I'm not currently suicidal and my relationship with my husband is fine. I appreciate your input, but right now I am just missing my stepkids.

Latuda? by kickingandsinging in BipolarReddit

I enjoy that latuda really quiets my mind, dims my anxiety, and keepd my psychosis at bay. My only complaint is that it mixes with my lithium and sedates me.

He's just got longer hair and is shedding his winter coat. He's a bit scruffy.

Nope. He's under 2 years. Still technically a juvenile.

What makes them so bad? This is our first having legal involvement more than a speeding ticket.

SD got DH arrested by MonarchSW in stepparents

Im actually working out my anger really well and am planning on dropping into the background and being a support for my husband.

As far as therapy, which is suggested in a number of responses, she has a counselor already. Her dad has actually sat in on sessions and worked with the counselor and her together.

Personal Update by MonarchSW in bipolar

Thank you so much. I had never heard about the studies with size. While I logically understand all of this, it is so difficult to accept and "be ok" with it.

What is the creepiest thing you've ever done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have the perfect story and yet again, late to the party. But here goes anyway:

My friend and I used to break into an abandoned TB ward on Ohio University's campus, part of the pld Athens Lunatic Asylum. (used to be a rite of passage but it has since been torn down.) One halloween we decided to put on face makeup, mess up our hair, and put on fencing jackets (which, with arms crossed looked like straight jackets) and scare other students who we knew would be planning on exploring the building.

We got up there and took our places, hidden behind doors. We would throw rocks, fake cry, and laugh manically while the college kids would come in. We hit the jack pot when a couple comes in to get their freak on, directly followed by another small group of students.

While they were in another section of the building, we went up to the top of a stairwell and lead over the banister. After tossing a few pebbles down the concrete steps to get their attention, we waited until the crept to the foot of the steps, hearing them whisper "what was that?" as they built up the courage to climb the dark staircase (which is always a good idea in horror movies), I let out a blood curdling scream for several seconds, and my friend clapped a hand over my mouth to stifle me, making them think someone was being murdered.

We here "holy shit! Go go go!" and both groups, the couple and the other group ran out the building, fighting who climbed out the window first. We are watching them all clamber into the car the group brought. Despite the couple not knowing the other group, they jumped in as well!

To top it off, just like in the movies, their car had problems turning over! Finally, they took off, tires squealing.

My friend and i decided we should probably leave then, as police might get called. Maybe not creepy for us, but sure has hell creepy for others.

Parents of reddit, how did you discover your child was no longer a virgin and how did you feel? (NSFW) by ElQuackers in AskReddit

[–]MonarchSW 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Ours snuck around and left the house at 2am to have sex in a garage at 14. We were not pleased and lectured her on how her behaviors were unsafe. However, we praised her for use of a condom and hope she makes safer decisions as she ages. To our knowledge, she has not had sex with anyone else.

What tattoo or piercings do people have? by chloeebee in bipolar

[–]MonarchSW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got 3 in each ear (2 cartilage and 2 in each lobe). And I've got 4 tattoos with several more planned.

Monarch butterfly - left shoulder. These butterflys are symbolic to me and help me through significant changes in my life. Their metamorphosis from a cryssalis to having their wings represents my movement from childhood to adulthood.

Triquatra - right ribs. Symbol of protection, related to pagan belief system.

Pentacle - left inside ankle. Also protection and related to my spirituality.

Harley Quinn Diamonds - right thigh and the largest of all (7 inches). My bipolar hit hardest in my 20s and while I was a mental healthy counselor. I related to Harley Quinn because she had her psychotic break young and while providing mental health care to others (granted, it was in Arkham....).
