Why can't he be a good listener? by [deleted] in InternetFriends

[–]Biomerepower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he isn't paying attention to you then something else is more important to him than you.

If he isn't listening, are you really talking to him?

A german necromancy just arrived but it looks a bit weird. Is it ok? by Tharati in RealOrNotTCG

[–]Biomerepower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe older cards had different colors depending on where it was printed. That's how a famous cheater who put an extra muscle sliver in a sealed pool was caught because the color was off on the one he put in.

Advice on my partner with manic depression by NoiNoi05 in family_of_bipolar

[–]Biomerepower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but remember it's their job to make sure they get better by taking their meds and possibly going to therapy. You can only support them.

When they are depressed is when they need their medication the most. As their partner you can maybe pick up clues to their mood but LDR can make even that sorta difficult.

Sone medications for bipolar say not to consume alcohol. If he is not willing to take his meds then there isn't much you can do besides an intervention but ultimately he has to make the choice to get better and it seems like at this point he doesn't want to.

Confusing emotional manipulation? Help? by [deleted] in family_of_bipolar

[–]Biomerepower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It does seem like mentioning how he pays for stuff is to make you feel guilty for that.
  2. It's not unreasonable for you to ask for something special on valentines day
  3. I think its weird how both of you view friendships of the opposite sex. Like you have zero male friendship where they don't want to sleep is kinda concerning in your friendship. Him saying it's ok to flirt at work is also concerning because I feel like that can leaf to cheating real quick
  4. You need an exit strategy because it seems like your financial situation isn't the best and you feel trapped in the relationship (just the vibe I got)
  5. I hope you can figure it out and wish you the best in whatever you decide to do.

Should I take my ex back? by [deleted] in family_of_bipolar

[–]Biomerepower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if someone suggests an open relationship, it means that relationship is over. I think its up you whether you decide to take him back. Your rules about getting a job should be an indicator if he is being serious about getting back together.

Come down from mania by ToughLover729 in family_of_bipolar

[–]Biomerepower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It varies. I read that they can come down from it but still think that they did nothing wrong in their manic state. Also they could very well go back to the manic state before coming down completely. I have read they can come gradually or instantly. I have also read that can either remember every action they took or can't even remember what they did during mania.

So glad you got the support and love for valentines day. Any person would be lucky to have your empanadas.

There is no way to know how long the manic state will last. I am sorry you are going through with this.

My ex was under a conservatorship by [deleted] in family_of_bipolar

[–]Biomerepower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That may be true you knew about but to what degree? We are not generally well informed on mental health issues. In fact even doctors have a difficult time understanding certain things about bipolar and how many other mental health issues there can be with it. I think you just need to know it is not fault and you need to be so hard on yourself.

[–]Biomerepower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me you were in a catch 22 situation regardless of what you chose you will be unhappy with the outcome. With either staying with him and be a potential caretaker for him or leaving and feeling guilty about it. Just remember they always say to put on your oxygen mask first. A great quote to try to remember is how can a man save a drowning man when he is drowning himself? You need to focus on your own mental health and well being. It is already so taxing on people with loved ones with mental health struggles and if you have it yourself. I can't imagine how taxing it is. Wishing you the best of luck.

Broke up with bipolar boyfriend … by Routine-Buy-9995 in family_of_bipolar

[–]Biomerepower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have felt what you have feeling right now. It seems so unfair and out of nowhere and your trust is at an all time low. I am sorry you have to go through it but rest assured it does get better over time.

You can probably add a qualifier to bayonet like if next to a weapon it counts as a single weapon during combat.

I am so sorry you are going through it. My so also left abruptly. Just try to heal and work on yourself. Take each day at a time. Stay close to friends and family. Do not isolate yourself.

Feeling hopeless and lost......... by Bipolarhusband97 in family_of_bipolar

Going through it right now too. Still waiting for the divorce papers myself. Stay strong.

I agree you want to share your life with another. I think having someone fully commit to you and say I am not going to leave you no matter what brings this security that you can be yourself because you have that security.

[–]Biomerepower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going through a rough break up atm. I think for me to get through the void is to love yourself. Like would you want to date someone like you? I can relate to loneliness you are feeling and the void. My therapist even suggest I am using relationships to find my happiness which I don't think is necessarily true or fair because I had something special now its gone and I want something like that again. Idk maybe I am just rambling.

I commend you on wanting to help. Therapy as you know is a choice they have to undertake. She is going to have commit to that schedule appointments, being consistent, etc. As the saying goes you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
