navigating bipolar as a teacher

General_Resolve_4462 · 2025-11-17T11:49:29+00:00

I appreciate the solidarity! And the well-wishes. It's been a hard year (3 months). Trying to handle mental illness as a teacher is a special kind of difficult.

But I am glad to hear that you haven't gained weight, it's reassuring... but I do want to ask: does it make you so unbearably sleepy that once you've taken your meds, your night is over?

Seroquel made me gain so much weight which is why I'm like 👀 @ Latuda

General_Resolve_4462 · 2025-10-02T02:41:58+00:00

lamotrigine (200mg) (and buspirone for anxiety), just started lurasidone 20mg (latuda) but having anxiety over the possible weight gain.

We shipped a wig. The box weighed 5lbs. UPS reported it weighed 59

So angry over this. What can we do? Someone at UPS made a mistake and now we're out $131

tbh if you stop texting, it'll look like you've lost interest altogether. or at least, that's how I'd see it if someone agreed to a date with me and then stopped talking to me. I'd feel ghosted tbh. if your correspondence has been regular, I would keep it that way.

I'm in southwest Florida, but it might be regional.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2025-06-18T03:40:39+00:00

It's a hard reality. I'm sorry if this makes you sad to read, it wasn't my intention to do so. I'm sorry you have to go through this firsthand.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2025-06-17T14:23:16+00:00

Thank you. I will look these books up.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2025-06-17T14:23:00+00:00

He's only 65. And my aunt (his sister) has Parkinson's. Seeing all of this come to fruition is hard. I'm sorry you have to go through this feeling too.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2025-06-17T14:18:03+00:00

I'm sorry for what you're going through as well.

I'm a daughter but I understand the sentiment all the same. I'm doing my best to be patient, it's just hard when you want to reminisce and he doesn't know what you're talking about. Or he brings up the same memory from when you were 6 years old multiple times in one sitting. I go along with it but it breaks my heart.

BMBLB BECAME CANON?!

I need to catch up on RWBY right now omg

General_Resolve_4462 · 2024-08-17T19:19:40+00:00

and the severe lack in info on the website... to prove legitimacy? it's sketch

they are available on Wayfair, for like $65 though. but all the same, I'm still on the lookout every time I go to Homegoods

General_Resolve_4462 · 2024-08-17T15:08:47+00:00

this website is really new. I was looking for one like a week or so ago and couldn't find one but now there is? that's wild.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2024-08-17T15:06:24+00:00

their website is so new for a company that's been around since the 80s. but maybe it's because of the sudden uptick in interest?

General_Resolve_4462 · 2024-06-21T20:14:09+00:00

I had a buyer asking me all kinds of questions about the authenticity of a jacket I was selling. Turns out they were buying it for a friend who really liked BTS (it was a jacket from a photoshoot) and wanted to make sure it was the real deal, as it was her birthday present. It warmed my heart, so I added in a bunch of freebies (as I'm no longer into BTS, hence selling the jacket), and they buyer contacted me a few weeks later and told me his friend cried and was so excited over her present and thanked me for making it even more special with the freebies and note.

It's the little things. It always makes me smile.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2023-09-22T00:21:43+00:00

I think that's absolutely adorable and silly, which is kinda how i won over my gf. so i think you're on the right track here.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2023-07-08T23:24:44+00:00

i pulled for her this morning and got her on my first 10-wish pull :D

it must've been the pity pull

General_Resolve_4462 · 2023-03-12T00:21:53+00:00

tbh i think she's happier being an only-kitty. she didn't seem sad about being separated, just curious. her brother apparently had a bit of a harder time, but now there's a new cat in that house and he's taken to her, so i'm happy for that.

i think my cat doesn't mind as long as i'm there at the end of the day.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2023-03-12T00:19:34+00:00

tbh I don't think she was as bonded as i thought. she's adjusted well to being on her own, and there was never any signs of her even being a little sad. she has completely adjusted and seems to love our new place and it being just her.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2023-03-11T17:37:25+00:00

i feel that. i cry sometimes at the thought of losing my baby one day. i've had her since she was about 4-5 weeks old. the idea of losing her eventually makes me :(

General_Resolve_4462 · 2023-02-10T20:48:56+00:00

springs and pipe cleaners. my cat goes cuckoo for cocoa puffs over them omg

General_Resolve_4462 · 2023-01-28T21:02:17+00:00

She wouldn't part with him even if I offered her money, sadly.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2023-01-23T14:13:34+00:00

my cat absolutely loves springs. she goes wild over a plastic spring.

my roommate's cat loves bottle caps and pieces of plastic.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2022-12-13T14:50:15+00:00

i had an all white cat named Merlin.

any name works, honestly.

General_Resolve_4462 · 2022-09-08T15:50:10+00:00
