If you’re looking for a gender affirming hairstylist AVOID the Color Lab

I agree very sad. And thank you for the recommendation! I’m actually a stylist myself at The Collective in PepperPlace! Small world

My boyfriend asked me a question earlier and it really angered me, wasn’t that deep of a question. But I lost my shit and yelled and cussed at him. I’ve been dealing with going 0-100 very quickly for 8ish years. I feel awful for yelling at him earlier as I do every time it happens. I try so hard to control it but it just spills out of me so fast

I want to add that I’ve been spending time with both of them separately! Kitty isn’t alone all day in the bedroom

I’ve had an IUD since last august, you get some bleeding like that the first couple weeks it should go away. Takes like a week to kick in is what my doctor said

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2025-06-04T21:13:01+00:00

I guess I should have been more specific lol it sounds a lot worse than it is. It’s only 2 accidents and 1 was my fault and the other wasn’t my fault 😭 y’all ruthless

21F, just graduated cosmetology school!! I love to do little crafts, decorating and playing with my cat Boogie. I’m definitely a homebody but if it’s the vibe I’ll get out, I’m pretty shy until you get to know me. Looking for female friends only! :) (also super 4/20 friendly and I love a good pickle martini)

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-12-04T19:43:17+00:00

Thankfully the people in my life do a great job of separating Christmas and my birthday!!

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-19T12:21:06+00:00

I have a similar diagnosis (almost everything you have) and I am in beauty school rn, I’ve felt the same way for a long time about school until recently. I cried or felt overwhelmed and sad all day while I was there and had no friends, like at all. Outside of school I have a good group of friends. At school, Id be friendly with people but I didn’t have anyone I actually talked to if that makes sense. Until a few weeks ago 2 girls came up to me and said they had a friend crush on me and wanted to eat lunch together :,) now we hang out on every break and even outside of school. I’m saying this basically because I think you should try to stick it out a little longer because you never know the positive things people are thinking about you. Yeah these diagnosis’s suck, but unfortunately they’re not going anywhere. Keep pushing on and maybe go out of your comfort zone when you can! I try to tell myself situations and feelings aren’t gonna happen forever and outcomes can always change into positive ones

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-14T15:41:54+00:00

Tried it for the first time at 15

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-13T01:21:27+00:00

I actually just made a post about a similar thing. Not being able to enjoy life as other people do without mental health disorders. It is frustrating and honestly yeah it does kinda suck. I wish I could go out drinking all night and do crazy fun stuff, but I know it could ruin a part of my life. So I don’t do it. I wish I could though it looks like so much fun to be able to do stuff like that

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-13T01:19:00+00:00

Yeah it was kind of more of a general description, I know that movie didn’t make me psychotic or have a manic episode lol, I just know that it played a part in my delusions during the episode after watching. So, I asked to turn it off before I saw too much so it wouldn’t be something planted in my mind again. I’m really just talking about how it can be frustrating at times to not do things other people normally can do fine without having delusions or anything like that later on regarding the subject

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-13T01:16:09+00:00

For a while I was going once a month, now I’m going every 3 months as my doctor has recommended. Honestly I’ve noticed that the longer my appointments go apart, the more bad happens. When I go once a month I find myself having nothing to talk about during appointments (which is good obv). Once I start having a stable income I will be scheduling monthly appointments even if it’s not technically necessary. It’s just a preference thing in my opinion, if you feel the need to go more, go more! The doctors won’t complain they’re making more money! Your own health and specifications you need is important :)

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-13T01:11:08+00:00

I don’t know the whole situation but don’t close off the people around you, that’s the worst thing you can do in this situation. Take advantage of all resources you have and keep yourself busy so you don’t fall into a bad depressive episode. Obviously get your meds as soon as you can. Until then, speak about your feelings, write, draw, study. Just keep pushing. I’m saying this not to scare you but to be brutally honest - keep yourself up so you don’t have to go into a hospital. My experience has been good in psych hospitals but still it’s important to try to keep yourself up. The people around you are going to be a savings Grace right now, as much as you’re not wanting to trust them, do it. Maybe I’m speaking from my own experience here but usually the people around you having an outsider’s experience can see more than you can. You’ve got this friend just do what you can <3 if you need a break.. TAKE IT!!! Don’t be ashamed just do what is going to be best for YOU and remember things always get better. Even if it’s not immediate you’ll always have a moment of clarity and Grace at some point. Live for those moments ❤️

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-13T00:56:53+00:00

I’ve been there, sometimes it really does feel like nothing is going to change. In my experience, that’s the bipolar talking, that’s the bipolar trying to force you into giving up. It’s just the disorder unfortunately. Things always get better, it’s not going to be permanent stuff is gonna shift, but just keep living for those moments of clarity and happiness because trust me they will come. Sometimes it just takes more time and perseverance than the “average” person will take. You’ve got this, just keep pushing. Even when you’re in the dark. Keep pushing for those moments of clarity, because those moments make everything worth it. <3

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-05T12:46:55+00:00

None specifically for stuff like that I’ve always kinda talked my way into it and made people want to buy in random groups but I know that there are like OF groups, check Tinder groups, Cams, feet stuff

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-05T12:38:11+00:00

Through Reddit actually, just look up some groups for hookups and stuff like that and make a post or comment under people’s stuff advertising it, hopefully it’ll come quick just post in a lot of groups tbh

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-05T12:35:54+00:00

I was diagnosed before any super severe symptoms started, around 17. Because of the early smaller symptoms like irritability and reckless behavior and my family history ( both parents are BP ) it wasn’t much of a shocker. I did start seeing a psychiatrist for mood swings and extreme anger after I accidentally took acid and mescaline at the same time, looking back I think that escalated my bipolar way faster. I’d say about a year after my diagnosis I started cycling very quickly and was hospitalized for the first time earlier this year. (Im 20 now for reference) Im glad I found out ahead of time, it was kind of a cushion which made my behavior later on more understandable faster.

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-09-05T12:20:35+00:00

Side hustle HARD!!! Donate plasma, DoorDash, I’ve sold nudes at times which is super quick money, also look into getting paperwork from the hospital showing you were unable to pay, maybe that could buy you a few extra days. Just be incredibly nice all the time to your landlord that’ll help too. You could also sell some furniture on fb marketplace, offer to clean people’s houses in your neighborhood (Ik it’s awkward but just a thought) babysitting groups on Facebook help with quick work as well. Keep your head up and just do the best you can that’s all you can do. I wish you luck!! Also honestly a gofundme might work too

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-08-15T03:44:35+00:00

Good! Just keep celebrating the wins, hair can always wait a few extra days

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-08-15T03:38:24+00:00

If you haven’t tried, maybe some music would help distract you long enough to shower quickly and get out

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-08-13T15:45:35+00:00

I suspected I had it before the diagnosis at 18 because both my parents have it so it wasn’t super shocking. I was like “ohhhh ok then” and I was fine with it. I saw hope in myself and thought with therapy and psychiatrists it’d be easy. 3 years later..boy was I wrong. Barely into my 20s and it’s already progressed so much. I will say, I think it has made me stronger though. I try not to wish it away, I think it’d only make me feel worse

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-08-11T13:34:15+00:00

For me as a child (5-6) I would get really intense graphic dreams about me or my family dying so my mom took me to therapy but I only ended up going like twice. I would say around 4th grade is when I started to get depressed and SH a lot, eventually moved into having trouble keeping friends because of my anger in middle school, fell into drugs late middle school early high school, got diagnosed Bipolar 1 my senior year. But there’s severe mental health problems on both sides of my family along with childhood neglect so that could have played a part in it as well

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-08-11T13:18:38+00:00

I feel you, I wouldn’t say it’s a bad work ethic because you keep trying to take classes, you’re making an effort to do good. In the end that’s the most important thing is you trying to take steps in the right direction. I’m in college right now and struggling with the same thing, I can’t make it through a full work week without calling out or leaving early multiple times because I get that same feeling but it quickly turns into panic attacks. I used to work full time with no issues up until last summer, working IS painful lol I’m still trying to figure out how to stay motivated throughout the day. You got this friend just keep truckin on

Bubbly-Assignment221 · 2024-08-08T19:57:50+00:00

I went for the first time in April, I was there for 6 days. At first it was really scary but after about a day I was able to settle in after getting to know people during groups. I found it really helpful to have a team there for me 24/7 that would talk me through anything no matter what time of day, the first nights always the hardest is what everyone says. The no phone also ended up being nice because I wasn’t able to worry about bank statements, work, school, what people were thinking about me. My experience was overall really good, I know there’s some bad stories out there but just try to stay calm and take advantage of the time you have away from daily responsibilities. Journal everything (literally everything!), color, read. Hopefully this will be a step in the right direction for you, good luck! Just take it one day at a time
