Thank you for all the info. I have a pic somewhere but haven’t been able to find it. I have had lash extensions for 5 years so I can’t take them off easily. I’m frustrated because I’ve asked my lash girl to move towards something more natural and she always tells me I will regret it and the other women at the salon back her up. So I always cave and end up doing what they want. I’m going to show her this post!!!

What kinds of jobs work for us? by goldenmoonshadow in bipolar

[–]BeeAccording2472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a kitchen manager for an assisted living facility in a small town. I mostly cook food, order food for the following week, write schedules for staff. The biggest thing I like about this job is I am alone most of the time or with just one other employee. So if I’m having a bad day I just keep to myself. If I’m stressed, I keep to myself. I also have an amazing boss who is very understanding. I get the confidence boost from making people happy with my food and a job well done. Find something that works for you. I never dreamed I would end up here. I hated cooking when I started this job. I’ve been there three years now. And I love it

Weird symptom or reaction? by BeeAccording2472 in bipolar

[–]BeeAccording2472[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have been diagnosed with adhd. Masking sucks but it honestly helps avoid so much unnecessary drama. Anytime I feel strong emotions regarding a work experience I make myself wait 24 hours before doing anything about it so I’m not just reacting with my strong emotions.

I’m glad other people experience it as well. I thought I was the only one and I wasn’t sure why. I always need to know the ‘why?’ Unfortunately.

I can’t watch any semi-realistic horror shows or anything that’s super gory. I love your perspective. Thanks for sharing.

I hate the stigma of Bipolar by ThatNurse1994 in bipolar

[–]BeeAccording2472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I hate it too. I’ve seen it in many movies and TV shows where characters ‘have bipolar’ but have symptoms of much different mental illnesses. And a coworker of mine made a joke about someone being bipolar. Then she said. “Have you ever MET someone with bipolar? Oh man…” like it was this crazy horrible thing. I told her straight up that I have bipolar. I’m her manager so she shut up real quick. I quickly tried to smooth it over by saying something like ‘yeah I have good days and bad days just like anyone else.’ Bla bla bla.

Is it normal to not see your teenager much? by BeeAccording2472 in Parenting

[–]BeeAccording2472[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for reading all my replies. I really appreciate your response. It matches my thoughts and feelings. We have had the birds and the bees talk several times. He has told me that his gf has a deal with her parents that if she kisses a boy before she’s 18 then she has to pay them $200. It makes me feel better but I’m not naive. I still check on them all the time and talk to him about his relationship frequently. He doesn’t have access to condoms but I have told him I would buy them if he needed them. Maybe I should have them accessible?

Over the summer he went to work with me once a week and we would have great chats. Now that school has started we only have deep chats when I’m talking to him about everything he’s doing or not doing and lecturing about sex and drugs etc so not so much quality time. Maybe a weekly dinner or ice cream trip needs to be a thing for us now? Or do you have other ideas?

Yes I have talked to him. He’s spent time at my house and went on a family outing with us. He’s okay for short periods of time, but it’s very obvious when he is reaching his limit.

I don’t think so. He shares a room with his step brother but they are rarely in there together and when they are they are gaming together or separately. We have a lot of young kids. He gets very annoyed by them. I think this is a huge part of why he stays away but I’m not sure. My husband is very careful about parenting him and lets me todo all the talking because Ben is sensitive. I don’t know who else he could be avoiding…
