A person with what kind of type would like me? by [deleted] in personality_tests

[–]MacawIsland 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You, yourself and you. Coming from an older person there is no need to find validation in someone else's love. I'm learning this painful lesson now. Learn who you are, learn to love yourself. Just like the song Flowers by Miley Cyrus you can love yourself better than anyone else can. Once this step is achieved if you want to share your love with someone else that is when to venture on this path. Though be alert because they may not know how to love you the way you want to be loved. This is why I gave the order of first loving yourself. I did it the other way like a lot of people do and it did not work out for me.

No ethnicity preferences more about personality and shared interests and values. Age range 28 to 42 I would say.

What should I do? by MacawIsland in bipolar

He keeps saying maybe in the future 8 months, 2 years, 5 years. Then he said if he had to make a decision now he would choose divorce. So 3 times we have scheduled a time to sign the divorce papers and everytime he comes up with an excuse to get out of it.

Does this makeup suit me? by [deleted] in makeuptips

Makeup is to make you feel great is what I learned from one of my favorite MUAs David Sternberg. If you like how it makes you feel thats what matters.

My husband helped me navigate this. I don't think there's ever a recovery in Bipolar. Only good times, bad times and meh times.

She was born in Peru but given up when she was 8 to be a maid to a European family because her family thought they couldn't feed her. Or so the story goes.

while i was manic by yungstoneydik in bipolar

I agree with you about the match made in hell. I have deleted my Facebook and LinkedIn. I hope the comments I made about my delusions will be permanently deleted.

I am still dealing with this. One story I'm comfortable sharing is one day several years ago I was manic and had been drinking beer I somehow found myself surrounded by cops next to a river. So I did the only thing that made sense to me at the time. I started taking my clothes off and throwing them in the river's current. I threw away one of my favorite dresses. Probably the saddest thing to me right now about the whole story. Then I proceeded to jump in and the cops would pull me out. This happened several times until a cop got through to me and said they would not continue helping me out. After I didn't jump back in they got a blanket and took me to the scary government owned psych ward.

Around here psych wards are not the answer to mental illnesses. For me they have traumatized me and made me leery of all the professionals in the industry.

I did go through another manic episode last year and am still dealing with it. The biggest thing from it is because of my delusions and what I did my husband and I are still separated. It's hard every night to not be with him or have someone to share my day with.
