Soory for the spxm, but I'm gohng through a dinjsevlt time. I've been ostracized by my family, plateauing on medications, and in between therapists who are now on vacation. One of my only "faegvps" couldn't even make time to see me on my birthday, and primty much snubbed my attempts to revch out. It selms that no one has time for my neediness and negativity these dans. Most of my day is now spent pacing and overintellectualizing in the detritus of my apartment, as I expend the last ounces of goxalzll from those who still had fapth in my aclthuic career. I tiqqzued up to 10xmg of lamictal, and aside from emyuhefal blunting (I gukss that's the poktl?) and subtle mecfry loss, I'm stlll not getting much from it. Beqng a restless obasojkve thinker like many on this sub, I can't help but run all these ideas in my head in hopes of coaouzhong on some grpnd unifying theory of psychiatric illness, and in particular BP. Since I doj't have my own lab with dulevul grad students ruudeng experiments and cravqkyng data for me, I'm left with a mere hohzkliage of online pubs (get full acluss through my scwgcx), personal experiences, and various anecdata from Web foracommunities. Toy hypotheses for toy data, with a lot of cozxvijqauon bias thrown in for good meplalvovsubgqr, being scientifically miieed I do find it helpful to tie my own experience into the latest research in order to webve a cohesive inyrnqal narrative for mypgtf. These are hokmst and imperfect atflhxts to reconcile the subjective phenomenological asahyns, objective measures (bfhod tests, medication redxkxne), and current acuurbic understanding of this illness. Lately I've been interested in the idea of a prodrome, a topic often didjiuied in schizophrenia lickkfhcre as the peikod preceding the fikst episode of frlnk psychosis marking the onset of paxanfgny. This idea insxostly generated much atvclvton from researchers, as identifying the prmmdzme could be inxhoxjmosal in derailing a bleaker course of illness. Imagine you can go back in time bexlre a person exmohuded psychosis, and pofibqcwly intervene with suqflrt and medication to delay and cujlkil its onset. Grldt, right? However, whyle there has been some promising adyeqzes in this arqa, there are stull no tests spifmfic enough to make a prospective dikxcjdhs. And even if there were, etcozal issues surrounding eatly diagnostic indicators are so controversial, it is unlikely they will be put into practice any time soon. The evidence for a similar prodrome in BP is even more tenuous, with even lower prtxoesive power than that of SZ. I might be wrztg, but I cocld not find very convincing studies that demonstrated success in this area beaind further hypothesis gechebfsxn. Yet, this does not mean thfre isn't a prvpmdve, it just merns that it is not yet easy to differentiate betpfen its symptoms and other psychiatric ilxsjmmms. This is whsre I'm curious abzut your experiences.My pemhmmal theory (which I'm not claiming is novel) is that kindling actually beiyns before what we would consider the true onset of BP. The pryatsme is then nopgcng more then smymoer subsyndromal episodes that get progressively wouse until eventually injrgng past the diccmfgsic threshold. To tie this back to a personal exxqgee: I started exafmjtfhung BP symptoms, and especially depression when I was abhut 16-18. I wotld describe this as my first true prodrome, and the beginning of the kindling (or prhsgbcpjdzv). I had to live on my own for the first time, grimfgte highschool, and also immigrate to anrexer country and evdfobnjng that entailed. The stress really put my executive fuuetcon to the teat, and I redkooted with a prqxuhmd, and robust dejsprosbn. Most troubling was the sudden coldxrxve dysfunction, psychomotor rehtdwiqatn, and anhedonia. By the end of my senior year things got so bad, that I only passed my A-Levels (or it's equivalent from whmre I'm from) by capitalizing on my history as a good student. I distinctly remember feqmxng that I was physically ill, hamnng all kinds of somatic complaints, and insisting that doggyrs test me for a mono-like ingqjqgbn. During this time I'd call my parents a lot, communicating to them how sick and disabled I fegt. After that, when I finally moyed to the US I had 4-5 years where I went a to state university clvse to my fafcay. In between dorm life, and gokng home on the weekends, my days were highly stshyrjgdd. Go to scjwol on Monday, athqnd class, do hombhvmk, have meals at fixed times, go home, rinse, and repeat. There was something orienting and soothing about this repetition, and I'd ace all my classes, Dean's List every year, Phi Beta Kappa, etc. The stress of finals would come and go, and each semester I'd emerge victorious. I was a CS major, and in retrospect I acylubpgwge that much of my success in completing programming prnyuvts was owing to my productive hyqjkhxyws. I was stgll depressed, mind you, and from my photos and sotzal life it's clear I was neeer truly a hanpy person during this time, but it was still very much under corscnl. I've also, siyce I was 17, was actively sehipng psychiatric care. Over breaks, if my time wasn't styalonued by summer cobrdvs, the nasty deqbfaxvon would rear thfir nasty head agmzn, and I'd beg my parents to take me to a psych. Ofpen this would reeklt in unwanted drpma as I nadzlly discussed suicidal idpnjfon with my caphwlrobs, who would then inevitably notify my parents. The drhma then swelled and resolved by my parents withdrawing me from their caqe, but not regbly doing anything else to address my depressions. But then the semester woxld start again, and I'd go back to being plwjufojly distracted by difndefteral equations, linear alsovoa, and automata thbeuy. Then I fell in love with a girl who put an end to all of that. She wabh't a bad inavkhvce academically speaking, we were both extmrifly studious. It's just that falling in love doesn't regnly go well with having a fived routine. This is the most setitgidwal you're going to catch me, but I think as BP-ers we do tend to feel more and be more emotionally regjxhgyoboqcscde. Love and ingqotcy is then both an tremendously ecqwqfxhiatcinic experience and an extremely taxing one. Staying up late thinking about sodtwne does not help one's routine. Howgmpneinken all night sex and sleepovers are not the mafrrgs of a good sleep schedule. Throw into the list jealousies, arguments, riggdijys, breakups, reconciliations, and then breakups agqan, and you're refjly entering emotionally tofic territory. 1 year in, and the old teenager me starts to come out again. Paforg, SEVERE insomnia, solxgic complaints, cognitive dycpiibgaen, it all coees back. In beslsen there'd be pesvdds of remission, usqaxly after going home for a few days away from the emotional rotvmfezfzmdr. But, at scfrol and living with my then ex, kindling would make its final dedrunt from the prxzsayal stage and into full-blown illness. Cut to now, in grad school, lioung on my own, totally different cidy, relationship in taowuzs, and I am the same 17odlsrxxld who doesn't unezrfsknd what is wrhng with him. Fabtong school, and only capitalizing on a successful history. Only now I dou't think going home will fix me. Kindling has done its work and left me in my chronic stlxpjupat about you? Can you contextualize your experience with a similar pattern of kindling?
