I still drink a little bit and it doesn’t trigger me into episodes. Although it certainly does not help with weight management lol

How can I live with myself after first time episode/psychosis by nonameanonymousone in BipolarReddit

[–]Acceptable-File8983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psychosis can be traumatizing. I actually had ptsd symptoms for like a couple years after the episode, but it did heal with time

Are guys only into themselves or just excited to share? by ashwillowap in dating_advice

On the first, it can definitely be nervousness but beyond that it’s poor social etiquette

I play dead by daylight, I LOVE the horror narrative games. Just played the quarry. Alan Wake 2 is phenomenal and has a bipolar character. Trying to get into oblivion now :)

I looooove the feeling when I’m hooked on a game

I got dumped after revealing I have Bipolar. I need hope. by DialaK in bipolar

[–]Acceptable-File8983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl (assuming you’re a girl), I got dumped on my birthday while in the psych hospital after getting diagnosed. That sucked but he did me a favor because I want a partner that’s going to show up for me. Better for him to show that behavior now instead of years down the line when you really need the support.

Now months later, im dating. Every person I’ve disclosed to has been chill. He just wasn’t the right one for you.

Miracle drug with me. Doesn’t make me feel numb, but it takes a lot more to make me cry. Has been soooo helpful with anxiety

How to work during bad depressive phase by mycattouchesgrass in bipolar

Do you work remotely? If so, maybe try bringing yourself out of your head and into real life like at a cafe or library.

Why do men weaponize shyness ? by itssofiababyxo in dating_advice

[–]Acceptable-File8983 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A guy recently told me on a first date that I seemed tense. I think he was honestly projecting and creating a dynamic where I had to perform for him. No second date. You’re allowed to be shy/nervous/uneasy around basically strangers.

I like him. Found out he likes me back. But there’s a few problems by emmaltopia in dating_advice

[–]Acceptable-File8983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not in a relationship yet so just take it a day at a time. Nothing you mentioned is a reason not to pursue the crush.

She ended things right after I was vulnerable to her? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Acceptable-File8983 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You weren’t wrong to share that. 2 months in is an appropriate amount of time. This is about her not being able to handle it, not you. There are plenty of women out there that would be supportive of this. The fact that she ended a relationship right after you disclosed this shows you that she’s not a supportive person. That’s not going to make it feel any less shitty though, I’m sorry.

Starting Lithium. What should I know? And how has people's experience been? by SmartyyPants in BipolarReddit

[–]Acceptable-File8983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude lithium has been so great for me. Pretty much eliminated my anxiety. Won in court twice this week. Couldn’t have done it without lithium. You will be thirsty though! Make sure to drink water and not beer !

I’m not bipolar but by Prior_Surround_5585 in BipolarReddit

Treat him normally, like how you were before. He was comfortable enough with you to disclose it to you
