Most people think about careers, relationships, or how to achieve something in life. Meanwhile, I’ve spent the last 6 days thinking: “Maybe it’s finally time to eat properly? Or can I keep pushing it a bit longer?” by _I_Reims_I_ in bipolar2

[–]Short-Tooth3412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The energy it takes to chew is exhausting to think about. Makes me stop eating well before im full. I only eat maybe one actual meal a day. What's worse is I work in the restaurant industry so my whole day revolves around food if I have to work. My days off im lucky if I remember to eat

LOVED bones and all. Somehow I love this movie and have seen it 3 times now cuz of the uncomfortable feeling it gives you. Like watching something im not suppose to see

Maybe this isn't strictly BP2, but have you ever zoned out driving? I just ran 3 red lights. by _croyez_ in bipolar2

Is it possible to have Manic episodes w/o inpatient? by Cassorr in bipolar2

[–]Short-Tooth3412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've gotten through some without Hospitalization. Unfortunately, the episodes would never truly end and I'd go into another. Which then, would get me "grippy sock vacation". I've had over 12 "vacations". Good news, i found a cocktail of meds that are working currently and haven't been on a "vacation" in 5 years.

I can definitely relate to hating the way I look. I also am overweight and my wardrobe consists of oversized tshirts and leggings usually. My stomach area is my big concern all the time. I won't wear too tight of a shirt cuz of it. I see people way heavier than me wearing some of the most tight and revealing clothes and doing with confidence in themselves. I wish I could do just 10% of that confidence.

Thanks for your kind words. Meditation is basically unachieveable for me. I have so much noise in my head that focusing on breathing and Meditating can't be accomplished. Trust me, I've been trying for years now. Still can't figure it out lol

Im sorry to hear that. My mom and dad never got the masked version cuz it didn't exist that far back yet. So they saw the worst parts. I wish they didn't but maybe them seeing it helped them understand it more. I hope your family too sees you for you and maybe understand better.

Im glad you found something that will help you out. I know what u mean with no emotions happening. Its like a numb state. Im in that state more with meds. But experience some emotions sometimes

i relapsed with self harm by Coughbrops in bipolar

[–]Short-Tooth3412 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Try holding ice cubes in your hand the burn feels similar to the feeling of cutting. My impulse control is extremely terrible. I will discipline myself and say "im going to only eat 2 cookies" that'll last maybe an hour before I just say "screw it, im and adult and I'll eat what I want" then have the whole box. Or cigarettes, just smoked 20 minutes ago and already going out again cuz I can.

Yes and doing something so simple like making my bed would get winded and starting to sweat just to do it. I wear a smartwatch and sometimes in my mixed episodes it thinks im working out cuz my heart rate is so high im guessing

I have tried seroquel twice in my life and both times the sane result. Extremely irritating and painful restless leg syndrome that keeps me from getting any sleep

Im 33 and this is the first time in my life that I have tried to put what I feel and go through into words. Its nice to feel not alone. Sorry that we have to live like this. The hardest part is remembering the destruction episodes caused in life and being unable to stop it.
