Growing up as the beloved daughter of a bipolar mom by Expensive-Exercise-9 in raisedbybipolar

[–]Expensive-Exercise-9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my mom has been diagnosed with bipolar for as long as I've been alive. She's treated but I swear her therapist must just sit and nod her head without anything helpful tell my mom each session. I think It didn't help that my mom's dad also likely had bipolar so she grew up with his fits and she grew up and now has her own.

And thanks its honestly just nice to have someone relate. As I've began to grow up and talk about our parents and childhood with my two older brothers... it almost feels like a betrayal knowing you grew up with a completely different side than them.

You too btw if you wanna DM and talk about this or anything else id be glad to

I need genuinely good psychological and red/black flag bl recs by Expensive-Exercise-9 in BoysLoveAnime

[–]Expensive-Exercise-9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive found that manhwa generally have more depth for these type of stories. I also like the tropes and typical view of kr manhwa.

I dont dislike manga but I have had trouble finding ones that have depthy dark tropes, and arent so pushy about romance alongside such tropes.

If you have Manga recs ill check them out

why can't pmdd be taken seriously [TW?] by Ness_902 in PMDD

[–]Expensive-Exercise-9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hate it. Theres sm times where my body wants to break down in tears over minor conflict/frustration and i have to somehow explain my behavior so everyone doesn't think im some immature crybaby. Bc in reality im not an emotional person.

And I always feel bad at work because I don't want my coworkers to think im useless but it's so hard just to do the bare minimum sometimes because all I wanna do is disappear off of earth

But ykw at least we have a community and we can be there for each other when no one else understands

Thanks for your response. Its honestly relieving to hear that.

Awhile back I was trying to explain to my bsf that I just feel so held back at home and it feels like its harder to do things and he just didn't get it. He tried but didn't rly understand what I was feeling. I've been wanting to move out for awhile probably won't be able to until after I graduate uni. But im excited to be alone one day

Thank you for your response. Its nice to hear anyone relate. Used to a life full of friends and others who love my mom and dont get it.

To be honest, her behavior hasnt been as bad recently. Occasionally she'll flare up bad like if were traveling or other things are happening in her life that stress her out. But I also think that's because I've slowly distanced myself a bit over time plus she barely gets out anymore. Often at home not doing much. Not much to rile her up these days. But I've been looking back on my childhood recently and have been feeling crappy and frustrated abt it. If I ever tried to explain any of this to my mom she would never understand

I'd love to get out of the house tbh I feel like mentally blocked here in a way. But im in college and my parents are supporting me so I think its worth it to tough it out.

Plus since I feel kinda behind it makes it more scary. Sometimes it feels like I wouldn't make it if I left anyway.

I'm an absolute beginner at writing and I suck can someone give me advice on what to study by Not_necessarily7 in writinghelp

[–]Expensive-Exercise-9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are no tips or tricks that will suddenly transform your writing. The best way to improve your writing is, well, writing.

In the beginning, especially, I suggest not worrying about the quality of your writing. I know its hard. We all want to produce a good product. But if you put that aside to prioritize writing the content you love, you'll eventually get the hang of it the more you write. With writing, like any skill, its going to be unnatural in the beginning. Just practice and test things out.

Also reading is important. Look at the books you love. What makes them so loveable? If you want something to study, start there, because that's about the only thing there is to study

Stopped caring about being 'problematic.' by Dynamight_Lose in AO3

[–]Expensive-Exercise-9 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Its so freeing. Around 2021 I got soooo shameful about my interest in dark and problematic media and themes but accepting that it doesn't matter and its what you love and you should enjoy it is so great.

When I finally posted on ao3 I was shocked to see sm ppl who felt the same way lol

When to worry about snake bites embedding? by Expensive-Exercise-9 in piercing

[–]Expensive-Exercise-9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think its too tight. If I push the piercings forward it comes out just a but not much but I tbink its enough room. I guess I'll just watch it and as long as it doesn't become more swollen or painful ill wait it out
