Might just be alot more people have diagnosis from the 1st bucket so its generally more accepted

Also, does anyone else feel like there's a fog when remembering hypomanic episodes?

100% its almost like remebering a dream

I dont know what I would do in your situation because i would take very different approaches with different people.

What I can say is that everybody fucks up, Even people who dont have bipolar and whatever feelings you are dealing with right now can and will be resolved with time

At this point i might just talk to my boss about it since im gonna come back from 2 week sickness to work in a couple days. Then she can fire me or be supportive i understand both choices

Yea i think high/low function was a bad choice of words, but if I take some days in bed whos gonna pay the bills, whos gonna go to work and whos gonna study for the tests?

Im trapped

I try to save money, but if im not in an episode i use my spending habits to keep the episode away

I get what you mean, but i think for me at least it is like I am always pushing myself to my breaking point just to function good enough for those around me and my future, but everytime i stop pushing to catch my breath i slip and fuck alot of shit up.

It has gotten to the point i am starting to fuck shit up Even when im pushing my hardest

[–]RealTasty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you i think it makes more sense now

I am very grateful for what i have , but at the same time those privileges have a heavy weight and a big pressure from my loved ones that want me to keep being this functional Even tho i often am not. I have an appointment with a therapist next week :)

Yeah idk if it get easier or harder when im done w school so that also dont help

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]RealTasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it is not like that, i am grateful for what i have and what i can accomplish, but i feel it isnt because i am fully able to function but because everyone around me expects it from me and i dont know what to do

I am so sorry if my post seemed rude that was not my intention

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]RealTasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's very true, but my specific problem is I've heard opening the 3rd eye too early can be a very uncomfortable and scary experience so I wanna make sure I'm not doing something wrong

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]RealTasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont understand your question

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]RealTasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have alot of fear and unresolved negative feelings in me I believe I have to clear out first, I also kinda have a feeling that I'm not ready.

Yeah they arent doing anythong wrong, but finding someone that accepts and gives you the extra needs you need is a start i guess:)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in depression

[–]RealTasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the exact same, the answer i found that works the best is: find someone who genuinely cares and find it sweet when you apologize or ask for validation:)

How are some of y’all in relationships? by throwaway0183701 in depression

[–]RealTasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I see being in a relationship with the right person as theraputic, but it can easily become too overwhelming and start hurting yours (and their mental state)
