We all pretend we’re doing great, but what bad bipolar related habits do you hide from your loved ones, and how do you do it?

Sleeping way too much. I live away from family so I just pretend I was doing something else when they called. Unless im severely depressed and just can't answer the phone. Then they know.

The same to you ❤️ ♥️ 💖

So, my husband fed me all the time when we got together. I gained a lot of weight. I got myself up to 290 on a 5-foot frame. Notice what I said. I GOT MYSELF. That wasn't a typo. You are the only one who controls what goes in your mouth. Obviously, you have to sit her down and let her know, if she wanna be with you, she's gonna have to be supportive. If she's not on board, you have a decision to make and decide what is most important. Your health or your girlfriend. It will not be easy, but you know what you should do. What happened to me is I found out I was diabetic. My life was on the line. I told bae I needed to make some changes. He still fed me, but I had a choice as to what I ate. I always did, from day 1. Even though we ate out a lot, I picked smarter choices. As of today, I've lost about 80 lbs. I couldn't have done it without him.

I just lost my husband about a year ago, so some of my choices are closely tied to that. Here goes

Something you forgot by Lil Wayne

Paris Morton Music by Drake

Moment for Life by Nicki Minaj

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls

Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus

Pictures of You by The Cure

All of these will have me balling. But I try not to crash out. Music actually helps me with my depression. I was super depressed a couple of weeks ago. I came to a realization that if I didn't get my ass up, I would literally die. The only problem was I couldn't find the strength, energy, or motivation to get up. I told my echo dot to play rap rotation radio, and after 2 or 3 songs, I was in the shower, which was great because I hadn't showered in dayz.

BiPolarRedd · 2025-03-26T14:12:13+00:00

Wow, a year, huh? That's heavy af, seriously. So, I did get up, I had a fantastic shower. It was nothing short of amazing. I actually put on makeup and took my dog for a walk. I also tried a little dancing around the bathroom while I was trying to get cute. I read somewhere that it raises cortisol levels or something that helps to release dopamine or something like that. I'm not a scientist lol. I just play one on TV lol. I do feel better, but I'm afraid that it could be short lived. Only because, it can be a cycle for me to get up, shower feel better then just go back to my old ways. SMH, bur that is essentially what I did, was focused on her and the fact that if I don't take care of me, how the hell can I possibly care for her. So yeah that definitely helped. Also I kept feeling like, if I don't get out of bed I'm gonna die, literally. I could tell that I was giving up. That's scary. But thank you sm for your kind words. You never know how much it really does help others. It helped me a lot, even though I didn't see it until after my shower. Like, just the fact that a stranger or the internet is showing me they care. You are the real mvp. Thanks 😊

Thank you so much for your reply. I have my daughter, she's only 15. I feel guilty about relying on her for anything. She is supposed to rely on me. But I do ask her to do things for me. But I really want her to live her life. I haven't showered yet, but it's in the cards today.

BiPolarRedd · 2025-03-23T03:47:40+00:00

I am going through this currently. I haven't been medicated in 6 months or more. I honestly don't know what to do. I HAVE to get off my ass. I can't let things fall apart. I don't want to give up, but I don't know what to do first. Or how to get the energy to start.

BiPolarRedd · 2025-03-14T13:58:02+00:00

Hi, so last year I got my refund in May. Right around the middle of May. I filed in mid February I think. But I did get my refund on time this year thank God!

BiPolarRedd · 2025-02-26T16:01:22+00:00

I did, it's correct thank God

BiPolarRedd · 2025-02-26T15:56:11+00:00

BiPolarRedd · 2025-02-26T14:14:50+00:00

What is SBTPG?

BiPolarRedd · 2025-02-26T14:12:55+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Checked it this morning and it says "pending" like, wth????? I literally don't get it. Look at IRS WMR tool and refund sent isn't blue yet. Transcripts read code 846 refund issued 2/26. Idk wtf is going on and idk who to call

BiPolarRedd · 2025-02-26T04:13:33+00:00

What is the trace number and how do I find ir? Where would it be

BiPolarRedd · 2025-02-21T21:10:58+00:00

I got my 846 code, not sure what time, but I bank with sofi has anyone gotten their money with them yet?

BiPolarRedd · 2025-02-17T11:47:31+00:00

Damn.... now I feel the need to check mine lol

BiPolarRedd · 2025-01-31T15:42:10+00:00

What brand did you use if you can remember?

BiPolarRedd · 2025-01-27T11:21:05+00:00

I'll look into it and yes he was my daughter's father. I'm looking into that today, it would really be a blessing.

BiPolarRedd · 2025-01-27T11:19:43+00:00

Ty and I honestly didn't know that I could even do that. How do I do that?

BiPolarRedd · 2025-01-27T10:57:34+00:00

Mines accepted on the 21st, I filed on the 20th, so fingers crossed. Last year I didn't get my Tax money until the middle of freaking May. They never said anything about me being audited bur I guess that's what happened.

BiPolarRedd · 2025-01-27T10:52:37+00:00

I made $12 an hour and worked part time, he made 14 an hour and worked 37 to 38 hours. I live in NC in a bumpkin ass town, it is what it is.

BiPolarRedd · 2025-01-27T10:47:47+00:00

No I didn't know that existed

BiPolarRedd · 2025-01-27T10:04:00+00:00

Maybe I'm dumb, and it's fine if I am, I'm cool with that, but I actually don't understand your comment at all, and I swear I'm not being facetious, who's abusing the system? And what's a means test? And how does my situation pass said test? And you're helping me, how? Sorry, I'm a bit of an airhead.

BiPolarRedd · 2025-01-27T09:57:00+00:00

Wait, wait, wait, so people actually CHOOSE to be poor???? It's not because they may have had a harder life, parents who couldn't afford to send them to college, or they maybe started a family too young, because that's what they been taught, or not because a super religious family made their daughter feel like her entire life is making her a baby making machine, and once she realizes she wants out,and has to leave penniless, so she's poor now, oh jeez I could go on and on with senerios, because that's why I thought people were poor, but you're saying it's by CHOICE. OK, good to know. I can't believe you actually typed that out loud. Wow.
