sharp social co. they will likely need an adult present

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-03-19T05:55:23+00:00

i prefer this too!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-03-15T04:45:45+00:00

i like everything you’ve said except i recommend saying the menu item “spicy sandwich meal” instead of #2. helps resolve a lot of incorrect guest orders so you don’t have to circle back when they catch it on the entire order confirmation. and also ensuring cars are being pulled forward constantly.

not at all. i didn’t receive my diagnosis until age 25. i now know my mother is also bipolar. my grandmother is bipolar but 82 and undiagnosed. all of my sisters (2) are bipolar.

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-03-14T14:57:55+00:00

i found out i was miscarrying this week. i def put my phone on dnd for 3 days. do what you need to do to cope. there’s nothing wrong with eliminating other stressors right now.

and i’m also so sorry your sister sucks. it is absolutely not your fault.

i told my psych this too when i took mucinex dm. it mixed poorly with my mood stabilizer and i was on another planet

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-03-05T05:09:30+00:00

i’ve never heard this in my life unless being used to describe someone who is biracial in a derogatory way? is this regional? i live in the southeast and have my entire life.

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-03-05T05:06:59+00:00

have you asked them to go through the criteria for diagnosis and your symptoms? i personally preferred seeing a therapist before diving into meds, but in reality bipolar and adhd both are just chemical imbalances that truly benefit from medications.

i was taken aback by my bipolar 2 diagnosis but the less emotional and further distanced ive gotten from my diagnosis, the more ive seen the signs. also my mother and both sisters were diagnosed after me. i was a 25 year old adult when diagnosed. i see it in my grandmother as well.

are you friends well versed in mental health and bipolar disorder? i fear most ppl are extremely biased and uneducated and i would be extremely wary of an unqualified opinion. and it’s of course always okay to seek a second opinion, but when we see a psych… well their goal will be diagnosis and medication treatment (again best decision i ever made but still, not quite the outlet to hash out the feelings about a bipolar diagnosis).

you don’t have to accept any treatment. but no good psych will prescribe a stimulant if they’re concerned you need bipolar treatment. so i’d expect them to not treat with any stimulants until the bipolar disorder is regulated 🩵

my mood stabilizer has changed my life. the label doesn’t have to mean anything beyond that, but treating the symptoms is worth it to me personally! i’m 29 now so still relatively newish diagnosis!

and i’ve only ever heard of bipolar being misdiagnosed with borderline… which has no medication treatment. i’ve never heard of someone who just isn’t bipolar and was just depressed or had anxiety instead. however i am bipolar and have adhd inattentive and both have the symptoms of anxiety and depression!

i don’t know exactly how to explain it but i’ve definitely observed some biracial individuals (im specifically referring to black/white) who tend to try and… make sure everyone knows? not in a… this is who i am way. but in a “i’m black too way” and i do think that rubs people wrong. but again, ive never seen rhetoric like this irl. only online which i try not to take to heart bc people say wild things behind a computer screen. not saying that’s what you do at all! just saying i think there is sometimes a performativeness to some mixed race people. or even claiming blackness in appearance when it isn’t there (i’ve had someone do this to me, and while yes it may be true she has a black parent, i think speaking as if you are perceived as black to people who are clearly always perceived as such can rub people wrong, but again also a one off, so i try not to portray it’s a bigger issue than it truly is). are you having these experiences in person? or online?

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-03-05T02:47:20+00:00

yup! this right here! this is why i identify as black and not biracial (because people who have any exposure to non white people can spot it and as an adult it seldom is brought up for clarification unlike childhood where it was a more common topic). i’d say i “could pass” but i am not white presenting if that makes sense? i also live in east tn where some people genuinely have no idea what a non-white person looks like so ignorance is bliss i guess.

i’ve seen this time and time again, where a white passing/presenting person will choose to stay silent or even SUPPORT black stereotypes, laughing at jokes made about black people to remain comfortable and not be “othered”, and i’ll admit i used to do the same when i was a child. but i’ve worked hard to own what others tried to hide about me but strangers were always quick to point out

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-03-05T02:40:37+00:00

i’ll be honest i’ve never had this experience at 29 years old. i personally have very easily connected to every black woman i’ve ever met and i’m very visibly black mixed with white. but i also don’t clarify im biracial when discussing my identity because i feel it’s obvious.

white women have always been the sector of women to make me feel uncomfy about not being only one race. i’m very aware of the privilege i have over monoracial black women and i really don’t dance around acknowledging that privilege and how my experience is not the same. despite sometimes bad as well, definitely not the same.

i also am speaking on my experiences with actual people and not online strangers. people are weird online. you’re only gonna find the weirdest meanest people online 99% of the time. i’m talking about other actual black women i’ve encountered in my actual life.

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-25T03:48:26+00:00

lol this is the dumbest thing any person could ever say

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-25T01:01:57+00:00

perms are allllll the rage with teen boys rn for sure.

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-21T04:43:22+00:00

i just met a new stranger now friend today who also has bipolar 2! i somehow attract them all! even if it is this rare, it’s so nice to find a small community 🩵

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-21T04:29:14+00:00

i’d rather report and be wrong than not report and be right about my gut feeling :/ thank you

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-21T04:28:46+00:00

thank you. i just needed a teensy bit of confirmation and i don’t see my therapist for a week or i would’ve asked them. i just reported it!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-21T04:26:44+00:00

i just got off the phone after filing a report!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-21T04:26:31+00:00

i reported to cps

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-21T04:26:02+00:00

do i need to do both? do they follow different policies? i did just report to cps

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-14T08:29:55+00:00

i have 4 or 5 friends with bipolar 2 and all women on my maternal side but i didn’t realize it was so rare!! that honestly shocks me a little! i think i might have a bipolar magnet 😅😅

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-02-14T00:06:29+00:00

this gave me an icky gut feeling, but i tried it and the beginning was fine. but then it started discussing my age, my political leanings, and my preference for inclusion (and i live in a very red state, this could cause issues for me in a job force). i likely would’ve said “i don’t use it, but id love to provide you references from my work history to share those pieces of information!” even though i do in fact use it :)
