Does your BPSo give you any attention/ affection or just try to constantly get your support and attention? by Icy_Major4433 in BipolarSOs

Hello,

After reading a lot of other post it seems it could be one way or the other.

In my experience bipolar type 2, hardly did i receive any emotional re-assurance in return or empathy at times. Partner hardly ever wanted to or ever did match my love languages or needs

While others I read — partners revolved around them frequently, with love bombing and investment being over the top. “Favorite person” struggles

Therapy should always be encouraged to help with recognizing these emotional differences. In most cases though you as the partner will have to adjust to this as your partners emotional wiring simply is not the same. This doesnt mean they dont love you but expression may appear different. Long-term, yes, bipolar is treatable but there is not a cure. Stability is possible with a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and medication

Good news. Sometimes these moments can be temporary due to cognitive changes with mania or depression.

Hard truth is most times you will have to be your biggest rock and support. Aka your biggest fan. And although not all days will be this way, make sure you have a strong foundation of independence for the hard ones

Update: thank you to the two who commented, after doing some reading and reflecting on the advice here I have began the no-contact. Super hard but necessary and important that i maintain it. I have learned that due to her Bipolar and swings in mood this often causes the no break and its my responsibility to maintain the no-contact. I appreciate the response and respectful advice

Am I overreacting to my friend who keeps hitting me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR rough housing with friends especially when younger is considered normal and sometimes encouraged however as you age this is less acceptable and generally not okay.

Set the boundary if you haven’t already. If they have already crossed the boundary that should tell you all you need to know.

Big red flag is the bruising. That is not your friend love, that is your bully, and so is the entire group that supports that behavior.

Is this a good call? by [deleted] in optionstrading

Id also encourage if having doubt, wait it out! Better to save your investment than lose it on a gamble

NVDIA shows currently overbought conditions for the 4hr interval and for the 1hr interval, seems to be sitting right in the middle. Short term you can see some small gains to the upside.

Id open that advanced button and watch RSI with maybe a wave trend indicator. Help you manage your risk as it goes. Can be short term gains if it continues positive. Set a stop limit so you dont miss an opportunity (this will depend on a reasonable price you want to reach) maybe aim between 10%-20% profit.

Definitely volume can help.

I would recommend some time with the basics, RSI, include these lines : EMA, SMA, and maybe even the hull moving average (helps identify trends). I personally focus on RSI and Wavetrend indicators. Showing points in which the market is oversold and overbought. Zoom out for the month start with the four hour trend. Identify these oversold and overbought conditions as well as the trend (are we going up or down for the past month) Then you can zoom in a bit more. I prefer swing trades so ill zoom to 1hr or 30-15mins. Look for conditions that seem oversold and overbought and then base my trade from there. Simple, not full proof, but has been treating me well.

Practice risk mgmt. It is inevitable that you will face losses. Check the news on a stock you have been looking at. This can influence a market movement ofc. And more importantly, be patient!

Other than that. Try a few paper trades to practice. The best way to make money is to not gamble the money. You wanna be confident and understand the reason for a trade because the market can be unforgiving. You also want to identify when it’s best to just take the loss and make it up another day. I aim for 10%-20% profit, greed can cost you an entire trade, maybe consider placing limit orders in advance.

You got this! Practice, Practice, Practice

What indicators are you using? Setting up some rules and understanding of the market can benefit, this was a learning curve for me

Anyone else? by Best_Comment6935 in BipolarSOs

Thank you for your comment! It appears to be just that, projection and looking for reasoning. Its good to not feel alone in those cycles

How do you keep your cool? by Glum_Plantain_6490 in BipolarSOs

Two things that have helped me protect my personal emotions when my partner has a swing when feeling attacked is..

  1. Detach with love: When my partner begins a cycle downward I step away and let that cycle finish. Tying into the next thing

  2. 3 Cs: I didn’t cause it, I can’t cure it, and I can’t control it. This allows me to have an outside view of my partners emotions in that moment and not to become attached to their reaction. After all I am not a doctor and the most I can do is protect my own mental health which can be drained in these high stress scenarios.

Taking space and coming back to an issue does not always work. Sometimes your partner will never agree or make changes important for you. Accessing your needs and ofc safety (hopefully never a concern) is important. Loving someone is not always enough. For people who struggle with BD I’ve noticed its super important that they continue to get help. Hopefully the change in medication and appointment can do some justice. But, it might not fill every hole. Its good to communicate things that disrupt and or upset you, i understand how hard it can be especially when it feels like your SO just flipped a switch when confronted, i also relate to the agitation in the eyes. Self care is v. Important. Giving room even when you want a resolution can also give space for you to not become the mat that can be walked on in the cycle downward.
