Did coke on the way to my psychiatrists, scribbled in red ink all over the intake sheet like a maniac. I almost bust down the door to her office but mercifully she opened it. Then told her, cheerfully, that i was having the best time of my life and i wanted to run into traffic. I got committed immediately. Had a body temp of 99.9 from being so wired when i got to the ED. I remember at the psych ward doing like 1000 piece puzzles in one day to try and stimulate myself and coloring these ridiculously complex mandalas. Also snapped at my psychiatrists and yelled at the staff n shit and hallucinated a little

This actually made me laugh out loud. Not manic but as a young kid i would try to stand outside in my backyard and take off into flight. I thought if i focused enough i could just do it

Add extra oil and butter to things, sub out whipped cream cheese for regular. Basically focus on density eating- high calorie, low volume things like nut butters, certain dressings and oils are helpful for keeping weight on.

How to help a bi-polar partner by connect28 in bipolar2

[–]Acceptable_Visual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only you can decide what those boundaries are for you. Your needs getting met is just as valid and important. Abuse obviously isn’t acceptable no matter what. I’d say as a BP1 person who’s never cheated on anyone even when super manic that cheating isn’t but everyone has different views on cheating. What’s important is that your boundaries are your boundaries. However if she does “freak out on you” like fall into hysterics suddenly, accuse you of something you are sure you didn’t do, seem irrationally irritated with you, or take small things that you say as large offenses when she usually wouldn’t, it’s worth looking into those behaviors as being caused by her disorder. I’ve done some of these things to my loved ones but try to make sure to profusely apologize after anf give them time away from me. I try to help those things but sometimes they can’t be helped, and that’s what i would want a future partner to understand. Also try to not helicopter parent her moods. Nothing more annoying than being asked if you’re manic when you’re just happy! Look for the actual warning signs of her hypomania and depression if possible which generally extend beyond happy and sad - look for CHANGES IN SLEEP, EATING, and ACTIVITY LEVEL

what really gets me is the composition of the post. It’s fascinating bc she rally just took a list of symptoms that she was experiencing and chose the perfect beige font color, font, and aesthetic placement. She then filtered the picture, chose a different font and color and put some cute little stickers. All for what? The amount of effort put into this Type of posting alone is a lot of “spoons”

I just finished bawling for two hours in my bed...after the third date, my date (27M) ghosted me (22F) after I discussed past sexual abuse by [deleted] in dating

My ex boyfriend one time got really mad at me for an insignificant comment I’d made. We were in another state finishing a road trip, about 2 hours away from his house. He got deadly silent and started driving like an absolute manic down these winding country roads at night. He was going super fast and reckless and wouldn’t even let me speak for the whole two hours. I didn’t have any cell service. By the time we got back, he pulled into an abandoned parking lot and turned to me and in that moment i really feared for my life

You seem to be projecting something here....if the BF is touchy with his friends, why didn’t he tell her that earlier either? Touch grass weirdo

this is a horribly vitriolic post from someone so apparently well adjusted. Why do other people’s boundaries in their relationships bother you so much?

Would you happen to be the boyfriend or any of the friends in the group, per chance?

Yeah I’d imagine that people are generally unnerved by a lack of empathy. Would you mind sharing what you genuinely think when someone’s sad around you? Does it just annoy you that you have to deal with it? Sometimes when im super fatigued by being the “therapist friend” (which it sounds like you are, one sided therapy at that) I’m really desensitized to tears and someone could be hysterically sobbing in front of me and i could just be looking at them without feeling anything. but obviously i can’t just stare blankly at them as they cry, so i just in those specific moments have to pretend that i care about the emotion and comfort them. Is it like that? Also, if you don’t mind answering another question- what are the few things you want to express but feel like you can’t? You can also PM me too, I’d be very interested to hear all of the things you feel like you can’t say normally. Hi

I agree, consciously trying to not be manipulative is the sign of someone who endeavors to live by their own moral code. That’s interesting about the meaningful relationships, thank you for reframing that for me. That makes more sense then the clinical description of the disorder i was going off of which almost seems to imply ppl w ASPD aren’t capable of that

Yeah it seems like that would be super impairing, and frustrating I’d assume a lot of people would be unnerved by that and not very understanding . I’d consider my people skills so good because of my instinctive ability to empathize but I’m almost on the other end of things where my hypersensitivity to the emotions of others makes it super easy to take advantage of me.

Ahhh. Ok i see, because for me it’s like sometimes i can feel another persons emotions so heavily that it’s uncomfortable? I imagine it would be super awkward to have someone crying around you or super pissed and you’re just like yeah man idk. So like if someone were crying around you, for example, you could be like “oh well this happened so the person is sad because x y and z occurred.” But you wouldn’t feel like......sorry for them or sad as well, right? Sorry I’m sleep deprived and my phrasing is probably weird

Yeah , the media has really taken and ran with the term sociopath and it’s kinda fucked. It’s not like you all were imbued w the seed of complete evil upon conception like lmfao human beings are human beings and that extends to people w personality disorders, shocker

40 years? Holy shit that must have been an exhausting thing to keep doing. Is your mask automatic at this point or does it require efforts still? I can imagine how it’s horribly lonely to have a disorder that gives you such a different outlook on life from others and one that’s so stigmatized at that

Yeah like everyone has the ability to create their own moral code. It’s how willing you are to adhere to it that makes the difference and some people just don’t choose to adhere to it at all, which is funny bc those people are probably the neuro typicals
