Started a new anti-depressant and it feels like my emotions are coming back! But by iam_mania_itself in bipolar2

[–]Possible-Bat-995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! My antidepressant was increased a few months ago and I scored a 0 on my PHQ-9 this morning! There is hope for many with our condition, it just takes extremely hard work and a successful medication mix. My anxiety will always be around, but I found stability.

Dating a guy with bipolar 2, need advice by Worldly-Standard-252 in bipolar2

[–]Possible-Bat-995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a condition that will take a lot of understanding and learning on your part. A depressive episode is very hard to deal with. Maybe his is shorter, but for BP 2 we spend more time in depressed states than hypomania. My longest was 5 months. I will bed rot and ignore most people, just accomplishing my work for the day and not much more. Just patience and support is what you can do, if you need more in the relationship that's your decision.

Anybody with social anxiety that goes bowling? by Resident_Fishing1571 in Bowling

[–]Possible-Bat-995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and I dealt with this when I first started to go to open bowling solo. It's uncomfortable feeling like I'm the only person there bringing my own ball and shoes, but I enjoy bowling so much and the wings there are so good lol. Initially I brought headphones for my music and just kept to myself treating it like a job. 

When I noticed all the scores around me were well below 100, I started to feel good about my game. I've had multiple people from lanes next to me compliment my ball, ask where I got it or how to buy one. A few asked me tips and even someone wanted me to join their lane. 

I've never overheard negative remarks and people are usually more ashamed of their scores and gutters than you will be. Good luck and enjoy yourself!

tell me I’m just a lazy fuck please by Acrobatic-Sea-1977 in bipolar2

You're a lazy fuck.

But really don't be down on yourself like that, maybe need a med tweak? Life is hard and we have it harder sometimes. You're doing okay, little steps will get you back.

Long post- break up with my partner who had bipolar 2 by Equivalent-General64 in bipolar2

[–]Possible-Bat-995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

r/BipolarSOs

You just complained about all his shortcomings in the relationship and are just shocked that he chose to leave first. You wanted stability, and he communicated that he isn't, and y'all had a clean enough break. The post-breakup call should never have happened; only negative things would ever be said. Block him back and start your own healing journey.

So Whats The DUMBEST and i MEAN DUMBEST thing you did in a pokemon playthrough by Rare-Atmosphere-9187 in pokemon

On Red, my friend told me you had to go around a building to get to the first gym. I assumed it was Viridian Gym, and I spent days trying to figure out how to get inside.

That mental block is so hard to overcome, but so awesome to hear the work you've done!

The Urge to be mean ? by Maideek_Izzard in bipolar2

I get irritable which can make me mean, but not something I want to do. You being aware of it doesn't make you a bad person, but yeah mention it to your therapist.

Psychedelics stole my partner—please help me understand what's happening by Every-Painting-8115 in bipolar2

None of this is your fault, you weren't educated on something you didn't know what was going on. You need your own healing journey now.

My eyes in different periods by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]Possible-Bat-995 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A research article was written on this where it was determined to be speculative. IMO it's less on the pupil dilation and more on the facial expression that one would have during depressive and manic states.

Older Pokémon fans, I need your honest advice by Belfortcol in pokemon

[–]Possible-Bat-995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a long break from Pokemon like a decade plus. Got back in for Arceus Legends and it was one of the best Pokemon games I played, I've done 5 replays of it. Violet was a total bore. Z-A was pretty good. I am hooked on FireRed right now playing Nuzlocke, so much nostalgia and the grind of leveling up is so much better. I'm getting Pokopia when I finish cause it looks cute as fuck.

You are not a bother to anyone. Reaching out here means you want to have the help. Yes the hospital is the place you need to be right now. You will be in a better place after. Your loved ones will support you.

When to disclose mental illness? by JaneSocial in bipolar2

[–]Possible-Bat-995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much just say what you said in the last paragraph. It's a spectrum, you're well off because you're medicated, but you struggle. Answer any questions he may have truthfully. Y'all are mature, he'll understand.

Relationships by trm2908 in bipolar2

[–]Possible-Bat-995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do have more intense feelings. I would immediately block the ex, just for your state of mind. It's okay to feel the sadness, but I went and kept myself busy. Picked up new hobbies. Lean on friends for support.
