ICYMI last week, you can now read or listen to my short story “In the Zone,” about a bipolar artist who discovers she has a special power to aid immigrants, at Lightspeed: www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/in-t...

As her head hit the pillow, Yadira felt exhausted and relieved. Exhausted, because she’d worked on a very large collage almost the whole day straight. Her shoulder blades ached from hunching over her ...

Also for the 801346498246293487623th time, "BPD" is the official abbreviation for borderline personality disorder, NOT bipolar disorder (BD or bipolar). There is no "other BPD."

My meds don't cure my bipolar disorder they just give me time to think before I act. Basically limiting the severity of manic behavior and depression

What's wild is that I have the most stereotypical presentation of autism/ADHD. I didn't even go to school until 5th grade because there's no way I would have been able to sit still. I was just born female and it was the 90's

The same thing happened with pain meds and antibiotics. They were overprescribed for so long, now it feels like you have to beg for amoxicillin

My doctor told me she saw many elderly female patients who essentially drank themselves to death in order to cope. They were functional alcoholics. I was well on my way to becoming one of them. I feel like ADHD meds were over prescribed, and now those that need them are punished

I was diagnosed with bipolar (I'm not) anxiety (I wasn't) and depression (okay, fair) before anyone considered I might be ADHD. What this article fails to mention is how many severely ADHD people turn to other drugs if they are not medicated. I had severe insomnia and suicidal ideation at times

blaming pedophilia on bipolar disorder is next level
Somewhat different tone previously.

i think it's reasonable to access that. If Autism tends to result in independent thinking by rejecting social conditioning, it seems likely you'd end up being vulnerable in general to psychological conditions relying on a altered view of reality.

yeah that's total bunk haha. bipolar is more genetically inheritable than either autism or ADHD and schizophrenia and bipolar are both present from birth in terms of brain alterations

I’ve been under the impression that the difference is theoretically innate vs. acquired…which is also very fuzzy.

It’s a bit like dissociative stuff, which is also very stigmatized and I think also can at least often be considered neurodivergence. There are so many effects on the nervous system level in all these things.

They get confused for each other a lot, too!

like I think there's probably a distinction between ptsd/BPD/CTPSD psychosis and "organic" psychosis just in terms of the symptoms (it tends to be shorter, triggered, and lacking cognitive deficits) but it's clearly in the same general ballpark!!

I very much believe that the bipolar and schizophrenic spectrums, overexcitability, and even PTSD should be considered forms of neurodivergence

(full disclosure i think the "distinction" between neurodivergence and many mental illnesses--particularly bipolar and schizophrenia--is nonsense on every level. but i try to use the most accepted language, which argues that they're different things despite having zero evidence to support it haha)

I was forced off Elvanse this year in Feb after 5 years due to high blood pressure. Bullied out of my corporate job and fired from a blue collar one. Now I have bipolar. ADHD meds can prevent bipolar onset in my experience.

Given how bad smoking is for you, you could probably justify prescribing stimulants to children with ADHD on that basis alone.

Children with ADHD who are on medications for ADHD are also much less likely to go on to start smoking! I'm not sure how much of that is specific to nicotine though, since they're also less likely to go on to drink heavily or use various other non-stimulant drugs.
