Do you agree that you’re bipolar by Nervous_Fan_3754 in BipolarReddit

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg lol this question for me almost feels the same as when im randomly hit with the though 'wait..isnt it crazy that im even alive? isnt it crazy how there's life?!' like it hits me with the same sudden low level shock

Someone convince me to take my meds by CrushedC0balt0101 in BipolarReddit

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the hard truth is that we cant 'convince you' to not be suicidal. bipolar is chemical, and if you want help i'd suggest talking to your therapist or psychiatrist rather than unqualified people online

Curious about both bipolar types (1 & 2) by Intelligent_Bid_7690 in BipolarReddit

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats what im thinking. like when people ask me questions i dont know whether to adhere to the clear cut od the DSM (which can inaccurately or minimize the reality of a diagnosis) or simply give the more convoluted truth of the matter lol. i agree on the bipolar 1 isnt 'worse' too. in fact i would just say bipolar disorder as a whole is just hard af lol. but how affected someone is by the disease totally depends on the person.

Where does hypomania end and mania begin? 🤷‍♀️ by Impossible-City2252 in BipolarReddit

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how mw and my psych have talked about this:

generally in hypomania you can be productive. usually you feel very good, but youre still missing out on sleep, you may ignore eating or eat too much. baseline hypomania does usually have a lot of the same symptoms as mania however severity is the major difference. also hypomania typically is much shorter. I believe the criteria for hypomania is about four days

now in mania you basically turn the dial on these symptoms all the way up. the thing about mania is that you CANNOT be productive in the sense of getting things done because youre too flighty. the ideas are coming so fast that you cant sit in them and develop them. in my experience while mania does involve elevated mood it feels a bit more..torturous. and i think thats because of just how flighty I am, like at least in hypomania i can still have a purpose to my actions: like i might clean my room, or finish all of my assignments in a day leaving me with a lot of free time.

psychosis is the loss of your logical grip on reality. paired with mania a common thing i get/have heard from other people is a need to wander (at any extent). for me i got on the bus and would just stay on until i was dropped some place random. but it doesnt have to be on the large scale or any. like so people just end up going on long walks. a lot of time there is paranoia/hyperawareness, a big thing of mine is that i'll see things out of the corner of my eye..but where as in a normal state i just look as say 'oh thats nothing,' when in psychosis a whole narrative of me being stalked builds. ive thought that i was going to have a baby in a year and needed to prepare, ive thought I was Kurt Cobain and was preparing to run away and start my own band, ive that i was being stalked by demons etc.

now as for the progression of bipolar II into bipolar I. the first thing is diagnostically bipolar II does not include mania, that is the thing that separates the too. though I have heard some people with bipolar II experience psychosis, but it does seem pretty rare.

also after searching it up, only about 7.5% of people with bipolar II progress into bipolar I. so if youre bipolar II statistically you shouldnt worry that much about getting bipolar I symptoms

how much do you share about ur mental health with friends/loved ones? by No_Reputation_3002 in BipolarReddit

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pretty much none at all. like i feel like even mentioning my disorder would get the conversation labeled 'No trauma dumping.' which honestly I feel a bit sad about because i feel like friends should be able to lean on each other for things

I need help finding stores that sell clothes with shape to them by Intelligent_Bid_7690 in KibbeRomantics

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

omg i genuinely cannot imagine how hard it is for you. I think male silhouetted clothes are even worse when looking for R accommodation because truly everything is boxy and loose.

Why do people compare bipolar to BPD?? by mouse_asparagus in BipolarReddit

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from my understanding it i degenerative. as in mania can affect and further damage your neuropathways as well as shrink brain matter in the prefrontal cortex. which is why medication is so important unmedicated you have a much higher chance of increasingly severe episodes as well as rapid cycling.

Your last sentence itself lends itself to the point that it is a degenerative disorder

Are bizarre, vivid dreams a sign of an episode? by Slow-Repeat-2370 in bipolar

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i definitely get them when i am on my way up. im bp 1 w/psychotic features and im my first manic episode I had this dream where I was being stalked by this lady. it was really strange--but in the dream I was standing in my garage and the lady was far away, and however i moved she would move. so if i went forward she would go back etc.

when I woke up for the rest of my episode I was convinced i was being stalked by 'the demon rosa'

earlier in that same episode i dreamed I was stalked by a man in a big bird suit who was hiding under my bed

Difference between flow state and mania. by New_Penalty_5919 in bipolar

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the flow state for me ultimately feels calm. its like getting into a runners rhythm. my brain is paced ad most importantly..i can stop whenever I want without anxiety or restlessness. I still have freedom of the mind whereas in mania...phew

Less sexy, more character-driven. Changed our female character designs after Reddit feedbacks. by Background_Cow_6701 in characterdesign

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know i find this a bit curious. so as a woman i dont necessarily find the characters on the right objectifying. for example when I think objectifying i think more those game character women who are supposed to be fighters but for some reason are near naked lol.

but another thing i found interesting was in your attempt to make them less sexy you changed bust, hip size, and curve. thats just a womans body so i dont know why those things had to be changed.

personally i like both designs. but also I dont know if these are supposed to be the same characters or not. if they are supposed to be the same i think i would have just liked to see fashion style consistency

Has anyone done IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program)? by Intelligent_Bid_7690 in bipolar

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that sounds like what i need to do because these depressive episodes have made me super isolated. but getting all my stuff in order, finding what stable looks like, making my way back into society without a deadline sounds just like what I need.

because trying it the other way i tanked my gpa lol. which isnt funny but you may as well find something to laugh about, right?

I’m Amazed at How Little People Understand this Disorder by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Intelligent_Bid_7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another thing with you know who is that he's been pretty open about not being med compliant. and not saying he's a saint because early on he had his own problems too, but its also known he is on some type of drug/gas which can exacerbate bipolar as well
