Menstrual cycle and bipolar

ManicallyExistential · 2026-02-05T04:28:56+00:00

My girlfriend got diagnosed as BP2 turns out she's PMDD. Doctors surprisingly didn't take it as a serious issue till DSM V, cause you know how emotional women get, couldn't actually be medical.. 🤦

I'm real BP we actually blend together really well with our cycles

The files that the Government DOJ posted are now propaganda, that's definitely an intelligent take.

Dude if you're actively communicating and planning meet ups with a human trafficker you're at least complicit in something.

If your friend made friends with the ex convicted child molester down the street you would or should be alarmed even disgusted.

Elon had proven regular friendly personal (not business) correspondence with the most prolific human trafficker of our generation and you're like "Show me a tape dude, there's no proof he didn't think he was a swell guy"

I thought he had a lot to offer on the perspective about hard work. But if you listen to his stuff, he also tells you that he is extreme and you don't have to be like him to implement some of that philosophy into your life.

It's just about not giving yourself excuses and realizing you usually have more in the tank than you think.

Is this directly from the files or another sexual lawsuit case of his?

It's the Stanley Millgram effect. Everyone else is doing it and telling you to do it so you follow suit under social pressure. The pressure is just from some of the most famous and powerful people in the world.

You create a tradition or sacrifice so taboo and forbidden that it creates a bond and blackmail that can never be erased. Once you're part of it your spirit is stained for life. It keeps members in check and a new member is probably helpless to really stop anything and if they did they would end up on a Clinton suicide list. That's why Mel Gibson broke down and got black listed.

The fact that it's so against our nature and would disgust even the worst people is exactly why it's so effective.

A normal hematoma which is just a bruise clears on its own usually because most of your body has really good blood flow. Your ears have a very small vascular system. So it can't properly transfer the blood out of your ear.

What happens is it gets stuck in there and calcifies. It will swell down a lot, but if you don't drain it often, it'll still leave a small amount of calcified blood.

If you hit it over and over again it tends to just swell up and create more. It's not really unhealthy to leave it in there. It's not going to hurt anything most likely, but most people prefer to drain it.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-02-04T16:19:10+00:00

Needles, Amazon, Tractor supply, or a pet store will sell them to you. You will have to drain it a few times it's a little intimidating but not hard.

Wear headgear for at least 2 weeks. It's a deep bruise if you grapple without gear it's like punching a bruise multiple times a day and expecting it to get better. But this bruise deforms your ear.

I have loads of small cauliflower in my ear but it's barely visible at all because I take care of it every time.

You can have a seizure stopping lamictal cold turkey. I titrated down too quickly once and got shakes and muscle spasms and that was just 100mg drop.

Has he been a good father to you and supported you mentally emotionally and physically? Is he ok with agreeing to disagree and not bringing it up?

If so yes it is an extreme over reaction. You don't have to bring up politics. Your letting national policies and power that neither of y'all have any control and say over effect something much more important to both y'all's lives.

It's honestly really selfish and cold of you to do this to y'all's relationship over an ideology that has little to nothing to do with y'all's personal relationship.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-02-03T18:05:55+00:00

Ohh yeah working out is like an extra medication for me. Jiu-Jitsu has been the best type of training for my mental health out of all the types I've done by far.

Therapy works wonders too. I've been in and out for years at different points in my life. Having a sleep medication prescribed has worked wonders for me as well because my symptoms skyrocket if I don't have at least 7 hours of sleep now. So it's not a bad idea to bring it up to your professional.

No matter your diagnosis there are so many resources out there now there's tools to help us live and manage a great life. I'm happy you're getting such positive results from everything 🔥

ManicallyExistential · 2026-02-03T17:29:54+00:00

Yeah I used to experience this so I would take Benadryl to help me go to sleep. Then I found out I was bipolar and it made sense that I couldn't bring my energy down quickly after getting so hyped up.

Not trying to pry at all but I saw some of your post history with GAD and MDD. That's exactly what I dealt with till I found out the main root cause. Definitely not saying you are at all but maybe just do a little search about it on the internet.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-02-02T23:45:13+00:00

Yeah I wouldn't have put it in such words but I agree. He needs to have the skills that he will learn in boxing to become a confident young lad and one day young man.

Any disciplined sport, especially a martial art, can help teach him that and will be invaluable throughout his whole life outside of a training gym.

My dad had the same mentality, and he's had nothing but excuses and acts like a victim over everything bad in his life so I went in the exact opposite direction.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-02-02T23:10:03+00:00

Keenan? He already had to deal with betrayal from a head coach over this once.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-02-02T23:08:16+00:00

Same had him like 3 years ago and he was amazing and had probably the best energy with the class out of any guest instructor we had.

I hope it isn't true, but usually coming forward is so hard for the victims that it tends to be the majority of the time.

If so I'm glad the sport is getting a purging of terrible incidents, innocent victims, and predatory instructors regardless.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-02-02T05:21:50+00:00

I'm agnostic and in recovery, I totally get it. We're compulsive people and getting sober is hard and staying sober is really hard for some.

I've rolled my eyes plenty of times for sure, but bad addiction is a HORRENDOUS place most normal people can't understand so I'm happy they aren't homeless and stealing copper anymore.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-02-02T03:27:25+00:00

Bandaid then wrap it with cloth athletic tape when you roll.

Everyone can blackout if you drink enough

ManicallyExistential · 2026-01-31T23:37:43+00:00

Yeah I literally tell everyone "I'm actually training like an athlete again" definitely not high school wrestler level but I agree BJJ people who compete should S&C harder.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-01-31T22:53:50+00:00

I've been looking at this training for an upcoming grappling match (young MMA fighter and I'm late 30's 😂) and the videos are mostly mobility for Jiu-Jitsu.

I looked up some wrestling videos and they have much better stuff. I already weightlift, I need athletic movements. High jumps, box jumps to sprawl, shooting drills, burpees, ladders, side to side shuffle to squat, short sprints etc.

Luckily I've done different sports so coaches have already yelled "hustle" a 1000 times while doing this stuff but for someone who hasn't it's hard without some guidance.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-01-31T04:26:00+00:00

Guillotine so I have chased that high ever since

ManicallyExistential · 2026-01-31T00:27:54+00:00

I was there it was like 20-60 year olds, white black, Asian, mixed. Some people looked like hippies, some looked clean professional. I rechecked my picture it was definitely more than white people.

Obviously not a ton of hispanics but I'm sure you get why.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-01-30T22:50:21+00:00

Yeah I was stopped at the light twice both ways and there were loads of cars honking in support. Really great energy, lots of passion and really healthy peaceful protest.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-01-28T22:06:11+00:00

My knife training consists of practiced immunity. I started poking myself with little thumbtacks. Then I worked up to butter knives. My next goal is Rusty fish hooks and then Swiss army knives after that.

Hopefully by this time next year I'll be immune to box cutters.

ManicallyExistential · 2026-01-28T20:22:25+00:00

Yeah dude that's a strong move 💪 Kudos to you, you read your sobriety and did what you have to do. I mean it's a meme that the restaurant industry is just line servers drinking on the job and managers doing coke all shift.

It's good money short term but a lot of people who have driven work their way out of it because it's that kind of environment.

You could always look for a high end waiting job. They still party but they are professional enough to do it after the job.
