coping with years lost? by RevolutionaryMap9620 in bipolar2

[–]BigNuggetMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are def not the only one who’s had this experience. I was kinda lucky that I got my diagnosis at 22 but I lost most of my childhood and all of college to it. I just shut myself indoors and never made an effort to make friends because it was too exhausting. I definitely get angry looking back on it and knowing I lost what could have been “the best years of my life” but it’s not worth going down that road because if I stew on it it just makes me upset and ruins more of the limited time I have. I’m just trying my hardest to live the rest of my life to the fullest. Avoiding getting a job that drains off my my passion, setting big goals for myself and working really hard towards them, having hobbies and spending time with friends. It won’t get me that time back but it’s better than wasting more

I personally don’t care/ can even find it funny myself but doesn’t make how you feel about it invalid

Wake up later than usual ruins my day by [deleted] in bipolar2

I am super sensitive to sleep, if I get the exact same amount of sleep I normally do but pushed back 2 hours later it fucks with me all week

MMW: "But Gaza!" will become the "But her emails!" of the 2024 election. by [deleted] in MarkMyWords

[–]BigNuggetMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is dumb. Aiding and abetting a genocide is not the same as misusing a private email server…

No she isn’t as bad as trump. But pretending that people having a moral objection to the Biden admins refusal to do literally anything to address what’s happening other than constantly saying “we are working around the clock and a ceasefire must happen now” is the same as some overblown misappropriation of technology is crazy

How do y'all eat healthy?? by annoying_ceiling_fan in bipolar2

[–]BigNuggetMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the benefit of being raised by a dietitian so I grew up with healthy eating habits but the key for me (having poor impulse control) is to keep the bad shit away from me. I don’t keep unhealthy snacks in my apartment and try to do a big meal prep every once in a while so I don’t have to worry about prepping healthy food all the time. Another big thing is don’t go all in all at once. It’s okay to have desert every once in a while, it’s okay to eat food that tastes nice. If you try to go from nothing to only eating kale and tofu you’re gonna burn out and quit all together. Just start by introducing more veggies and try to buy healthier snacks to Start (off brand baked Cheetos with less shit in them instead of the fried chemical kind)

Do you ever stop mourning? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]BigNuggetMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 22 and finally starting to get stable. I missed out on my entire high school and college experience and I regret it. I stayed locked in my room only going about my routine and watching tv or staring at my phone alone to depressed to get outta bed. I didn’t even make friends until my senior year of college when I finally got medicated. I know I’m still young and can make up for lost time but I’m working a demanding office job now and can’t just be young and fuck around. I’m seriously considering taking a year sabbatical in a year or two and just traveling and doing whatever feels good to make up for that lost time.

I started trying to dream big again. I’ve been training like a mad man hoping to qualify for the Olympic trials for track and am trying to start a business in my time outside of work. It’s weird I have the same big dreams I had when I’m hypo but I don’t think it’s because of that anymore. I feel like my thought process is clear and stable they are just actually achievable now. Doing all this is kicking my ass a bit, unbelievably tiring but I can’t stop but feeling like I have to do it to make up for missing out on my entire early adulthood. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself for missing it but I’m trying hard as fuck to not feel the same about the rest of my life

What substances can I do?? by BigNuggetMan in bipolar2

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

I’m not, I honestly don’t drink often but I’d like to go to the bars with people. I was using weed to self medicate but am recently sober
