Thank you for saying this! The insistence in this sub that each episode leads to erosion has caused me SO much anxiety as I’m trying to figure out meds. Trying different cocktails has almost always given me another episode of hypomania and I’m close to just giving up since the side effects are also hell.
Even low dose lithium is neuroprotective and beneficial
Maybe, but it def worsened my quality of life :// kinda lost since I’ve tried most meds with little luck
Are you in therapy?
Yes! Have been for 5 years, both DBT and CBT, though CBT is a bit of a bust :( hard tho bc my insurance changed so I’m also limited there. Hoping to one day try EMDR since I have a lot of trauma that may be causing CPTSD, which isn’t an official DX in the DSM but is recognized in other countries (I think at least Canada?) that use a different book to diagnose.
Do the EMDR!!! It’s incredible. I no longer relive my trauma over and over again. I rarely even think about it. Feels like a miracle.
I just got on caplyta and its really changed things for me. It's a very new drug. I would ask your psych about it.
