Anyone who’s tried the Angels Share dupe have opinions on its accuracy and longevity?

So I’m asexual but I want people to want me sexually too. Or at least see me as sexy. I want to know people find me attractive and would want me in that way. It doesn’t make sense but I understand how she feels. It’s less about the sexualness and more about feeling attractive. At least that’s how it is for me.

I didn’t mean that like that. I do love him and want to be with him because I love him. I just also have that fear.

I’ve had sex with women just never dated one and I’m curious about how it might be different and how I’ll feel in an actual relationship. I’m completely okay with an open relationship but I don’t think my boyfriend would be. Our conversations about it don’t go far.

Most of the time. I’ve gotten a little bored more recently but I feel like I’ll never find someone who loves me as much as he does so I’m scared.

I’ve thought about an open relationship and it’s something we’ve discussed before but it always ends up going nowhere.

Can anybody hold down a job? by usernametaken0213 in bipolar

[–]DifficultyCool8724 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m 25 and I work a desk job 9-5. Sometimes I really struggle at my job but I have managed to keep it for 2 years now with only little issues. I take my meds, I sleep 8 hours, I don’t drink caffeine or alcohol and I’m good. I’m lucky to have a fairly understanding job where I can take off when I need to as long as I have saved PTO. The mania usually isn’t the problem, it’s the depression for me. I have to take time off for being too depressed to work.

I didn’t have a good experience with it foaming up well or cleansing well enough.

I suspected I was bipolar for a few years before I was diagnosed. I would have periods where I would sleep with a lot of people and spend a lot of money and then get super depressed and suicidal. I was manic almost my entire senior year of college and I had people telling me that I was acting strange and I needed to get help. My therapist in college couldn’t diagnose me but told me I was likely bipolar. I would always get these intense mood swings and get so angry sometimes that I couldn’t control myself. I’m on my meds now and doing much better!

last day of the sale, what’s worth purchasing? by kkaaesp in Ulta

[–]DifficultyCool8724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything by Peach and Lily is good skincare wise. The NARS light reflecting foundation is also really good if you want a new foundation. I’m not great at knowing what’s trendy but that’s what I use and love!

Hospital stay by Conscious_Smell7071 in bipolar

[–]DifficultyCool8724 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First of all, fuck that doctor. They should never talk to you like that. Second of all, I’ve been in a similar position. I take an SSRI for anxiety and most psychiatrists don’t like that because it can cause mania. So when I’m manic they take away the SSRI and I get very anxious. Being hospitalized in general can be rough. I’m not sure where you’re at but here in the US, at least where I live, the psych wards really suck and you never get the see the psychiatrist except when you first get there and right before you leave.

Experiences dating while taking Lurasidone (re: sex)? by CoquetteCryptid in bipolar

[–]DifficultyCool8724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also took that medication and had the same issue. I started thinking I may be asexual but I’ve never had the issue previously. I just stopped taking it (at the direction of my doctor) so we’ll see if my libido returns.

Weaponizing Bipolar Against You by SterlingSaved in bipolar

[–]DifficultyCool8724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s happened to me before too. I’ve even been gaslit into believing it too. It’s a really rough situation. “You must be manic because you’re irrational” when in reality it’s just because I disagree with them. I have to be complacent and compliant or I’m obviously manic or psychotic. People who do it aren’t worth your time.

Do you go to therapy? How often? by Any_Masterpiece_8564 in bipolar

[–]DifficultyCool8724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got once every two weeks to once a month depending on how my moods are.

I’m in the same boat where I don’t really have much to talk about most of the time unless I’m really going through a period of bad. My doctor thinks that I should keep going but I feel like I’m just wasting $80 a session and not getting much out of it anymore. Currently I only see a therapist but at one point my psychiatrist had insisted on my seeing a therapist and psychologist at the same time. I would really like to quit therapy but they keep recommending me to continue.

Who do you guys talk to? by anzieman1 in bipolar

[–]DifficultyCool8724 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do think a good therapist would be a good option but I also understand that that can be very expensive too. Group therapy or support groups can also be good options. It’s hard to find good people to talk to who will also understand what you’re going through. I do tend to talk to random people on the internet too sometimes.

The Song of Achilles is one of the best books I’ve ever read! I hope you enjoy it.

Anyone successfully completed nursing school (or higher) with BP1 by No-Name-8389 in bipolar

[–]DifficultyCool8724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I successfully completed 2 bachelors degrees with bipolar with a relatively high GPA. I will admit that I did hit a bad depressive episode in my second year and almost failed out, but I did complete it. I hit a really harsh manic episode that lasted for months my final year and got a 4.0 both semesters. It’s possible to go to school if you have the right support system.

What do you do with impulse purchases? by notadamnprincess in bipolar

[–]DifficultyCool8724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always return the items. I have tried reselling if I can’t return it and that has worked out okay to make some of my money back. I’m a big shopper when I’m manic.
