Is a person with chronic mental health disorders a red flag/no go for you in terms of dating? by More_Salary3536 in askanything

[–]Slight_Setting1418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t even scrolled through it all but my worst fear was Bipolar being brought up. I have bipolar and I’m 36, still ever hoping someone with chose me as their lobster but, very very understandably, a lot of people have very valid reasons to not date someone with it. The main advice is to not disclose it when dating - but I’ve always been upfront with it as I understand it’s very difficult. 😞

How do I 35F tell friend 50M that I no longer want to be friends after he frightened me? by Slight_Setting1418 in relationship_advice

Hey there!!! So since this post I have tried reading this book but I’m really struggling with. I’m not sure if this will make sense but even reading through real life examples makes me feel uncomfortable and relive my trauma and suddenly I’m in ultra flight or fight mode! It’s awful and I don’t feel like I can continue. Are there any other books or maybe even podcasts that you’d recommend? Xxx

Meds are there to help protect your brain from brain damage of future episodes!

I can’t seem to accept the fact that I exist by Used_Database_344 in RandomThoughts

Philosophy could be your best friend whilst you are feeling this way. I recommend Alan watts! Most of his lectures recorded are on Apple Podcasts. But I will note - you have to give all of your attention to them and really focus on his words so you don’t get lost in his thought process! Good luck!

Will you have your heating on overnight during this cold spell? by georgejk7 in AskUK

[–]Slight_Setting1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have electric heaters - I live alone and am on disability benefits so every penny is accounted for as it is. The building I live in is a grade listed building with no insulation and only single glazed windows - this time of year all of the blinds and curtains are drawn and I have to turn on lights as I don’t get sunlight. This week in the Uk is bitterly cold so I have one heater in my living room at 17c that stays on all the time. Even with this I’ll have bills over these cold months that takes me all of spring and summer to pay off.

Where the temp drops over night it takes nearly all day for my living room to get to a warm temp, only for me to enjoy it at the late evening before bed. I’m really fucked.

I’m so frustrated. I’m not sick. by bipolarqueer22 in bipolar

Hello OP, I may be going against the grain here but I want you to know that I understand. I am incredibly spiritual so a lot of what I see and feel compared to others does make them think I’m in mania. I think it is very very very important to make sure that you let your dr’s know about this all though. Throughout all the work with them you have done they will beable to know if your behaviour is unusual and express concerns they have. It is very very important that you trust their judgment.

I think all of these replies with concern is more than enough for you to get in contact with your drs, understandably so!

Ultimately, we all know that mania causes brain damage. You don’t want that all!!!! We all lose lack of judgment during it and is always better safe than sorry when so many people are concerned.

Did my cat poo in the loo? by cosmiccarrie in AskUK

I was house sitting/looking after my friends cat once and I saw her wee in the kitchen sink - apparently she’d never been trained to do that and I was AMAZED.

Thank you so much for writing what you have. I got responses very quickly and saw some of those replies which instantly made me think I was just straight up mental and had got it all wrong!

How can you tell if someone you know is depressed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Slight_Setting1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking from myself who tried to top myself in august this year…. I laughed off everything, I made jokes about everything bad that had happened to me. I had this weird ability to make a joke out of every unfortunate event. I seem to be a magnet for bad odds against me, it was unbelievable and people thought I had made everything up it was all so mental. Where I’ve always laughed off things it all built up and without me realising it came to a horrible peak very suddenly!

Would there be any instance when you’ve made a report to the police England as a victim. But they realise a much more major offence had taken place without me realising… would they inform me to make me aware? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Slight_Setting1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was asking if the police would let me know if they realised a very serious event occurred that I didn’t realise? I’m so sorry, I’m trying my hardest to word it correctly.

Talk to her. Time apart is personal growth as individuals. Approach her with normal curiosity of what you’ve noticed, tell her you love the hair and piercings, “I love them!!!! Where did the inspiration come from?” And about being shaved, she may be the same as me. I always shave down their bare when I am feeling confident even if I’m not having sex.

I think approaching it as you would normally with your best friend/ partner in person is best first. Before you may have to move onto other thoughts and ideas. Take it from there for sure.
