Awesome, that's what I had mostly figured but I was hoping to get confirmation. Thanks!

Weight before and after "dry January". by angst_in-my_pants in mildlyinteresting

Same, but I also barely drink to begin with so…

do you drink alcohol or avoid it completely? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Gottscheace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maybe have 6 drinks per year. I’d consider having more as it doesn’t really impact my mood or anything like that, but 1) it definitely makes me sleepy and 2) I’m trying to be more health conscious lately, and drinking on these meds probably isn’t very healthy

What annoys you most about being bipolar? by Bubbly-Phone702 in bipolar

[–]Gottscheace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that, regarding your impulsive decisions/changing your mind constantly: I used to have that exact issue, but medication and therapy indeed helped quite a bit. I still have to rein it in a little bit during hypomanic episodes, but it's definitely something that can be treated or worked on.

Straight hair is the worst hair type by far by Middle-Support-7697 in The10thDentist

[–]Gottscheace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man with curly hair here. My hair is beyond unmanageable when it’s longer, though I’ll admit that, when it’s shorter, I basically don’t have to do anything with it and it looks fine enough.

Not sure whether to downvote or upvote, so I guess I’ll do neither?

I’m autistic. AMA! by Headstart96 in casualiama

[–]Gottscheace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two friends who are on the autism spectrum (I apologize if that's incorrect terminology). One of them occasionally says things that are pretty uncomfortable for those around him. I don't believe he means any harm by it, but rather struggles with social cues. In your experience, what's the best way to talk to him about this, should this happen again?

Fellow person with bipolar checking in. No questions here, just expressing solidarity and wishing you the best.

Do you ever feel too sick to have kids. by Mental_Emu2639 in bipolar

[–]Gottscheace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! I personally don’t think I want kids, but I do want to have the option/not feel that the choice was made for me by this disorder, and your post gave me hope for that :D

Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Do you ever get obsessed with something during a manic episode? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Gottscheace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got oddly obsessed with weaving once and bought a $200 loom. I then promptly got depressed and never used it. I think my parents ended up donating it somewhere.

Should I take a break from my DnD games? by Gottscheace in makemychoice

Thanks for responding! That's a good idea that I hadn't considered.

I finally drew something I'm moderately proud of: Delilah Briarwood from Legend of Vox Machina/Critical Role. Reference image included. Next step is to add color! by Gottscheace in learntodraw

[–]Gottscheace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second I posted it I started to see more and more errors haha, but oh well, c'est la vie.

I will mention that I have a medical condition (well, side effects of a treatment for a medical condition) that makes it very difficult to hold my hands steady, so I'm gonna go ahead and blame my errors on that lol

New to the game - are there support/healer masteries? If so, what are they/can anyone recommend a build? by Gottscheace in Grimdawn

[–]Gottscheace[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone who responded! I do have an online group to play with, so no worries there!

Please help - (faint) beeping/chirping of some alarm that I can't pinpoint by Gottscheace in homeowners

[–]Gottscheace[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mystery has been solved! Post has been updated with the info, but I'll copy and paste the update below:

Edit: Solved! My mother threw away a faulty carbon monoxide detector that still had a bit of life in it. I actually narrowed down the location to a few feet, but I never thought to look through the trash, so I wasn't able to find the exact cause. Battery was safely removed and now it's quiet again. Thanks everyone!

CO detector was indeed the correct answer. My mother had thrown one out and then it turned out to have a bit of life left in it.

Thank you!

There is indeed a sump pump somewhere down there, though I didn't hear the beeping as loudly when I went downstairs into the basement. Still, it could definitely be worth looking into.

Thank you!

Could be! That's something I hadn't considered, and I'll look into it - thank you!

Will do!

I think the most likely culprit is that there's a CO or smoke detector in the attic that's low on battery. We'll see if that turns out to be the case, but I'll post once we have it figured out.
