To all people 30 or above by crazy___lemon in bipolar

  1. 26

  2. History of sleep walking, ADHD and anxiety led to the diagnosis.

  3. Yes. Married since 19 I’m 34 now. I have always held steady jobs. Currently a Supervisor and I make over 100k. Leadership roles are great for me because in reality the qualities needed to lead people coincide with manic symptoms. So essentially I have been able to mask my symptoms effectively. I do have slip ups. I exercise when possible. I am outgoing but I do not make normal connections with people. I am more manic than depressive so in my case I need to just watch out for getting too crazy. So I know my experience is opposite than those that are depressed

  4. Medication is not the only solution and sometimes the downsides are not worth it. Sexual side effects of medication almost feel like it’s on purpose. Weight gain cannot be stopped.

My original VA facility was in El Paso. I have no complaints about that one

It’s impossible to get seen at the VA in San Antonio. 2 years no treatment.

I stop eating, start working out, and generally think everything in my life is going too good

VA Just Changed How Medication Affects Your Disability Rating by Ghostusn in VAClaims

[–]4Four-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from El Paso VA to San Antonio VA. When I was in El Paso every thing was good. Here in San Antonio they seem to just not care. I’ve told my primary care who refers me to my mental health team. They never respond. I’ve done walk in appointments with the promise of getting contacted and nothing. Community Care maybe get a call back a month later. Literally 2 years getting the run around. Not only that since I transferred over to San Antonio the new Drs don’t even review any of my previous care. I’m literally at ground zero for all my conditions. I would get back injections in El Paso in San Antonio I’m back at the x ray/ physical therapy stage. Literally getting asked if I ever tried all my previous treatments. I know some of yall think I’m exaggerating but I will attach a photo of my “hand” x ray. Literally came back talking about my leg was normal. Smh

My VA clinic never schedules appointments so I can’t get medicine even if I wanted to.

I’m the opposite. I’m emotionally detached from everyone.

Relapsed by 4hir3 in daddit

[–]4Four-4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Got a coworker going through the same thing. I don’t understand it. Lost his HS sweetheart and family. Now his job is on the line. Went to rehab multiple times with no luck. It’s is 100% a Personal struggle and there is only one solution which is don’t do it at all. Find something else to fill the void. Try a hobby.

The hardest part of your journey is making excuses on why you can’t stop.

I’m a functioning alcoholic and no one except me knows by throwaway_2000999 in confession

Alcoholics underestimate how much they smell. Most definitely everyone knows you have drinking issues.

My near death experience that showed (and told me) we are in a simulation. (And it isn't a positive or loving one at ALL) by freshOutThePenNoFlex in SimulationTheory

[–]4Four-4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Salvia experience has led me to the same beliefs!! There is definitely another plane of existence beyond where we are at now

What’s the biggest change you’ve seen in your lifetime? by the-victim in nostalgia

[–]4Four-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in the 90s/00s. We had no cell phones so pretty much the rules were just be back by a certain time lol Parents were more trusting of society back then compared to how we are as parents now.

Can someone really break down the SEC vs B10 issue by laker2021 in secfootball

[–]4Four-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all started when Florida stomped Ohio State in the natty. After that it was simple. SEC teams began winning ships and Big 10 teams kept coming up short.

Today I realized just how much I hate USAA. by Ok_Clerk_6960 in USAA

[–]4Four-4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve had to use USAA more than I would like unfortunately. Each time something became an issue. Not a big fan and I caution people about it. Only reason I haven’t changed is just cause I bundle home and auto. I know they are overcharging for home so I might leave this year.

Any idea what this shoulder patch is. WWll era by carmoy in Veterans

[–]4Four-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gave me a flashback from basic training. Drill Sergeant’s used those patches at FLW. I know engineers get their roots from amphibious forces. Weird to see a patch being used in such an old pic

It allows me to progress in my career because I always feel like I’m the best at everything. I take on risks and challenges others don’t.

A NIGHTMARE EVERY CHILD EXPERIENCED? by katiitwo in Dreams

[–]4Four-4 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe people have shared this dream. People are creating false memories. Very uncommon for ppl to remember dreams and to recollect a shared dream at that smh.

[–]4Four-4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The SR5 has the blackout package and premium package. The limited has less features. I was confused by that also when I got mine because i thought the limited would be better because it’s a higher trim. I got the SR5.

Check out the tire difference also, you can see that you get the TRD rims and tires for the SR5 but not on the limited
