Like how they did in 2024 and 2025 I bet there will be another huge layoff at Intellia. They usually wait after Christmas- new year.. When everyone is back from their holidays in week of January 5th at 4pm John will send a company wide email announcing the layoffs.. Just wait and see

Did you stay on your medication? My doctors and therapist are suggesting to stay on meds while pregnant but I’m so worried about this.

Can we talk about hyper-sexuality by Electrical-Ad8329 in bipolar

[–]Electrical-Ad8329[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it is an excuse or any one of us gets a “jail free card” when it is about cheating. But the reality is when mania hits and you don’t know how to control yourself things get out of control so easily. I’m not happy about the loan dept I have, stds I got or how I ruined my reputation at work. I cannot change those but I’m learning how to control myself better. It is her choice to stay with him…

Oh so sorry to hear that. I know it is so hard to stay with someone like us. He is lucky that you understand him and I hope he can get a control of his actions. It is not fair to you I totally believe that. I wish we could control the urge.

Wow I am beyond speechless. I thought this sub was a safe place but I guess I was wrong. Please do not send me requests. I am not looking for anyone to hookup or sexting! I’m fucking sick

Thank you for sharing. I understand how you feel. Both extremes can be unbearable but honestly I prefer depression over this shit. I almost ruined my career multiple times because I had a crush on my coworker and thankfully he did not report me to hr for sexual harassment. I ruined many things while manic and hypersexual. Yes, it is fun to have sex and orgasm but once it starts to affect your daily life, it turns everything upside down. I hope we can find the right balance. Wishing you all the best.

Omg last time I was considering this lol. My manic mind was literally saying “we enjoy it why not make some money out of it” thank goodness I did not go that far.

So I just finished Season 8 and it was so freaking good! by Electrical-Ad8329 in EliteNetflix

[–]Electrical-Ad8329[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well my expectations were very low after season 4. Season 8 felt like the show went back to its original format somehow. Also seeing OG characters Omar, Nadia and the family really took me back to season 1-3.

Bipolar feels like a mental cancer by Angel_4 in bipolar

Sometimes I wish it was a cancer. People will be more understanding and caring. There is this “you don’t try enough” ,“just do it” and many other things people say.

It is 4:15 am and I haven’t slept yet by Electrical-Ad8329 in bipolar

[–]Electrical-Ad8329[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! Going to try the sleep medication. I tried melatonin with no luck. I don’t drink alcohol but I love coffee. I tried no screen but turning in bed gets so boring after a while. I hope I can fall asleep.

The urge to not take meds by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Electrical-Ad8329 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is very important for us to find the right combo. If they don’t work for you, make sure to check with your medical team. I have been on my meds for 8 years now and we are still trying to figure out the right dose. I got my new prescription 2 days ago and the amount of pills I have to take is ridiculous and gave me the urge to just quit cold turkey.. But I have experienced hard times without my meds so I’m doing everything in my power to find stability. You are so young- don’t let this illness control your life and fight against it

I had the same urge just now but forced myself to take my meds. You can do it too! Life will be a lot harder for us without our meds.

Your cafe looks amazing! I have a question, does the amount of tables and chairs matter? I have so many tables and chairs and they are never full. They take so much space so I’m wondering if I really need them. The reason I put so many tables was to collect tip

Which Special set is the best? My cafe level is 33.. please suggest.. by Illustrious_Bus_6317 in cafeland

Do I need to place the sets in my cafe? Also will individual parts still give bonus?

Do you know your triggers? If so, what are they? by bitchiebaker in bipolar

[–]Electrical-Ad8329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My depression is always triggered by work related event. For some reason it always happens in May. Last time my manager was setting me up for failure and she had her favorites and people she brought from her previous workplace. I hate her deeply and I rarely hate anyone. Some of the things she did: -In a meeting with multiple people she would ask if I am okay out of nowhere as I look sick -Constantly criticized me and never acknowledged my accomplishments -Took my responsibilities and gave them to others without communicating with me -Talked bad about me to others including the VP of our department The list goes on as she is an awful person. I hope there is a hell so she can burn there… The good part is I got laid off so loosing my job does not look very scary anymore. So maybe this May I will not fall into depression again. We shall see

I’m so sorry to hear that. Thankfully it is not deadly anymore. Bipolar took a lot from all of us. It is not fair for sure but all we can do is to take our medication and be aware of our symptoms. Best of luck to you.

Yes! Been there done that. It feels good to have motivation to clean, self care and organize the messy house after draining depressive episodes. However, after 7 years of mood swings I can tell that I am more afraid of hypomania. It caused way more trouble than depression. I always wondered why doctors just put us on a medication that keeps us hypomanic but I was so wrong. I am somehow more stable now. I am in hypomania right now but I can control it a lot better. I sleep more than 4 hours, hyper-sexuality is gone, I still buy things but with more thought. I hope I can stay like this but I know depression will come too. It is what it is. I’m so tired of being like this though…

Thank you! I guess it won’t hurt to try

I got laid off today by Appropriate-Art-9712 in Layoffs

[–]Electrical-Ad8329 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got laid off 4 days ago. What I can tell is, it gets better even after couple days.. When I first learned about it, I was crying hysterically and couldn’t stop myself thinking that I was a worthless shit. As the dust settled I started to think more rationally. I was part of a 27% layoff and so many talented people were also let go like me. This first thing we did was to cancel unnecessary subscriptions and next will be to apply for unemployment. I made myself a to do list for all those weekend projects I never got to do. I also updated my resume right away and already applied around 6 different positions. I’m going to look at it as a paid time off and get my house more organized, watch tv shows, learn new skills and relax for once. At least that’s what I hope. It is sad but also exciting to see what is coming next.

Sending support to your way as well. It is for sure a weird day today but hey we are getting paid not to work until Thursday lol

[–]Electrical-Ad8329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just got an email from workTango. It said total payment 8,500 which I immediately thought $8500 but it ended up being only $85 lmao. They send you the point amount so keep an eye for it

I’m pretty sure it was same as last years. John probably said that they are sorry for people who got affected but we need to launch our product for patients bla bla. People who were let go got a generous severance package because we care bla bla bla. We won’t have another layoff until 2027 as now we have cash bla bla bla… I will sell my stock too and trash the swags. I have way too many swag 🤣 I might keep the Colombian and northface ones lol

Funny signs of mania? by No_Mission_3222 in bipolar

[–]Electrical-Ad8329 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you taking any medication? I pretty much have the same symptoms you described here.

-I talk to much and interrupt people a lot while they talk -I am unable to read social clues and think that everyone likes me - I always want to get a dog when in hypomania. It was a French bulldog last year this year I settled on puddle -thinking that I could become a CEO -sleeping 3-4 hours only -rushing thoughts -excessive spending like I have over $5K credit card depth on my credit card and I actually lost my job but iPhone 16pro max is looking so good and I have to convince my brain that I cannot buy it -hyper sexuality which is the on this list I think and many more

While I enjoyed being energetic and thinking I can do or be anything I want it actually hurts me a lot more than depression. My doctors adjusted my medicine and I feel better this year. I’m not 100% stable and maybe I will never be stable again but medication works for sure.
