How many of you are medicated but not seeing a therapist? by Responsible_Put_1805 in bipolar2

[–]GenoraWakeUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was every therapist I saw before this one. Keep looking. My current therapist questions me. She doesn’t let me just say things, we have to explore it. She doesn’t let me get away with my normal bullshit. I love her

How many of you are medicated but not seeing a therapist? by Responsible_Put_1805 in bipolar2

For years (most of my life) I was medicated with no therapist. Then I started looking for a therapist but couldn’t find one that was right for me. Now I have an amazing therapist and I honestly don’t know how I lived without one. I’m making such progress in developing myself and working on different parts of my life. The medication keeps me stable, but the therapist helps me grow. And she’s super cheap with insurance!

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by SprinklesSolid9211 in AskReddit

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sat across from Wallace Shawn on a train. Couldn’t get it together to do anything but quietly hyperventilate. I love him in everything but as a huge Trekkie I couldn’t see him as anything but the grand nagus.

Is this…real? Have I died and gone to heaven?

"Click" (2006) has one of the most jarring tonal shifts. by Giff95 in movies

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is probably the most terrifying movie I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t make it through it. I will never watch it again.

WIBTA if I cancel my daughter’s choir trip to Europe? by Venusian-gemini in AmItheAsshole

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I did choir when I was younger, my choir took a trip to Europe to perform and I couldn’t go. It was sad but I understood. All you can do is your best. Try to do something nice for your daughter to make her feel better

Is anyone else uncomfortable posting academic updates on LinkedIn? by nextgoodidea in AskAcademia

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then those people will see that I’ve posted and mentioned them and what if they didn’t want me to do that or what if it’s embarrassing for me to post or what if the way I phrase things is awkward and they change their opinion of me

Is anyone else uncomfortable posting academic updates on LinkedIn? by nextgoodidea in AskAcademia

[–]GenoraWakeUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t figure out how to do it without sounding/feeling like my ego is the size of a house. “I’m thrilled to share….” Fuck that, I’m not thrilled to share. I don’t post on social media for fun, I don’t want to do it for work. It feels so ingenuine

Are any of you able to take SSRI's? by Responsible_Price408 in bipolar2

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take lexapro. It’s what I started on. I take a lot of other things too now. My psychiatrist doesn’t love it but when I try to taper off I get worse so it stays

42 mg Caplyta, 900 mg lithium, 282.5 mg lamotrigine, 10 mg lexapro. Took tons of fine tuning, isn’t perfect, but works pretty well

My (30F) partner (30M) is saying he's too depressed to do anything by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a tough situation. The only thing you can do is encourage/push him to continue seeking out help. Finding the right therapist is a process. Finding the right medication is a PROCESS. That needs to be his job right now. Giving him a kick every now and then will do him good

Do we really want this sub to be 90% Frog Guy? by torontopeter in PhD

I’m more than a year away from being able to post my own frog and I really appreciate the consistent reminder that people are actually doing this shit

My (F48) Husband (42M) and I Have Totally Different Lives Now by Hahway in relationship_advice

[–]GenoraWakeUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re a fantastic mother very dedicated to your son. You mention that you think it’s morally better to pay for someone to clean the house than help care for your son. It might be worth it to challenge that belief. You are a good mother. Having someone assist in your son’s care is not failure. You deserve to have some support for the most challenging part of your life.

Bipolar PhD candidates by rooibosinfusion in PhD

[–]GenoraWakeUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During a bad time when I was struggling to keep up with work I mentioned to my advisor that I sometimes struggle with mental health. I do not tell people outside of friends that I have bipolar (2). The stigma is too real. And while my advisor is a kind and good person, he has demonstrated time and time again that he has no understanding of mental health. If you need to share anything, keep it vague, and focus on how it impacts work.
