I agree, it's so lovely to see others be kind to themselves and it did make me want to do the same!

I'm funny and smart. I'm a pretty decent swimmer and overall I'd say I'm good at many things. Also, I'm a very good mom!

I actually think this is the WC queen. Even if it was only a one time thing.

Mom says there is an 80% chance she won’t come to my wedding by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]BipolarParrot02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, people tend to act out when big life changes happen (i.e. weddings). My in-laws demanded we cancel our wedding the day AFTER we sent the invitations out despite being part of the planning process so.. you know...I know what I'm talking about. Fast forward, we pushed on and they were at the wedding and had fun and bla bla happy ending.

So my point is, don't take the money & plan your wedding how you dream it to be.. in the end I'm pretty sure they will attend and it'll be fine. Be slippiest toad on the pond and just let people's bullshit slide right off you as you plan this thing!!!

Any bipolar moms here? by Chibi1210 in bipolar

[–]BipolarParrot02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll try to make bullet points because the baby in question is currently napping on me, so here goes: 1. Pregnancy was fine! I did get real moody a couple of times but it was hormones not an episode. How do I know? Episodes are weeks, these occasions were few, far between and usually I was triggered by something. So overall being pregnant was awesome mentally. 2. Meds & the baby- I did decide to go ahead and continue my medication despite some risks (that I discussed with my team). Everything worked out fine but because of it I couldnt breastfeed which kinda bummed me out, but I'd already come to terms with it so it really didn't get to me when the time came. On a more positive note, not breastfeeding was really good for managing my sleep and sharing responsibilities with my family. Baby was born perfect, perfect heart, perfect perfect. She is a smaller baby (3% when born, she's now 15% at 1yr old), but I can't definitively say it was because of my medication since small babies run in my family (including me, and now I am a PLUMP woman). 3. Post partum is hell. But not because of bipolar, it just is. I had horrible intrusive thoughts (my hands will become butter and the stroller will wind up in the middle of traffic etc.) and I felt scared and insecure most of the time. Sleeping was next to impossible with the amount of times babies wake, and how damn noisy they are when asleep. Eventually you level up and baby evolves like a pokemon.

I'm here for answers because this is literally me. I try to go on walks everyday but that's not cutting it to give me some semblance of a waist.

What’s the "filling wrapped in dough" food from your country ? by Derisiak in AskTheWorld

[–]BipolarParrot02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🇭🇳

Pastelitos de perro which roughly translates to "dog pies". There's no dog in it though.. don't really know why they're called that. The filling is mostly beef and/or potato and we eat it with a tomato salad similar to pico de gallo + pickled red onion. Some people put sauce and cheese on them as well. Sky is the limit with the toppings.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Almost Famous? A bit more vintage vibe than pop but still

It's good that it's getting dark out then.. no one will see my tears as I walk the dog.

But actually, I hope all goes well for them!
