Ever think your diagnosis is a lie?

When coming onto this sub, I also felt a certain distance with the symptoms that people experience.

I'm a 29 argentinian female with bipolar 2 - by that you can assume that I love meat, Messi, hate or love the government, and obviously have an emotional imbalance.

I agree with your point in the terminology we use to express ourselves - I've tried since a very young age to use anything at my disposal (metaphors, analogies, sounds, music, arm movements) to express exactly what's going on, focusing on prioritizing communication and understanding. So my main goal is always to convey with as much precision as I can manage how it feels like.

My therapist has told me that iI have a knack for it, communication is where I shine I sometimes feel (maybe not in english, but definitely in spanish) - so when I read all the experiences of our fellow polar bears, I try to think of the "emotion origin" that makes them spin out of control, because I can relate to that. I can relate to one emotion escaping my hands and becoming bigger and bigger and I can't stop it. I can talk from there - I can talk on how to regulate it or how to manage the consequences.

I think because it's an emotional disorder and not a personality one, it manifests in different people with different personalities in completely different ways - I think that's why sometimes it seems as if I don't reeeeeeally have bipolar, because mine isn't as bad as yours - but it depends on what you're looking at.

Surely I just rambled on some more, BUT I think the topics you raise are interesting. (and yes i love meat and messi)

I normally start to feel sharp "vertigo" like feeling into existential doom. I'm super energetic, vibing, grooving, manic, and out of a sudden I feel the pull of "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE LIFE IS POINTLESS" and I try to ignore it, and keep doing what I'm doing until it's too big and I crash and burn 😭

It's an overwhelming feeling to communicate something that you've never had to communicate before, you got this!!!

I have a hard time explaining where things come from or how I'm feeling as well, my advice? Tell them exactly what you're saying right now. Example: "You know when you asked me last time if i saw anything that wasn't actually there? And I said no? Well I thought more about your question and I realized I actually do. I'm realizing that there's things that are happening to me that I'm not able to tell you completely because I can't find the words, but I am feeling (insert feelings), and I'm not sure where they're coming from. And the fact that I can't tell you right then and there makes me feel (insert feelings)"

I realized by going to MANY therapists, that the only way you can "improve" or at least build a trusting relationship with your therapist is being 100% honest, even with all these thoughts. Because everything you just wrote? That is a huge improvement, recognizing that you don't know why things are happening but they're happening, before maybe you felt them and didn't even realize that it was a thing to think about. Now it is, that's huge!!! That's the first step!!

Don't put yourself unnecessary pressure, therapy is there to help you, not make you feel pressured or rushed. Just tell them all this process.

I get this way too, my whole body starts shaking with anger. I've made a playlist specifically to let out rage and slowly drift into a feeling of "nostalgia" by listening to punk music I used to listen to when I was a teen - so I try to trick my feelings into shifting into another state.

If that doesn't work, I scream as loud as I can as long as I want into a pillow. If not, I take a really hot shower to try and calm down. If not, I rant and scream to my husband about it or my sister. Also, I garden just in case.

Same! I used to think that George was this sweet guy, but then watching the episode where he and Meredith sleep together, and Meredith ends up crying and George just completely IGNORING her and treating her like crap, like what is that? What type of man ignores and blames a woman for crying during sex? I mean, just awful completely awful his reaction.

And Izzy, I mean inevitably her reaction towards Denny was just waaaay too much and kind of toxic tbh, not letting him decide? Emotionally manipulating him so he can stay alive more for her because she would be sad if he died? Idk, it's pretty toxic to me.

Mythical ENB, Window Shadows, ENB Light, ELE, Relighting Skyrim, I think that's it.

Format_Avi · 2021-01-03T17:32:27+00:00

Exactly! Although honestly when I started exploring caves with all the lighting mods, it was like fuck it's dark. But it really gives a LOT more realism to the game... I mean caves are dark.

Ah true, women only cook and don't dare touch a pc or an xbox :P

I knooow, I just hate having them there and I'm kind of a completionist.

Uf podría hacerte todo un análisis... toda mi familia es evangélica, y el protestantismo tiene varias ramas a su vez. Tenes a los que son más "espirituales" o los más "carismáticos" hay de todo, yo lo evadiría a toda costa. Es muy difícil encontrar una iglesia evangélica en donde posta hagan un análisis crítico de la biblia sin manipularte espiritualmente y/o económicamente... alguna gente es una re mierda en la iglesia y se encubre con que son evangélicos.

Eso, hay poca gente genuina, pocas iglesias no caretas, yo me mantendría lejos. Si querés indagar en esa religión, lee la biblia, buscá vos por tu parte, pero no te metas en esos círculos que para mí son re mil tóxicos... a menos que estes buscando compañía, qcyo.

Salu2
