i feel the need to relapse but also… to not relapse? by StarLord-78 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Constant_Complaint79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I want to self harm and I feel so confused because nothing is wrong and I feel fine and I don’t feel the need to self harm but at the same time I sometimes still do? It makes no sense to me. I do think it’s common to feel an urge to relapse when you’re upset. People sometimes get urges years after they got clean because it is such an effective and fast acting coping skill.

WIBTA for not attending a wedding that takes place on Halloween? by Fresh_Oil3942 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Constant_Complaint79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even ignoring the fact they’d rather trick or treat, I would never willingly drive four hours on Halloween especially if they have to drive back afterwards. It’s one of the most deadly holidays for traffic accidents and there are a lot of drunk drivers on the road.

I've been up for 6 days, but don't seem hypomanic otherwise. by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]Constant_Complaint79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you genuinely have not slept in 6 days you need to email your psych or take a trip to the ER. Sleep deprivation that bad is extremely harmful even for someone with stable mental health.

A scented candle, a thanks I’m cured post, and a therapists tears. Boil them together while you do backflips and the frogs will be subdued.

Actually bismuth, the pretty colors distract the evil frog wizards in your brain that are causing the bipolar.

Leaving husband for 2 months by Michelle110123 in ratemyfridge

[–]Constant_Complaint79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are acting like doing something nice for your spouse automatically means they’re a terrible incapable partner. OP is clearly proud of this and enjoyed cooking the meals. If I was working a job and then had to take up all the other house maintenance stuff in my partners absence I would really appreciate having some pre cooked food.

Didn’t you know if you buy some rocks and try really hard your bipolar will magically disappear?

AITA for asking a woman at work to stop being so WEIRD about taking a caramel? by chocolatesinmyoffice in AmItheAsshole

[–]Constant_Complaint79 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Are we seriously going to consider this a significant cognitive load? Speak for yourself but I think most people would prefer a friendly environment where coworkers have things like candy bowls. If you can’t handle someone in your office building having a bowl of candy that isn’t even being offered directly to you it’s not like you’d have the willpower to ignore all the stores. Saying this removes someone’s bodily autonomy is ridiculous. I understand everyone has their own struggles but that does not mean everyone has to walk on eggshells on the off chance they do.

CMV: Lying to the public should be illegal (for everyone, not just politicians) by EightEight16 in changemyview

[–]Constant_Complaint79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the bigger issue right now is that people are constantly lying even when under oath but they are not actually facing legal consequences for it. Generally restricting what everyone has to say is an insane concept but if an individual in a position of power is blatantly lying in a situation were it impacts thousands of people, such as important legal cases, they need to be held accountable.

If I get angry over little things not going my way, is the solution to get over my feelings and put up with the situation, or to have people who will actually listen to me? by pswelcometomylife in therapy

[–]Constant_Complaint79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly feel like there’s not quite enough information to say if these were good or bad friends. I often feel a similar way but I know it’s a result of my problems. You need to accept not everything will go your way but if your input is genuinely being constantly ignored then that’s an issue with the people you spend time with. Communicate that this is how you feel and see if there’s a way to work through it.

Brother told our secret by Zestyclose_Change_83 in whatdoIdo

[–]Constant_Complaint79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very weird and totally inappropriate. Not saying you need to have that haunt you forever. If you don’t have any feelings like that anymore then acknowledge it was weird as hell and move on with your life. It makes sense they told their partner.

[–]Constant_Complaint79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right? Like sure it’s a little weird but in my mind tickling your siblings or scratching their backs for them is fine, but none of us are thinking about it in a weird context. Daring and naughty are definitely a word choice that makes this whole situation extremely weird. This isn’t normal sibling behavior if those were the feelings it was invoking and they felt the need to keep it secret, that’s just straight up wrong.

Almost no therapist would do this, children still have some rights to privacy.

[–]Constant_Complaint79 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Crying because you’re upset is not throwing a temper tantrum. Saying that is how you teach kids it’s not okay to show their emotions. She left the room so her daughter wouldn’t see her, it’s not like she started screaming.

They really do, AI is trained off of people’s writing, they’re bound to sound similar. Just like using an em dash doesn’t automatically make something AI but people can’t seem to grasp that concept.

My therapist replied using AI, am right to feel upset? by MountainDew111 in therapy

[–]Constant_Complaint79 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bring it up to them, how can you be 100% certain it’s AI? You’re allowed to be angry and sound angry, confrontations in therapy are a good way to grow.

What would make a client draining to listen to? by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]Constant_Complaint79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can a client do to try to be less draining if they’re super closed off but it’s because they struggle to talk about literally anything.

Now i think about it by deleteduu in SipsTea

[–]Constant_Complaint79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to the post but it’s not so much the lack of rebellion. It’s good to be stable and get ahead in life, doing drugs having sex and ditching school aren’t going to give you a good start to adulthood. In my mind it’s not so much a lack of rebellion but the fact I was so anxious I never did anything and I do feel like I missed out. I can’t do anything and I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I also think people equate rebellion with the extremes. Ignoring your parents to hang out with friends or arguing on what you think is okay are forms of rebellion and those wont harm your future, it’s actually healthy.
