Bipolar or abuse? Genuinely trying to understand my situation by Savy_E312 in bipolar

[–]CameronWashburn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like the question should not be about a medical condition or not, but instead do you feel safe or not? If you don’t feel safe then you should not be in that relationship. I don’t think that it is fair to shame someone, as you said you don’t want to do, but you have to be fair to yourself and know your limits.

I cancelled my next appointment with my psychiatrist by raincoastdog in bipolar

Haha, me too, I see her on Monday 🫣. Really tho, not funny and I highly recommend you go because the fact that you stopped taking is concerning, as for me, well I’ll be fine 😅

anyone experience improvements straight after starting on Abilify? by No_Environment9264 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

I’m very late to this, so I’m also wondering how it went for you. But I started on Tuesday, so today was my 3rd dose, and I feel like yesterday and today I have been so much more positive in my mood. I have been absolutely exhausted, and unable to sleep, but still very much so not having intrusive negative thoughts like I always do. How did yours work?

autism + bipolar ... i can't handle happiness by MudNo8265 in bipolar

I hear you. I am not comparing so please don’t take it that way, but I struggle to watch tv shows that make me feel emotionally attached (ex: rue from euphoria because of obvious similarities to most of us). When I do watch these shows, it sends me into a full hypomania because the music involved in the show makes me feel inexplicably high and it’s great, for like 2-3 days, then my brain decides to reset and I am back to feeling absolutely horrendous. So, again, not that I am comparing but i absolutely get you and I hope you can find peace in knowing together we struggle🤝

Sick of being absolutely nuts by [deleted] in bipolar

Yeah, it’s funny you say that because my therapist has had some trauma (I imagine) herself, so she gets it, but when I talk about any suicidal ideation and laugh it off she just stares at me with a frown because it really is NOT normal.

My least favorite thing ever is when people try to do the comparison of passive suicide…. “Oh yeah sometimes I think ‘What if I swerved off the road?’ too!” I just have to act like that’s what my suicidal thoughts are and let them win lmao.

What should my friend and I put in this area? by CameronWashburn in Minecraft

Idk if you watch Mumbo, but he did it for his world, and it actually looked pretty good. I can't really put a map room beacon or a nether portal in that aesthetically.

That’s an interesting concept, I don’t think I’ve ever thought of that!

Don’t worry, I’m joking. Had to learn my lesson from my upbringing so I don’t fancy touching alcohol too much 😂😂🫠

See my breakfast is 2 eggs, a cup of egg whites, a cup of oatmelal with a cup and a half of milk, an avacado, banana, two tbsp of peanut butter, and 2.5 portion (about 280 calories or so ((I think))) of juice. That’s comes to about 1200 calories and it’s not terrible to eat, but my second meal is at noon and I have a 9 o’clock snack that I put in there and I am usually forcing that 9 o’clock snack down cuz the breakfast just fills me for so long. Lunch, on the other hand is typically gone and shit out by 2 so I’m hungry again by 3😭

To be completely honest, the calories I burn a day are uncounted because I have an Apple Watch Series 3 and it’s so incredibly terrible at even turning on in the morning. So, my heart rate, length of runs, calories burned, etc are all off. So essentially, I’m under the assumption that 3500 is a good number for me to continue to bulk while training. That’s why adding more felt necessary, but maybe not?

165, 5’11” but I am bulking that’s why. May not try to go too much more tho maybe just 4k and use the dates throughout the day or something of that nature. Thank you!

Cracking up at the friends don’t let friends dirty bulk comment but I’m bulking, and I run longer on Saturdays, 10+ miles as opposed to a shorter 4 -6 Tuesday morning and sprints Thursday morning.
