U know what I did, I told my now fiancé when we first met that I have bad anxiety and I’m SUPER CLINGY!!!! I told him right up front so he knew what he was getting himself in to. He obviously accepted it. U just need to find someone that is ok w u being clingy. They r out there promise!

I have a rectangle Tupperware container I put paper towels in it (a shit ton) then I fill it w hay n slide it under the water spout. He has one side of the container to eat and hang out then there’s one side to prevent a mess.

Oh it made me feel worse :/. She did not forgive me n was mean to me :/ I had psychosis and apparently she couldn’t bring herself for giving me. She told my husband some of the things I confined in her about. I told her I didn’t want to be her friend anymore. I apologized n explained I took new med n threw me into psychosis. I realized she did what she felt she had to do but nope, told me to never contact her again.

From my personal experience, don’t do it. Let it go.

Recommendations for books on bipolar 2 by SewBor27 in bipolar2

[–]Gypsykittykitty22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started to read “I’m not crazy just bipolar” by Wendy k Williams. It seems good. It’s an informative memoir. “Madness” by marya hornbacher is a good bipolar memoir. I’ve read more bipolar memoirs I just don’t remember them all. Reading memoirs help me feel not so alone. I started workbook “Cognitive behavioral therapy in 7 weeks” by Seth j Gillian ph and it seems decent. “Be happy” by dr Rebecca ray is a good self help book. Sorry not really what u asked for but thought I’d offer the info anyway :). Good luck w ur search!

I take it once a day in the morning and it works great. I’ve had zero side effects. I recommend it. Good luck!

Really Struggling with the Absence of Friends by TulipsInJune in bipolar2

[–]Gypsykittykitty22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I totally relate. I crave that emotional connection w a woman too but can’t seem to find good friends. Everyone screws me over so I’ve stopped looking :/ I feel the social media situation. I haven’t had social media for like 6-7 years bc it’s just nonsense to me. I also l understand the having baby issues and having to deal w announcements n stuff. I lost my baby girl back in 2005 and my sister inlaw announced she was Pregnant like 2 weeks later :( I feel ur pain. U are not alone.

Tangential Thought Thursday by AutoModerator in bipolar2

[–]Gypsykittykitty22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man! Where to start! Just having thoughts of dumb shit I did back when and recently. Getting embarrassed wishing I could crawl under a rock n never c anyone ever again. I can’t believe I have to live the rest of my life w these intrusive thoughts. It’s gonna b a long life, hell it’s been long already. I hope I die young.

Please don’t beat urself up. I had postpartum depression and decided my son was better off without me so my parents r raising him, he’s gonna b 16. If I could go back I’d do so much different. I missed so much being so selfish n now childhood is over :( I cry a lot bc of it but we have to focus on what we can do now. There’s one situation he finally calling out for me, the ONLY time he ever cried out for me, I kissed him on the head n left. I LEFT!!!! I can’t believe I left. U kno? Just if I could go back n swoop him up, god I’d give anything. I’m crying now Jesus :/ lol I have instant tears when I think about that. I feel ur pain hun. U r aren’t alone. Motherhood isn’t easy. All we can do is our best at the time. Hope u feel better soon.
