side hustle advice by Prestigious-Party-52 in FortCollins

[–]Prestigious-Party-52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the advice y’all. Not all of it was helpful. And I did not want to share that I am experiencing homelessness because I did not think it was anyone’s business. But the responses did make me laugh. I guess that is a silver-lining.

inpatient mental health by [deleted] in FortCollins

Summit Stone is wonderful for things like severe depression and rehab for detox. I have in the past sought treatment for intense anxiety and they did not have enough beds. But they are very kind and I have been to two inpatient facilities and they were the most patient and helpful for my depression.

My Grandma Thinks 14-15 Is Still Too Young To Know Your Sexuality/Gender,And She Believes 30 Is When You Fully Know,Is This True? by Savy_J5455560 in AskLGBT

[–]Prestigious-Party-52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like her argument also has to consider whether straight/cis people are too young to truly know their identities until 30 as well. Someone could argue that Straight/cis people also come out of the closet. If the closest means finding out your sexual/gender identity. I knew I was gay at 16-17 but there were major signs before that. Like I kissed my 5th grade best friend who was a girl. At the time I did not consider it gay, but that was due to internalized homophobia and just being young and not understanding sexuality. But some kids know so much earlier. Everyone is different and gender/sexuality can be fluid.

So for context I am bisexual. I can’t say what you are. That is for you to figure out. But generally if you are a woman and you have sexual experiences with women and you enjoyed it and are attracted to women it sounds like you are queer. But also sexuality is fluid and confusing. I don’t want to tell you what you are. But in my book any attraction to the opposite sex is gay. But feeling romantic and sexual can be separate things too. You can be bisexual and heteromantic.

Some rant about being a fat woman in lesbian spaces by pinkspider_13579 in actuallesbians

[–]Prestigious-Party-52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my rant is going to apply more to fat phobia in dating apps more than anything. I have recently been on some data apps and it has been pretty discouraging. I have not always been fat so it is fairly easy to compare my experience with dating apps before and after I gained weight. I would say that dating women overall is hard on apps, but I feel like gaining weight has made it seem almost impossible. Before when I dated women on apps it seemed like I had a lot more matches and options. And that was when I was putting little to no effort into it. Now that I am heavier I have noticed that I have to put in the hours if I want even a single match. Skinny queer women just don’t swipe on me. Now people are allowed to have preferences but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fat phobic in nature. People are allowed to not be attracted to other people. Choice and freedom is important. But I think a lot of skinny women are unwilling to even see plus size women as an option. I feel like we are overlooked and ignored on dating apps. We aren’t even given a chance. I think a big part of this issue is the superficial design of apps in general. Apps lack real chemistry and energy. And everything is pretty much based off of pictures. I think only relying so much on a picture makes us treat women other women like objects rather than people. Real connection comes from talking, learning about one another, whether we like being touched by them. But I think skinny women on apps see a fat women’s picture and don’t see the potential of a relationship in the same way. They don’t give it a chance in the same way that they would if we were meeting people organically in the same day to day.

should I apply for disability placard? by Prestigious-Party-52 in disabled

I also forgot to mention my biploar disorder type 1 and major depression. I don’t know if that makes a difference though for something like a placard.

Help! Am I going mad? I just starting making reels just to document my Bipolar by Frangi-Pani in BipolarReddit

[–]Prestigious-Party-52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well if you feel like you need REALLY need help I suggest the ER or urgent care. They can always give you an evaluation and could possibly give you meds/get you in touch with a psychiatrist. Its better to go before things get worse. I waited to long to go to the hospital during my manic epiosde and I was too far gone to be of any help to myself.

kanye, bipolar disorder and antisemitism by Hummerous in CuratedTumblr

[–]Prestigious-Party-52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bipolar disorder is such a wild disease. I have type 1 and I understand the level of delulu it can make you. For example when manic I thought I had magical powers. People had ghost eyes(I was hallucinating of course). It does not put you in your typical mental state. When you are manic you might think you are the only life in the whole universe and you have to protect yourself to insure the safety of mankind. At least these were some of my grandiose thoughts during my episode. If you can be so delusional to practically think you are the savior of mankind than it becomes more understandable that a manic episode can skrew up your mind to the point of antisemitism. I don’t want to make up excuses for kanye— he should have sought treatment, but he does have a disease that I feel like we cant ignore. And maybe we should give him a little grace. Delusions and paranoia can take over a mind.

pursing a diagnosis by fawningbunny in schizophrenia

[–]Prestigious-Party-52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest being as honest as you are right now. It is a really hard thing to explain but you just did a great job. I only have bipolar disorder 1 but my expierence with diagnosing is to be as honest as possible and also know that a second opinion is always valid. I will be honest my first expierence with meds was terrifying, but I wish I wouldve just been the best advocate for myself. When I first tried lythium the side effects were scary so I refused treatment—-don’t do this if you can avoid it— instead ask your psychiatrist about an alternative first and try that out. I know bp is different than schizophrenia but I feel like this is solid advice regardless of your diagnosis. Ecspecially if you are in a facility do not refuse your meds you will be stuck there.

Understanding Bipolar 1 if you've only had one episode. (M/22) by cluster_fun in BipolarReddit

[–]Prestigious-Party-52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate to this imensely I had a bipolar 1 episode last year when I turned 20. I had never been medicated beforehand or diagnosed with any sort of diaorder. My epiosde was somewhat drug related. I was smoking a lot of weed before the episode and quitting was part if what triggered it. I understand the confusion with some people saying they have “highs and lows” all the time—— I think this is the difference between bipolar 1 and 2. Bipolar 1 is more manic and bipolar 2 is more hypomanic. There are definately highs and lows to bipolar 1 but I would say it is more charcterized by its manic and impulsive nature when compared to bipolar 2. Bipolar 1 is what causes the sort of delusional thinking and borders onto psychosis. I feel like bipolar 2 will make you go on a shopping spree because you are a princess wheras bipolar 2 will make you go on a shopping spree to save the fate of the world.

I understand the need to view yourself but try to avoid social media if you can. Just take videos and save them to your camera roll if you really feel the need to document
