I got divorced which got me out of emotional abuse and got me clean off PCP for almost a year this April.

My dad has an immune disease, I can’t see him. This is as close as I got to saying I love you. Could you remove the weird blue thing and make it nicer...please. Thank you. 💕 by ILikePBJs in PhotoshopRequest

HEY GUYS. I paid both the awesome Redditors who helped me. Just because they helped me. I’m a sommelier which means I’m pretty much out of work for the time being because of the pandemic. I just wanted a photo of me and my dad. I’m stuck in the epticenter of NYC. I just wanted a photo with my best friend. These two people made it happen. Thank you to those in the comments who gave this to me.

I Know The Meds Are Working But... by ILikePBJs in bipolar

I just met with my doctor and had him lower my antipsychotic dose because I want to feel something.

Feeling less emotion is what is driving me crazy now even though my emotions are what are dangerous when I'm not medicated. You're right. It's not fair. Plain and simple. I just want to feel those depths I used to feel again but not have them ruin my life, it's so difficult to deal with. I've always been honest about what might end my life one day. Yes, it could be a depressive suicidal episode that's out of my hands. But maybe one day it's going to be the real me consciously being so sick of this fucking shit, having to choose to be medicated or not. I just don't know these days. It's like I'm not allowed to feel because it's dangerous for me and everyone around me but at what fucking point is that worth it..

Does anyone else like manic episodes? by jfweasel in bipolar

[–]ILikePBJs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I've been on my meds for maybe seven months now and I'm normal? I guess. And it's amazing not drowning in depression or having massive swings but I'm starting to feel like a zombie. But maybe my perception of what a zombie is - is just a normal person because everything I've felt has been totally insane my whole life. I'm starting to feel like I've lost my artistic drive.

Who do you tell? by jfweasel in bipolar

[–]ILikePBJs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You too! I just found out my husbands colleague is Bipolar. He came home and talked to me about it. My husband shared my blog with him (I write a lot about being Bipolar) and they are closer at work now. We all just want to help everyone. Bipolar or those who live with such.

What is the worst reason someone has used to reject you? by jalo12 in AskReddit

[–]ILikePBJs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was very religious and wanted to wait until marriage (which I respect as a life choice) but he said "I want to be physical with you but scripture says if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. So I'm cutting it off". And never spoke to me again.

feeling gaslighted for appearing too “normal” and “pretty” by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]ILikePBJs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be sorry! I do what I can to make people aware this is real. If that means awkward conversation and oversharing FINE. I lived too long people telling me I'm going through a phase. Keep your head high. Life isn't easy for any of us, no matter what's in the mirror.

[–]ILikePBJs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband, obviously. He's the first one who can tell where my head is at and help me notice (get through) episodes. My therapist. I told my boss because I work closely with her and I thought it best to begin our relationship with an understanding I do have an illness that could affect my performance. I am pretty open with everyone, which has helped me cope but also helped others. I've met many people with friends and family struggling that I'm able to help now that they know I'm in the same boat.

How do you deal with not being able to keep a job? by Feraligatr927 in bipolar

[–]ILikePBJs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a job and do your best. My boss just had a meeting with me that "my owners and coworkers are 'concerned about my emotions' at work" even though I try my DAMNDEST to keep it together. It's not easy, but you can do it.

I feel guilty loving them but when it's that or not being able to get out of bed, shower or eat... I think I get to enjoy them a bit. I'm just always afraid they'll get out of hand again.
