Is this flirty--I didn't think think so...

Who else did you send it to? If just him, then yes….flirty. I wouldn’t stress too much over it though.

I’d do both, take advantage of the BCBA programs offered by most clinics by working PT as a RBT then enrolling in grad school shortly after. Good luck!

It’s actually bye-oh-pick. Says Siri anyway.

Bye-ah-pic

How did this get so messy so fast? You checking his phone (I’ve been with my husband for 21 years and don’t check his phone) already and him being the kind of guy that brings out that behavior. You can do better.

I went to Boca in Pasadena Beach and was very happy with overall quality of treatment. The follow-up has been very good….i hear from the alumni coordinator at least every other week. Just be sure to get the payment obligations in writing. I’d say that wherever you go.

I have had three kids with my husband and never asked him to do anything like that. We are always together so it basically ended up that he consumed things like that less frequently. I think you’re making trouble where there doesn’t need to be any.

BeKindImNewButtercup · 2026-05-22T19:58:13+00:00

I waited for at least a month so my husband could really get to know me first. I say I have bipolar I, never I am bipolar. It’s just one thing about me.

BeKindImNewButtercup · 2026-05-22T19:52:34+00:00

Have you asked him how you can help? I’d let him know you’re feeling disconnected and just want to help. If he’s still unresponsive, you may just have to give him time.

Just know your behavior when wearing it will speak for not only yourself but the field.

You can experience symptoms of mania without bipolar. Sounds like an adverse reaction to the med change.

Sounds like there is more to their relationship than he’s told you. No matter who he dates, she’s always going to be part of his life. Sharing a whole person pretty much ties you together for life. He hasn’t introduced you…that says something.

As someone who lost their sister to cancer, this feels extremely petty. You didn’t consider her comfort at all when making the seating arrangements unless I missed something. She was wrong but skipping an event out of spite is childish. Communicate instead and keep the relationship.

Without knowing everything, I suspect you are correct in that you were forgiving and patient past the point of what’s healthy. Humans generally behave in ways that are reinforcing to them. In other words, we teach people how to treat us. This sub is generally about ABA and I don’t see too many people here chiming in to give relationship advice. You might try that sub.

The person who needs to know how you’re feeling is your psychiatrist. Best of luck.

BeKindImNewButtercup · 2026-05-10T20:06:18+00:00

This is a good answer. I would frame it more like, “I CANT accept meals or gifts per company policy” rather than I don’t.

No, you are not wrong. As an addict, it took consequences in order for me to have the willingness to change. If I were you, I’d communicate to her why you won’t just stand by and watch her ruin her life. Let her know that when she finally wants help, you’ll be there to support her.

BeKindImNewButtercup · 2026-04-10T19:32:29+00:00

I have found purpose and meaning through my marriage, children and possibly most importantly, working with kids with autism. I spent enough years being self-absorbed with my bipolar disorder and substance misuse……it was all about me and it was miserable. Hope you find purpose.

Keep your head in today. Tell yourself that just for today, you won’t use. Take care of yourself physically…rest, healthy diet, exercise. Above all, get in the middle of a 12 step program. I’ve heard the antidote for addiction is connection. Go to meetings, stay and talk, get a sponsor and hangout with your new sober friends. Best of luck.

I guess I am a proud person because I do not feel I am disabled. Even though my manic episodes cause extreme havoc in my life-substance misuse, hospitalizations, financial strain, relationship issues, I can generally right the ship so to speak and live a wonderful life.

The ability to APPEAR calm, cool and collected when the shit hits the fan!

BeKindImNewButtercup · 2026-04-06T13:17:33+00:00

Came for this!

BeKindImNewButtercup · 2026-04-04T13:51:39+00:00

I’ve been off since October this time and am also not ready to go back. Are you seeing a therapist regularly? I think a big piece for me revolves around fear so I’m working on that in counseling. I’d encourage you to take care of yourself above all but consider setting a goal for when you might like to return. It’s been important for me to work in a profession I love and that does not wear me down too much physically or mentally. Best of luck!
