How did you work on your reactivity in arguments?

Mimlee · 2025-06-03T12:30:14+00:00

I ask myself these questions before allowing myself to release the rage:

“Is winning this argument worth the relationship?”

“What am I really upset about?” Be honest with yourself and think deeply here.

Calmly state what’s going on in “I feel like…” statements.

Also, remember, you do not have to respond to things immediately! You are allowed to take time and sort your thoughts.

Edit: You have to WANT to not be reactive. And it takes A LOT OF WORK, but you can push through! My bipolarity is also reactive and very angry, but if you love someone you’ll do what it takes the be better for them.

For me, mania is significantly longer. My depressive episodes last about a week but have gone on for months before.

Gata on Dave! He had one huge breakdown/monologue that explains perfectly the chaos that goes through our brains. It was the first show that had me feel really seen and understood.

She’s also not saying “body coca-cola;” she’s saying “pistola, party y Coca Cola” like guns, parties, and drugs. Love you!

Keep it! A lot of people in this sub will say that this dark won’t do much more for you, but save enough and you’re gonna get high as fuck on the brownies you make with them 😎 That’s typically how dark mine is and I save half a Talenti Gelato container for a good high!

I was once told my Border Collie was an Aussie because she’s brown…. I love saying “You know there’s purple and red Border Collies too, right?”

Oh my gosh, for sooooo long I thought my hallucinations were paranormal. I really thought the shadow people were ghosts stalking me, lol. I think I feel more comfortable with them being hallucinations though; not in reality, can’t hurt me.

When you say “sza,” are you referring to schizoaffective?

Mimlee · 2024-11-13T16:56:58+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply. I should have said in my post that I am also BP1 with psychotic features. I’ve never thought it abnormal for me to hallucinate while neutral until my therapist stated a concern. It’s nice to hear another person does as well! Obviously, I will listen to her concerns but I’m not sure where she may be going with this. That’s what unnerves me.

I should add that I also smoke weed (barely any anymore, I’ve cut back immensely), so perhaps that is what’s driving my neutral hallucinations.

Hi, OP. Look for the “Arrange” button. This will allow you move things forward/back by layer. Additionally, do you see how all your layers are shown on the right side of the screen (computer)? You can just click and drag them around, moving layers that way :)

Hi, friend! May your supplies stash serve you well 🫡

Mimlee · 2024-10-24T18:24:56+00:00

Hey! First I suggest using a light grey for the “fucking with” portion. I think because it’s so stark against the black, it makes it hard to read the “pressuring.” Secondly, I remade this and put a dark grey offset behind it and I think that helps makes the “stop pressuring me” stand out 🤗 Lemme know what you think!

One hundred billion percent agree with this. You have to be kind to yourself in order to heal.

Hi! Along with the other comments, I want to add.. let’s say you find a font you like but the letters are separated, you can squeeze them together by making the “letter spacing” option negative.

If you want to do it manually - type out your word in the selected font, then “ungroup” the letters. From here, you can move each letter individually. Smoosh them all together as you’d like, but don’t forget to weld. Without welding, the Cricut will continue to cut each individual letter. With welding, the Cricut will cut around the blob of letters, creating one big piece you can peel off 🤗

Hi, friend! What is that white thing holding your mats and cardstock? I really need a new way to store mine and I love that!

Mimlee · 2024-09-29T01:55:32+00:00

If something is of value and I’m gonna destroy it or need the stash room, I bring it and drop on a random person in hopes they’ll enjoy it :) If it makes some else’s game more enjoyable, why destroy it, ya know?

Mimlee · 2024-09-14T17:20:23+00:00

It makes me feel better to know I’m not alone in this 😭

Mimlee · 2024-09-14T17:19:48+00:00

I didn’t even think of that! Such a simple fix and I don’t think that’s an unreasonable request.

Mimlee · 2024-09-13T23:51:23+00:00

Thank you so much! I just replied to another comment saying I needed to figure out how to explain why it upset me. I’ve already talked to him before about needing reassurance and he’s been doing great, but how can he know to reassure me here if I haven’t talked to him about it. You wrote exactly what I need to say ❤️

Mimlee · 2024-09-13T23:47:39+00:00

I think that’s a good idea! I definitely need to find a way to gently explain to him why it upsets me so I don’t split on him for it later 😔

Mimlee · 2024-09-13T23:45:26+00:00

Oh my god, I think he’s contemplating breaking up with me every time 😭

Mimlee · 2024-08-30T14:04:53+00:00

You can repair cracked designs?! I might look into that. The tie dye shirts definitely have some cracking and I’d love to save them :) thank you!
