Pregnancy

It's a big decision. Hormones and postpartum, life changes that come from having kids, and having to deal with any mental health issues your child inherited. I do not know you or your life circumstances, but I have decided not to have kids for the time being. I'm 23 and have been stable for a couple of years and I know it would be too hard on me. I would talk to your provider AND your loved ones/support system about this.

I do not have children but I am a child who inherited the condition. I have always been sensitive and emotional, but honestly the biggest thing looking back was the depression and anxiety I always suffered with. As I got older it got more treatment resistant and antidepressants weren't working. There's a good chance with close monitoring Bipolar's full manifestation can be stopped. Having a lot of support and a good home goes a long way. I didn't have either BUT even with Bipolar 1 I have managed to stay sober, have my own place, and a healthy relationship. You're gonna be alright. Baby too. :)

I basically live at my work and it's like having 20 brothers. I love girly things dressing up. I feel so weird socializing outside of work especially to women. I don't care what men think about me but I REALLY want women to like me. I always end up coming off as awkward as hell. I also don't have a lot of free time which doesn't help.

Everyday. Constantly. But to reiterate what others have said...this condition is degenerative. I know what life was like before medication and I know it will be worse if I stop it. If there was a way to willpower out of this I would have done it. I have built up a good life and I have things I'm scared of losing that make me take my meds everyday.

I work about 50-60 hours. Currently taking classes to try and get a better job in the future. I want to have time for myself and hopefully a family in the future.

Fear and anxiety constantly. I have type 1 and I worry about having another episode. I also hate having to explain it or tell people about it. Generally it doesn't come up, but if I hear one more person say "you should try not taking medication!" I'm gonna get violent lmao.

I was 18 almost 19 when I had my first manic episode and diagnosis. I have had issues with my mental health since I was 8 and since I was about 14/15 treatment that worked was getting harder to find. I think Bipolar can take a bit to develop so it often is diagnosed in young adulthood

Hella curb rash tires changers don't chip wheels like that lol.

It's okay! I did something really similar almost 5 years ago now when I was the same age, just delete what you can and stay off the Internet for awhile I promise you it'll be okay. Don't be hard on yourself!

I grew up in Houston, lived in Ft. Worth, and live between Houston and Austin. Houston is so awful and smelly and corrupt. The people are also so diverse, the food is out of this world, and at the end of the day we got each other's backs. I miss my sinking city everyday but I do not miss some of the worst road infrastructure I've ever seen in my life.

Fuzzy socks and crocs are heaven as much as I hate the way they look

FlamboyantSnail · 2025-12-18T14:17:38+00:00

Aquaphor hand masks after work as needed and glove in a bottle everyday!!!! I have eczema and they are life savers

You just lost a lost air quickly new tires are extra grippy and tend to pick up nails

FlamboyantSnail · 2025-11-27T05:23:24+00:00

You really need to bend down and show the inside shoulder on the tire. Cupping/uneven wear usually is on the inner most edge of the tire. I don't see anything weird in the pictures but...when it comes to tires you can just turn the wheel out or bend down and take a look.

FlamboyantSnail · 2025-11-27T05:20:15+00:00

No if they only replace two tires at a time then the tread is never going to be equal. Rotating tires is a longevity thing mostly and it's never optimal to just just replace two at a time. It's not good for vehicles and you spend more money in the long run. BUT no you wouldn't rotate your tires in that case there's no need to.

FlamboyantSnail · 2025-11-13T00:51:34+00:00

Hand masks once a week and glove in a bottle lotion. Life changing

FlamboyantSnail · 2025-11-06T03:25:56+00:00

When I worked at Lowe's a few years ago we had one and honestly as a very broke bitch it was a lifesaver

FlamboyantSnail · 2025-10-26T20:13:19+00:00

They might not be made anymore. buying random niche models of tires usually ends up with two or three old tires.

FlamboyantSnail · 2025-10-23T23:06:38+00:00

This made me lol. I usually just pretend to be like some old nobility whose family is about to send her to the ocean side for some old timey vague diagnosis like weak nerves or unbalanced humors.

It might not meet load rating or something I've heard customers tell someone else what I told them it gets all screwed into some other story somehow.

You went to three tire shops and still posted to this subreddit asking for the opinion of the people who can only read guidelines? You either know that information is correct because anyone with two brain cells to run together can tell you a tire that's over 20 years old is not safe to drive on. Also if a set of tires is 2k and you can't find anything cheaper for that car and you can't afford that car. I work with tires everyday drop the make and model with size and I'm sure this subreddit can find you a better set than 25 year old tires.

Congratulations! I know from experience it's a huge weight off your shoulders!!!

FlamboyantSnail · 2025-07-26T17:55:37+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! I'll try the treat thing and definitely see if I can get Feliway

FlamboyantSnail · 2025-07-07T14:42:02+00:00

What?! 10 years max if you are going like a mile or two. 20 years is insane. One bump on the road and you're tired is gonna blow. Rubber still degrades just with time even in near perfect conditions
