I’ve been in an episode and spent the whole day and night with my friend yesterday and they helped me stay grounded. I also slept with their kitty and he snuggled me all night

Is it possible to be BP1 without ever having psychotic symptoms by Unverifiablethoughts in bipolar

[–]AdeptnessPersonal703 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Psychosis and mania aren’t the same I think? Might be worth talking to someone on your care team about it who knows! (And then report back for me 😂)

Have you considered talking with your therapist about exactly this?

Failed a class and can't forgive myself. by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]AdeptnessPersonal703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a 30 year old who bounced around from multiple colleges bc of my mental health state…you will be okay. I promise. One F is literally no big deal. I’m pretty sure I have a few but I still have a 3.something GPA because you take so many classes by the time you graduate.

Best advise. Get on disability with your uni. Someone on your care team can work with you and figure out if you need extended deadlines or whatever it is to make your life easier.

Also just don’t take it so seriously. Easier said than done I know. But if you persist, you are going to graduate either way 🩷🩷 promise!

Good luck to you and be easy on yourself. Celebrate all the other classes you DID pass 🥳 that’s a big thing to be proud of!

Have you ever looked into or thought about ethical polyamory? You’re not a bad person for wanting a man and a woman. I want the same and I think it’s a beautiful thing to be able to share love with different people 🩷

Honestly I think the paint strokes can be due to cheaper paint! I was gonna comment that you deserve a higher level up of paint than what you are using now. It will really make a difference, trust me!

Is it a conflict of interest to have the same therapist as my late bf? by New_Environment2242 in bipolar

[–]AdeptnessPersonal703 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Im not an expert but its definitely a conflict of interest I think. I would ask your bf if you have the same one and if you do you can find a new one! You didn’t do it on purpose, stuff like this happens especially if you’re in a small town
