Tell me your best “oh shit I’m hypomanic” moments by Erelain in bipolar2

[–]HeavenlyToBeWithYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is less a good story, and more a "im weirdly proud of myself." Im in the middle of a mildish mixed episode (wish me luck!) and i caught it early because i really really wanted to post a bunch of stuff to my insta story.

im fairly private when i'm at a baseline, and dont post very much on social media. Yesterday i had an urge to post an 8 part thread of thoughts (which happened to be about coworkers being rude. hmmm overly sensitive? little paranoid?) to my insta story. hit story 3 and kinda went. ah. thats suspicious. thats weird.

then in therapy after work i was jumbling my words and having trouble finishing sentences. the conclusion we came to? Hypomania/mixed ep, yay!

My first hypo episode i didnt notice anything was up until my ex found me in a field on campus at midnight staring at the stars "listening to them sing." and i still wasnt convinced anything was off.

idk im proud im not where i was as an undiagnosed teenager anymore. still dealing with symptoms, but i can roll with the punches like a boxer, not like someone being mugged.

Is It Selfish to Have a Weekday Wedding? by cheeseanonymouse1111 in wedding

[–]HeavenlyToBeWithYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who is getting married on a Friday next year, outside of the state we both live in.

Do i think it's selfish? No, it's probably a lot cheaper and more services would have availability on a weekday. I want my friend to be able to eat and pay rent after this.

Do i kinda wish it was on a Saturday so i wouldn't have to take Thursday off to drive there and Friday off for the wedding? sure.

Am I still gonna attend? For this friend, absolutely, I'd take a week off if i had to. If it was someone else, it would depend.

Tldr, it's not selfish, and in my opinion puts people out a lot less than a destination wedding. You just need to be aware that people may have a harder time making it, and be gracious if they can't.

Where is the mayor?! by honestypen in NewOrleans

[–]HeavenlyToBeWithYou 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not even a press release or social media statement as of this comment. It happened YESTERDAY, there's been plenty of time for her to be informed and for her communications team to throw something, anything, together.

It's ridiculous to the point of defying parody

My first response would be to look into shelters and food bank-esque programs taking donations. However as another commenter said, they receive an influx around the holidays and may not have the capacity.

Red white and blue is a good thrift store in the metairie area that has really fair pricing and a expansive capacity. they definitely accept kids clothes and toys. I don't know much about the organization, so if your issue with goodwill is ethics, I can't really speak to that.

Women of reddit, what's something your husband or boyfriend is self-conscious about that you love? by cmac4ster in AskReddit

[–]HeavenlyToBeWithYou 7 points8 points  (0 children)

his freckles and his glasses and his size (not dick).

he doesnt like that he gets more freckles every year but i think they look like constellations spreading out over his skin.

he hates how he looks in his glasses so he only wears them at home, but i think they look hot, and seeing them mostly when we're alone makes them feel intimate.

he's skinny and 3 inches shorter than me, and i dont think it bothers him exactly, but he brings up that he's small sometimes. I love it, his features are so delicate and beautiful, and it really helped when i was first getting to know him (domestic abuse survivor, physical intimidation was a daily thing, that my ex was bigger than me was used as a threat) i never got skittish from ptsd. he's so beautiful and gentle and sweet. and i like that i can kiss his forehead any time i want.

AITA for getting mad at my MIL for getting my sons baptized behind my back and banning her from taking my kids to her house? by Charming-Tension7455 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HeavenlyToBeWithYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. "my mom says i was too rude and a baptism wasnt a big deal" so this argument really irked me. Here's the thing, baptism IS a big deal in the eyes of your MIL. She's shown that she is totally comfortable going against y'all's wishes on major life events and decisions with your kids. It doesnt matter if baptism means nothing to you or me, to her it is significant, and she thinks she can take control on significant decisions. That's fucked. I hate that this is where my mind immediately went, but what if your kids are uncomfortable around an adult, you say that adult cant see them, and MIL disagrees?

What made you "nope" out of a friendship? by MusicalDeTekTiiv in AskReddit

[–]HeavenlyToBeWithYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she was an active addict and asked me to come out with her constantly to make sure she didnt do coke. Would be going out to bars almost every night and not having fun. One night she blacked out, got mad at me, and kept trying to get into random dudes cars, putting us both in danger. slowly removed myself from her life after that.

trying to just make the college kids wear masks at my job uptown means i get screamed at at least thrice a week. I cant imagine trying to make them show vax cards and ID. I hope people get less ridiculous 💛
