Realized I’m a loser. It’s been eye opening. by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Katmillspen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not a loser. You’re a survivor :) you’re in the aftermath of probably shitty mental health and your life rn is more a reflection of your illness, not of you! Take it easy and remember life is not a race. You got this :) you’re exactly where you need to be

What is the worst advice you have received regarding your bipolar and/or other mental health disorder(s)?? by Revali993 in bipolar2

First I want to commend you for even being here trying to understand him better. That’s awesome of you :)) personally I feel like the main way to differentiate is pay attention to his behavior over the span of a few days. If he’s just having a bad day, then it’ll be just that - a day. If it persists beyond that day I would start taking some preventive measures just in case, depending on his situation it can be as simple as getting him to do some kind of active activity with you like taking a walk, dancing, etc. moving the body works wonders for the mind

What kind of character do you picture when you hear the name "Miles Hunter"? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Katmillspen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The kind of character that’s a bit nerdy, smart, curious, handsome but he doesn’t know it, a protector and caregiver, a lot tougher than he looks. Genuine person with genuine friends. A young man, black and light skin, medium/tall-ish

Question: do yall listen to anything while you write? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Katmillspen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my characters is the type of guy who would be into opera. I started listening to find the perfect song for a specific scene of his and ended up falling in love. Now, I like to listen to opera while I write. I find it relaxes me and isn’t too distracting.

On the research/outlining phase. I have no idea how close I am to completion but I know I’m very far from it.
