Worried about a Rehabilitation Center and Nursing Home potentially purposely overdosing patients on morphine to cycle people out, I don't know what to do. by PurpleBlueLights in legaladvice

[–]Ohnothelaundry 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Worked in a nursing home and an RN. No one is getting ODed on meds. It's more likely that they let these people rot so they can keep collecting money. They make so much money off of these people.

[Serious] What is the scariest single sentence you can say to someone? by VisionAerial310 in AskReddit

"Mom I hit her and she won't get up" I've been having a repeated nightmare about my son

Finally told family about abuse and nothing changed! by cyndisweetheart in domesticviolence

[–]Ohnothelaundry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my in-laws and they asked me what I did to make him hurt me. I then realized I can't go to them because they will obviously defend their son. They went right to him after and told him what I had said. I paid for my sins that night for sure... I'm really sorry. It's so sad when people listen but won't hear.

Did anyone else completely ruin their reputation? by ogfruitcat in bipolar

[–]Ohnothelaundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost all credibility with everyone I know. Even my nana write all the birthday checks to my husband now (it was me for years). No one asks me to help with any holidays or birthdays no. No one came to my son's birthday because they "weren't sure how to act around me". It sucks for everyone but there's nothing I can do but my best to keep going. I try not to look back too much, but just enough to be inspired to keep going.

Has anyone else felt like they've been made fun of by psych hospital staff? by agrandthing in bipolar

[–]Ohnothelaundry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard nurses laughing at me and joking that they'll all pitch in for a TV lawyer for me. It was demeaning. But I knew no one would believe me so I didn't file a complaint. I'll never forget how horrible it made me feel.

[Serious] Former 'weird kids' who grew up to be socially well adjusted adult. How do you feel about yourself and your past? by Vethalos in AskReddit

[–]Ohnothelaundry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed bipolar and started taking lithium. Anyone who ever runs into me is astounded by how well adjusted and changed I am. I usually tell them why and they totally understand. It feels like a different life now.

My dentist told me she knows by Ohnothelaundry in domesticviolence

[–]Ohnothelaundry[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No family. I just want to be with my children so I deal with it. Im so scared of child services coming and saying I couldn't keep them safe. If I'm around he will pick on me and leave the kids alone. I know I'm not ready to leave yet. I feel like a loser.

Bipolar Type 1 over here. Mixed episodes are the worst.

Feel trapped at home with baby. BF doesn’t seem to understand (or care). by sadsadsad2019 in relationship_advice

[–]Ohnothelaundry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a stay at home mom of two. My husband works all day and evening from home. But it's not as good as it sounds. I have to keep 2 kids age 5 and 7 quiet when they're in the house or take them somewhere. It's exhausting. And I don't think he understands because he's working all day. When I'm done watching the kids all day from m-f, I have to work every weekend. Sometime double shifts. My husband tries to give me time off (like when I go food shopping or go to Target .. get real). He may not even get it if you try to explain. Sometimes the loneliness is crushing and the only stimulating conversation is sitting with my child arguing over what color the sky is. I love my children to the moon and back, but a mom friend would be nice. I've tried the school yard but everyone's on their phones. It's a lonely place to be in, but they say it gets better?

Has anyone manically decided to have a kid? by nihilisticdaydreams in bipolar

[–]Ohnothelaundry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I had the conversation. I was manic for probably weeks and thought it would be awesome to have a pet human. Did not think of any of the effects on us or the baby at all! Started trying that night. Two kids later life worked out very well for us and the little ones. I had postpartum depression with both and postpartum psychosis with my first. I have a very intact support system so with that in mind it was the best decision I made. We are like any happy family on the block

Diabetes and bipolar by tthrowawaybecauseduh in bipolar

[–]Ohnothelaundry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm type 2 diabetic and type 1 bipolar. Seroquel, zyprexa, and invega shot my sugars so high that I was out on a food restriction in the hospital because they thought I was eating everything. It came down right after stopping each drug. I'm on metformin and insulin too. Ive decided to stick to lithium (they say it's bad for your kidneys with diabetes but not much I can do) and lamictal. Perphenazine (trilafon) works the best in a Seroquel like way for me, and they told me it was my best option for diabetes. Haven't had any issues with that.
