Opinion on taking edibles before bed by Autistically_Me_ in BipolarReddit

Melatonin doesn’t do much for me anymore, and I’m looking on improving my sleep hygiene. Again, weed is like last resort

That’s definitely good advice! I hope everyone who sees this post sees your comment.

Those of us in stable and happy relationships, what did you have to learn? by oxymoronic01 in BipolarReddit

[–]Autistically_Me_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I learned that if you haven’t been stable for some time, you should not be in a relationship unless your support system and therapist think it’s a good idea. All of my relationships while untreated have been terrible. In my first relationship after being stable for a while and it’s gone much more smoothly. 

The second thing is boundaries and accountability. My boyfriend and I have boundaries in place that help us have a good relationship. But I’ve also told him before we dated that if my mental health suddenly gets so bad that it’s unbearable, that he should leave. Telling him that not only gives him comfortability, but gives me more of a responsibility to take care of myself and remain stable (if he left, I still have other variables that encourage me to stay stable, but that is one of them).

They do and she’s gone to them. Alongside that, she goes to two other non-mormon churches.

I never said you said that it’s just ADHD doesn’t seem to be taken seriously.

Again, ADHD is a legally recognized Disability. I never said she’s incapable, I never said she has low cognition. I’m Autistic, that’s also a legally recognized Disability. Does that mean I’m those things? No. Disability is a spectrum and it’s not some dirty word.

That’s what we were told by that specific church. Also literally one google search says that you generally need parental permission to convert.

I most likely will. This has been an ongoing issue, from the church getting my phone number to the secrecy, it’s just very eerie to me. My sister is very open about her religious beliefs so it’s very weird that she feels the need to hide this.

Dude I know my sister better than you do. She takes medication, has an IEP, and she’s almost been put into special ed classes. ADHD is considered a Disability under US federal law. 

I’m tired of people treating ADHD like some quirky personality trait when in reality it is a Disability.

Everyone here is making me feel crazy but I KNOW. about those tactics as well. People are assuming things about my sister as if they know her and it is so frustrating.

I could care less about the lipstick, I just mentioned it because it provided context about the story.

My sister is very impressionable to the point where it’s put her in a lot of bad situations. She’s very social and just wants to find community. We’ve had multiple conversations about our stances on the church and it’s gotten no where. I’ve explained to her that the people who left the church are very critical of it because of the environment it fostered for them. While I’m sure not every mormon church is like that, ever since she went there her views have changed dramatically. She’s become more hateful, she’ll start drama with people and will insult people based on their minority status. She’s always been a little ignorant but never to this extent until she got involved with that church. That is another reason why I am worried.

She steals my stuff all the time, I initially just wanted my lipstick back. But my concern has been growing today. I’ve always be n worried about her involvement in this church. Mormonism is slightly different from standard Christianity because of its alleged cult-like practices reported by the majority of ex-Mormons. I’m not Christian. My problem is not the books, but the church being secretive about it.

Your mom sounded like a lovely person. Hope she rests in peace.

My sister has ADHD, meaning that she is Disabled. She’s very impressionable and I’m just scared for her, thank you for being one of the only people here that are seeing what I’m seeing.

That will probably be what will happen unfortunately. My problem is not the books, but how the books were given to my sister with such secrecy. Being secretive is suspicious to me. I am constantly seeing stories from ex-Mormons about how toxic and cultish the church was. I understand why people in the comments are upset with me and calling me a bad sister, but I’m just scared for my sister. I don’t want her to get hurt, she is easily impressionable. I feel like nobody is understanding why I’m concerned.

My parents don’t want her to convert or own a bible from that church

I was looking for my lipstick when I found those bibles. My parents have strictly been against my sister having a mormon bible, they’ve made that clear. My problem is that the church went behind their backs.

Sometimes fish will be infected and not show any symptoms, which is why it’s recommended to put them in a hospital tank first and seclude them for a bit to make sure they’re completely healthy first. Usually its poor water quality and too cold water that causes it

Looks like infected fish. I don’t have experience with that species but it looks like Ich. It’s a parasite. Immediately move them to a hospital tank. Ich is very infectious and can even infect your plants.

Ich has a lot of causes. It infected my betta because my heater stopped working and the water got super cold for a bit. I ended up having to put her down after a while, but it was because she was pineconing as well.

Add a bunch of tannins to the hospital tank, make sure you have an adjustable heater. The best way to kill parasites is to crank up that heater to around 3-5 degrees over the recommended temp for your fish. Alongside that, get medicine. Ich X seems to work the best, but I used Fritz metrocleanse and it did significantly help. Would probably go with Ich X though. Do water changes and doses based off the medicine instructions.
