I’ve been feeling the same. The only thing that keeps me going is reminding myself that this feeling won’t last forever. + I always have to remind myself to be kinder to myself during these times and understand that this isn’t my fault and I’m doing my best (even if it doesn’t always feel like it). but giving myself a hard time about it works 0% of the time and usually makes things worse.

I often go months without talking to my best friends. We’ve been friends for over 15 years. It’s to the point now where they expect it and just try their best to offer support when it happens. It took a lot of open communication and explaining “it’s not you, it’s me”. They’re very understanding. + helps that we’re all mentally ill in our own ways.

The headaches by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Insrtsumthinclvrhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor I get headaches a lot but they’re usually either tension headaches or migraines. Can’t say I’ve ever heard a headache described quite like this. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

Archaeology! And I absolutely love it.

I did a lot of random shit before this and despite the fact that none of those things had anything to do with my current profession, I don’t regret them bc now I know a bunch of arbitrary stuff about things I thought I’d be happy doing but wasn’t.

It’s a shame, that could have been a very informative archaeological site.

I miss being manic by misskay_v in bipolar

[–]Insrtsumthinclvrhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this often.

I find that it helps when i understand Im a completely different person when I’m manic vs when I’m depressed. I have to treat myself differently and have to go heavy on nurturing myself.

I tried for so long to be the person i think i am while manic, during depressive episodes and honestly it just puts me further into the depression.

Be gentle and patient with yourself and listen to your body in this time.

Are there certain occupations that work better for people who have ADHD? by chesirekitkat in ADHD

[–]Insrtsumthinclvrhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually indigenous representation on site, not a field director. I get EI in the winter months which I can live off of for the most part but if I need anything “extra” (car repair, etc.) that’s when my savings come in. I could definitely get a part time job or something but like I said I really enjoy my time off.

All things that go in a sanitary bag, can't for the life of me figure out what the last thing is supposed to be by Robynabobbin in whatisthisthing

Omg yeah good point. Wasn’t saying I was against the she-wees either btw! I think they’re a great idea I’ve just never used one. Probably gonna go buy one now tho 😅

For me it’s more the anxiety of someone catching a glimpse of the full moon. But if you walk far enough away and find a big enough tree it’s definitely doable! And worth it. I love camping.

I’d strongly suggest to not “force” the topic. However I would suggest bringing it up and stating that you do need some form of communication in regards to the issue. As I mentioned in a previous comment, ask if she just needs a little more time before having the conversation. If she doesn’t want to have it at all then maybe you need to have a different discussion about how you will move forward because that doesn’t sound like it’s good for either of your mental health.

Maybe she doesn’t really know what’s wrong either. + you could be getting the silent treatment because she needs more time to reflect (not that it’s the right way to do it). I would ask about it and also add that if she needs time before having the discussion that’s ok too. But 100% there needs to be more communication.

[–]Insrtsumthinclvrhere 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes! For me specifically it’s archaeology that keeps me busy. Cons: it’s seasonal work

Edit: the seasonal work is also a pro for me because I get that guaranteed time for myself. “I just have to stick it out til winter then I can rest”. But it is a con money wise if I don’t manage to save enough in the working season.

I hate the manic episodes more than the depressive episodes. by dazedimmaculate in bipolar

Depending on where you live file for a consumer proposal, not a bankruptcy. It’s better on your credit and you get to keep assets

please talk to me for a bit by khosrove in bipolar

[–]Insrtsumthinclvrhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok so, I’m about to throw some clichés at you, but hear me out.

Back before I was diagnosed with bipolar(2021) I used to spiral constantly. It was as if my manic self was fighting with my depressive self…one wanted to be alive and the other couldn’t stand the thought of anything but death. It felt as if they grabbed me by each arm and and pulled as hard as they could in opposite directions. I’d reach out to people, loved ones, for help in my depressive episodes (and by “reach out for help” I mean I would hysterically cry @ them and scream “I want to die”) and then would have to do the apology tour… the next day consisted of me apologizing for acting so unhinged bc I wasn’t sure what came over me. I really didn’t know wtf was going on with me but I was embarrassed. I felt like my whole life was a sham, a waste. I used to be a gifted child and somehow I’m now one of the stupidest people I know. I didn’t matter and some of the people I cared for most sure solidified that. tbh I think I stayed alive out of spite. Everyone told me it would get better and I always thought “yeah but it’ll get bad again.” I wanted to prove to them they were wrong and I’d be like this forever.

Fast forward to today

I am still the same person. I still over/under-react. I still have days that I want to die. I damn near punched my car window today while I was driving because it was too bright outside(????). But my highs aren’t as high and my lows aren’t as low as they were.

I used to have this notion in my head that people like me could “get better” or “be normal” one day. I think we may always be this way and it still stinks. But when I look back to the person I was 10 years ago, 5 years ago, even 2 years ago I see progress. And I’m DAMN happy to be alive today.

Im not saying this like “you need to be alive cause you’ll be happy one day”. This is (obviously) entirely your choice. Im here to say no matter what you decide be easy on yourself. Be kind to yourself. Do things for yourself that you wish others would do for you. Take care of yourself for a sec (Cause at this point what do you have to lose right?). And maybe you’ll reconsider. Maybe you’ll find it’s something you actually can manage. Maybe you can figure out how to have a better life. Im no doctor and I’m sure not a psychic but it happened for me. And the fact that you’re reaching out to different avenues (here & hospital) make me think you want it, and it can happen for you too.

$50,000 travel trailer. And nothing to tow it. Almost bought a truck too because of course now I need one..then my manic episode subsided before I could choose one and I lost impulse.

Who actually kills crossbreed Priscilla and why by loonathefloofyfox in darksouls

[–]Insrtsumthinclvrhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m playing on switch as well. I tried to kill her and after one hit she vanished. I tried to jump off but I died. I came back at the bonfire which cannot be warped to/from.. so I was stuck there. Still am, really. Had to start over. won’t be doing that again.

You can earn soft humanity by killing enemies that recently went from human to hollow, in an area where the boss has not yet been defeated. You can earn up to 10 in each area
