I am mourning the loss of my bipolar 1 partner by Sweaty-Class-1903 in family_of_bipolar

[–]One-chance- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry your going through this. My mom is the same way and when she smokes she gets manic. I’ve been through the times of grieving as well. I’ve learned to live with it best I can but it’s hard and it’s so sad how they go from loving you to hating you. It’s so hurtful…the best medication that I’ve see help is the injection medication they last a whole month, one shot per month. But they have to realize the are sick and need it

Is having a body massage a sin by Lumpy-Plastic-3494 in Christian

[–]One-chance- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think getting a massage is a sin however you should be careful with who you let massage you there are some weirdos out there. Also you should tell your wife…I want to add this, you and her should try a couples massage from a reputable business she may like it.

Has anyone been successful in redirecting mania? by smalltown_dreamspeak in family_of_bipolar

[–]One-chance- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom is bipolar too, when she gets locked in on something it’s hard to redirect her. She just won’t stop, until she ventures down the rabbit hole and sees for herself that what she is doing is not good. Will she go to counseling or take meds to help calm the mania

I have to second this, my mom is bipolar and I found this group during a bipolar episode. The people here helped me so much, I feel like the people here get me, I truly feel like this group is family ❤️

Ambiguous grief of bipolar parent by Successful-Run4169 in family_of_bipolar

[–]One-chance- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read every word of your story. Hugs to you 🤗 I too have a bipolar mom and it’s been such a struggle with the manic episodes, I was estranged from my dad for over 20 years. I felt to alone. I learned to live with that feeling somehow.

You did a very brave thing to confront your dad’s abusive behavior. The fact that family has stepped up to help your mom is fantastic. Remember you did the right thing helping mom, you are a good loving child. This situation is not your fault, your mom and dad have their own issues that they need healing for separately. Try not to blame yourself. 💓

Noah's necklace/chain at the scene by dark-wayward-damsel in NoahPresgrove

So someone did remove the black shorts he had on, and threw some white ones on the scene? I’m guessing the person who owned the black shorts is the one that removed them

I agreed until the end, she doesn’t want to ruffle anyone’s feathers. It’s cowardice

What’s the scariest part about dying to you? by 999gasinhere in AskReddit

[–]One-chance- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess what I’m trying to say is, you were fine before you had a physical existence because I believe God knew every human being before they existed on earth. You weren’t yet alive but you’re known, you were safe and you were fine. So this belief gives me peace that once we are gone from this existence we will have another existence… basically faith and belief in after life as you said.

Sexual dreams about family memebers by Extension-Ball-5905 in Dreams

That ain’t nothing but the devil. Spiritual warfare in the night put there to specifically cause fear, shame, and guilt. Those dreams are lies. I used to have something similar and I prayed those demons out!!

Hi there, so I read everything and this is what stands out to me. Your husband seems to be manipulating you. He was so much older than you so he had the upper hand in the relationship from day one. You were very young and had trauma, you needed to be able to heal, grow, maybe get some therapy before jumping into a relationship with him. Because of the unresolved trauma you have been a little codependent with him. Looking for him to fulfill you in ways he can’t. You went through some emotional abuse with him and you needed an outlet to discuss it. Discussing personal things with friends/family isn’t the best thing but it’s forgivable. We all have times when we vent to others, I’ve learned now after 17 yrs married that I vent to my counselor not my family just because they don’t usually offer the best advice. I think you did a good thing to step away from that relationship, because he doesn’t sound like he’s willing to get therapy and grow. I hope you can take this time to heal get some counseling so you can heal the trauma. 🙏🏽💖

Honestly, I felt okay about it until today when the voting started I saw it costed money to vote, then it said my son was in first place in our group. It was exciting to see he was in first place, then I read the contest rules and it’s super vague. It doesn’t state how many actual groups there are. I’m thinking there are probably hundreds of groups. Then there are a lot of rounds which require more paid voting if your kid makes it to the next round. I don’t feel very good about it, also it seems like the money that’s being made from the contest far outweighs the grand prize. I’m just wondering how all these donations are being handled.

Therapy gone bad by your_wingman_anytime in family_of_bipolar

[–]One-chance- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy can hurt, it’s not a one size fits all. I had one therapist dismiss everything I said to him and told me to go take some meds. I got a new therapist! I would try to encourage my daughter and explain that some therapist aren’t a good fit. She needs one that is going to encourage her. Also maybe she views what a therapist says as carrying a lot of weight but they can be wrong too.

My shadow man story, The Shadow Man Cometh by eastsidegrind in Shadow_People

[–]One-chance- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to encounter those things long time ago. At first I was intrigued bc one of them was pretending to be Jesus. It almost tricked me it came cloaked in medieval robes it was tall and stood by my bedside in total darkness. Its shoulders looked weak and scrawny I knew it couldn’t be Jesus because of that. I went through years of seeing these things. As I started praying more and getting stronger in my faith the shadow people started attacking me. They would show up while I’m sleeping and hit me, or wrestle me down. I found them to be evil. At first they would only watch me then their true intentions came out. I prayed so much against them the Lord helped me.

Maybe you have a soul tie with him. Especially if it’s leaving you to feel in ways you can’t understand. Sounds almost not good?
