was diagnosed with #ADHD in elementary school. #BipolarII last year.

I’m #bi or #pansexuel but married to a man. I’m probably agender or similar but it’s not a huge part of my identity - I just know I’ve never felt strongly about being a woman but after a lot of introspection I’m not a man either.

I’m a #leftist, at least by US standards. Disillusioned by the state of my country as a whole.

I have an #ebike I ride sometimes but it hasn’t replaced my car entirely.

I’m Megan from #ohio. I love #reading trashy novels and #taylorswift. I have #BipolarII, #immunodeficiencies, and #asthma. Also #queer 🌈

Hey y’all! Guess it’s time to put up an #introduction. My name is Kristen, I’m 37 years old and I live in #UpstateNY, born and raised.

I am #disabled. I was diagnosed with #fibromyalgia at 19. I am highly suspicious that I also have #MEcfs and #MCAS (the latter as a result of #LongCOVID) but have not been diagnosed with either. I’m also #GlutenIntolerant, boo hiss.

I am #neurodivergent and have #MajorDepressiveDisorder, #BipolarII, and #anxiety. I’m also 99.9% sure I have #ADHD. 1/

Also seeing a claimed tendency to have #PanicDisorder / #Agoraphobia or anxiety in general along with #BipolarII. Somewhere in the citations I think I saw something about a shared genetic locus but I haven't gone looking for that yet.

It's really fascinating to watch researchers teasing apart how the brain works from various angles tbh. The Western analytical knife has its drawbacks but it sure is good at finding patterns.

More than one article out there links #BipolarII with #AtypicalDepression. Hmm.

People with so-called atypical #Depression - those who tend to sleep more, eat more, be anxious & rejection sensitive - also tend to have a mood which improves fairly quickly when life goes their way. This is claimed to be similar for people diagnosed with #Bipolar II.

There is a lot of phenotypic overlap between people diagnosed as one or the other. Maybe they're pretty much the same thing, maybe it's a spectrum.
