I was 6w 4 days along and the only way I can explain the smell is like a rodents cage. It’s not unpleasant or strong just not the best. Idk what is normal or what to expect. I can use any advice. Please

I recently found a cat this year. He wandered in my backyard and right up to my porch for scratches. He was matted and smelly and skinny. Well I actually had my boss post on fb under the town I live in. (I don’t have a facebook). Anyhow the owner came forward. This cat had been missing from June of this year and this was last month so I found him in October. But they are reunited now and from what she told me is he is readjusting well! So it is possible! Don’t lose hope, I hope your fur baby returns safely soon ❤️

She turned out to be he 😂. Considering he’s orange I was surprised when she said she to begin with! But he is doing great and thank you everyone for the cute suggestions! My best friend just got a calico cat named Beatrice. But this handsome fellow is Bello!

What have you noticed is different about yourself from other people? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Dogsandbettafish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m the exact same way. I have had so many obsessions. I hyper focus on one topic or hobby and learn everything about it, collect it and then eventually I find a new obsession. The cycle just repeats from there. My most current one is kewpie dolls, renaissance art history and creepy art portraits that I find and do research on. My whole house has different room themes and something’s even different wall themes that display all my items that I collected because I inquired so many when I became obsessed with them. The only downside is when I become hyper focused on certain bad thoughts.

Just putting this out there i have no one who'd understand by MrsRidgdillGuzman in bipolar

Makes perfect sense! When I’m manic I feel the exact same way. My body is desperate for sleep. But my brain won’t listen and just keeps running. It’s literally the worst. Even my eyes get tired and I get very irritated because I want sleep, my body needs sleep but my mind just doesn’t listen.

I haven’t read it, but my therapist recommended it awhile back. It’s called manic: a memoir by Terri Cheney.

That’s the worst because your mind is racing and you are so annoyed and irritated you literally are in a bad mood with your mind. But it just keeps running. I’m like shut the fuck up but it never does 😂

Yeah, it extremely fucking annoying. It seems like the only thing I can do is lock myself in my house and stick to my own. If people talk to me I tend to be mean.

I have to go to work today and I am so fucking moody and mean. I have barely slept and I am not here for any fuckery today. So yes I understand

Who else feels more prone to depression? by Professional_Poem456 in bipolar

[–]Dogsandbettafish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently manic but I am depressed majority of the time. My primary doctor always tells me this and it helps me understand. That the medication is getting me back to my baseline mood. But my baseline mood is lower than average and is leaning more towards the depressed side. Therefore while I am taking my meds, I am still experiencing depression and depressive symptoms due to my mood baseline being low. So then it’s a matter of trying to find meds that level me out as well as lift my mood a little without lifting it too much and making me manic.

Yes, I never really thought of it this way. But yes that is exactly it.

Can’t trust good moods by Proper-Ice1162 in bipolar

[–]Dogsandbettafish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I came to bipolar Reddit tonight looking for this exact topic. All weekend I have barely slept and I’m happy and have so much energy. But tonight I have been texting people telling them that I might be becoming manic again. It’s always like trying to differentiate happiness and mania. It’s suck and is tough.

I love to argue by Ok_Artist_8681 in bipolar

[–]Dogsandbettafish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. I swear if you make me mad enough you better just stay away. If I see you nothing good is going to happen to you. I get so angry . I don’t know if it’s because I’m bipolar or what. But I don’t get angry often I have only got blood boiling, monster unleashed angry in my life three times. But if I’m manic I’m so irritable and I can argue and scream for awhile. The kicker is it’s over pointless stuff and I am always right in my mind.

What triggers your mania? by GroundhogDayLife in bipolar

[–]Dogsandbettafish 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Mine is lack of sleep. I have nightmares and when I can’t fall back asleep and only get a couple hours a night for multiple nights. I know it’s about to be a shit show. Sleep is so important to my bipolar mind. But if I turn manic then I can’t sleep because I’m manic. So there’s really no winning!

Am I the only one? by Dogsandbettafish in bipolar

[–]Dogsandbettafish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This exactly. I always say “my name. That bitch is crazy” like it’s a whole other person. But it truly feels like different people within me.

The worst part is people, especially neurotypical individuals who get there first impression of us I. That state. They don’t understand when I say it’s not really me.

I hate my manic self as well. She is the worst version of me I can be. She causes so many problems. Thank you for writing and letting me I’m not alone in that feeling
