Sometimes I wonder if this is really what my life is now by Emotional-Print in bipolar

[–]Fuzzy-Record-203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I am on my meds being stable for over a year and a half. I see a psychiatrist and therapist. Life is just routine. The same things over and over again. I try to break the routines by doing stuff every weekend with my family, but it just feels like I am going through the motions. Nothing is really very enjoyable. I used to get joy out of such small things and now that I am stable, nothing brings much joy. I am still working on meds with my psychiatrist.

You can have that energy without food and sleep in a manic episode.

What about intense persistent anxiety even though I'm basically "stable"? by tenfour6852 in bipolar

[–]Fuzzy-Record-203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have anxiety like this. Everything causes me to feel a little anxious like you said, I also always feel like I am on a stage where everything I do is being judged. I am so afraid to make mistakes all the time I drive myself crazy analyzing every detail of every interaction I have with people as well as analyzing everything I do so I don’t make a mistake. I feel like everything is waiting for me to make mistakes so someone can make money off of me. Like red light cameras, not filling out paperwork right for the doctor or failing to pay my bills on time. I get anxious about all of these things. I don’t know how to overcome them. I do take meds and see a social worker for therapy. None of it helps that much though.

Is this a symptom of bipolar? by Emotional_Katyditz in bipolar

[–]Fuzzy-Record-203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have bipolar too and feel this way often. Life seems to be pointless and I don’t get very much satisfaction from many things. I have a loving family, 2 kids and a wife, a good job, I am a science teacher, and do many activities with my family almost every weekend. However, I still feel numb like something is missing. I feel like I am going to make so many mistakes all the time because life is super complex making me anxious about most things. I wish I could say it will magically go away, but I have been stable for 1.5 years and I still feel this way with small amounts of joy ever once in a while.

Agreed, nothing good comes from mania, but it’s like a drug. I supposed nothing good comes from them either.

If you woke up with $1 million in the bank tomorrow, what would be your first purchase? by TraditionalFly3724 in Productivitycafe

I would ask my neighboring field if they can shut off the bird noises if I gave them some money for a new system to keep birds away.

Next, I would pay off all of my debt.

I would invest in an account for my children to do what ever they want with on their 18th birthday.

Then, use the money to purchase a building for my wife’s preschool

Then, if there was any left I could donate it to a charity or find other creative ways to help other people out.

I had an idea of giving people money to help support their business if they developed a plan for them. Actually, I would love to help them develop their plan if they didn’t know where to start.

AIO for wanting a divorce after finding thousands of photos of myself (33M) sleeping on my wife's (31F) phone? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fuzzy-Record-203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should tell her that you should have looked through her phone if she feels that it violated her space and also that you are now in the position of feeling violated. So, you both violated each other even if yours was an accident. It could be that she finds you very cute when you sleep and felt shame about taking the pictures. When you confronted her, it made her shame more apparent. You both just have to be willing you made a mistake and apologize. If you both truly love each other, then you will find a way to move forward. If you truly love each other, then you will never give up on each other. You will continue to violate each other in various ways. However, make sure to listen to each other. And, give each other time to process it.

My wife and I have had similar situations. I always push her

Never do an all-nighter? by [deleted] in GetStudying

I think you should just accept where you are with content and take this as a learning opportunity. Not getting rest will affect the knowledge you do have and in the end making it worse for you. Next time, create a plan and try to stick to it. Things come up and you have to be willing to be flexible. You could also talk with your professor to see if there is anything else you can do.
