right now though... my diagnosis is bipolar hypomania... and my medications has gone way down, right now i'm taking epilim, zydis and solian twice a day
the dosage is 100mg solian and 200mg epilim every morning and 10mg zydis, 150 mg solian and 200mg epilim every night... this is quite low actually... as i've made really great progress in the past 3 years...
my initial dosage was messed up.. i had 3 packets and 2 bottles and had to take like 3 pills from each packet and bottle every morning and night... but that was insane now things are much better... i think that since you're on here... your still in limbo... between your delusions and doubting them...
i know that feeling most of the time in that state my instincts and mind is tearing away at my reality and telling me that everything i feel is real but my rationale mind have some doubts that its true.... i've gone through that a lot and you might be able to relate to that.... its a troubling state of mind....
but for me whenever i'm in that state i go on forums and read about other people's experiences who go through similar things and that helps and keeps me grounded...
are you an adult..? are you alone or do you have someone or people close always around?
for me my symptoms started when i was 13 years old... i was reading something in the hallway on a board... and i thought my friend heard my thoughts... i was strangely convinced and my delusion started since then.... i thought people could feel my emotions... and after some time it progress to hearing everything that went through my mind... i used to confirm my delusions by finding clues in peoples stares.... but for me it was different it was me who was uncomfortable not the other way around....
people used to stare at me all the time... and i took that as evidence that my delusions are true... the more convinced i got the more my disease progressed and the symptoms got worse then after some time i got really depressed...
but that was my case... you're seeing a professional and are seeking help... with the right medications you can prevent things from getting worse... remember one thing... knowing your diagnosis is a good thing... but the most important thing is to get the right meds... with the right meds that works for you... you can recover.. and be better than an ordinary person
i'm 24 now... its been just 11 years since my first real symptoms... and right now i'm in my recovery phases and when i look at myself and think of what i've achieved... though lacking, i'm better of than a lot of people who are completely normal... i have a different perspective on life.... and right now its all for the better...
so make sure you seek help... forget about the stigma... focus on making sure your symptoms don't progress for the worse.... i actually don't care about the stigma... not even a little bit...
once you feel better you can focus on you life to a greater extent
best wishes![]()
