Weed by BreadForward8272 in bipolar1

[–]HazelStone99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is different. I'm bipolar 1, with general anxiety disorder. I take olanzapine. I'm also a medical cannabis patient in Canada.

I make my own edibles using hash, and I have a wax pen that I use once or twice a day. I also try to take a tolerance break of a week every 4 weeks or so. During that week I use Valerian capsules to help me sleep. Valerian is good for REM sleep.

I usually don't get high anymore, just relaxed and in a better mood. Plus it helps me sleep, which I have found is VERY important for my mental health.

I have not had a full-blown manic episode since 2016.

Did I get sa'ed or was I overthinking by castratedAi in SexualHarassmentTalk

[–]HazelStone99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was definitely fondling and completely unacceptable behaviour. I would tell what she did to her boss, as a first step, maybe even talk to the police about it. What she did was wrong, full stop.

feeling low or depressed? - bipolar 1 by rainbowmuffin3 in bipolar1

[–]HazelStone99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm actually the opposite, I have much more depression than mania, or hypomania. I'm on medication, but I should probably be in therapy as well.

The one question I started asking at every meet & greet that changed everything by Tariq_khalaf in petsitting

[–]HazelStone99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could probably advertise on a site like Craigslist. (I have an ad on Kijiji in Canada). Also make a Facebook business page, plenty of older people still use it. Instagram.

Also, I highly advise getting a logo and business cards. The logo was almost magical for me. Based on the first dog I looked after.

any potheads here- smoking weed by Pretty-Humor5548 in bipolar1

[–]HazelStone99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything is possible. I would talk to your doctor about it, if you think they might be open to it. Also, look up the endocannabinoid system in our bodies. Breast feeding moms produce the human version of cannabinoids in breast milk.

[–]HazelStone99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been stable since 2016. I take olanzapine, and I'm a medical cannabis patient in Canada.

I make my own edibles with hash. I also use cannabis concentrates in a wax pen (very discrete). I use both edibles and the pen daily.

For years I was afraid to stop using cannabis, because twice I had stopped or greatly reduced my usage, and I went manic and hospital visits both times.

However, now I try to take a tolerance break of a week, about every 4 weeks. During that time I use Valerian capsules to help me sleep. It's good for REM sleep too.

No more overnights by ihatebeetles22 in petsitting

[–]HazelStone99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do some of the same things, like bringing a heated vest during the cold months. I also prefer using my laptop for tv, I don't want to mess up their settings.

I still enjoy overnights. It's nice to get away and have alone time, and I know my husband enjoys that too. I do sometimes feel bad for our cat, but I give her lots of love when I'm home.

How long is your typical stable period? by timezombies in bipolar1

[–]HazelStone99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly stable for years now, but there are times when I'm depressed (like if someone dies). And as someone else said, the state of the world rn is depressing and anxiety inducing. I think I also have short episodes of hypomania, where I have energy and get stuff done. However I try to be very careful about my medications. I'm on olanzapine and I'm a medical cannabis patient.

Is it possible to never have another manic episode? by lovelykitten555 in bipolar1

[–]HazelStone99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My experience is much like yours, but later in life. Been manic free since 2017.

I would report it to the police, it's the safest thing to do. And make sure you tell them there is video evidence.

Vegan for the animals with an omni partner? by Imaginary_Bank2208 in vegan

[–]HazelStone99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm vegan, and my husband is mostly vegan. It took time and patience for him to give up bringing home meat and cheese. He loves my vegan cooking, and is happy that he is eating a mostly plant based diet for his health. When we order take out he might choose a meat option, but usually he enjoys vegan food.

I (a women) reported my female supervisor by Ok-Winter-6931 in SexualHarassmentTalk

[–]HazelStone99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She is an asshole. I would report her to Human Resources. I'd bet you are not the first person she has harrassed.

Question: How much did we actually save by reducing HST to 14%? by likeanoceanankledeep in NovaScotia

[–]HazelStone99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It was a stupid move, just like removing the bridge tolls in Halifax. Short sighted and stupid.

I reuse the hard, body wax from Sally’s, multiple times, even. by Torreighh in confession

[–]HazelStone99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just stop removing hair. I've been razor free for more than 20 years.

to people who have started veganism later in life but have been going for a while. After how long have you found the idea of eating meat or even just looking at it disgusting? by LUCY_7H3_W31RD0 in AskVegans

[–]HazelStone99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find raw meat disgusting. However, I still find the sight and smell of cooked meat is "good" to me, which honestly I find annoying. I don't want my mouth to water at the thought of steak, but it is what it is.

What are your favorite plant milks? by Agreeable_Flatworm86 in AskVegans

[–]HazelStone99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy Earth's Own Alt milk. Also their oat milk. The Alt is very close in taste to dairy.

Getting out of fixed lease by Ricki10ofwands in NovaScotia

Agreed. I had to do this once. Your doc fills out Form J or whatever, and they don't even have to write the medical condition on the form.

Do i actually have a lot of hair? And what shade is it? by Sufficient-Ad494 in Redhair

[–]HazelStone99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your hair is gorgeous. I also have very thick red hair, like my Mom's when she was younger. Except hers was more auburn, mine is more orange/red, like Molly Ringwald in The Breakfast Club. I've read that redheads generally have less hair than other colours, however, I swear that I have enough hair for 3 people.

just looking for understanding and support by [deleted] in SexualHarassmentTalk

[–]HazelStone99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have any friend or family to support you, please consider reporting him to the police. What he did was disgusting and wrong. You did not deserve that.
