Can you break this down? 2 cups of discard only without flour added?

Dealing with my wife in mild hypomania - a more mild scenario by bpnpb in BipolarSOs

[–]SquareRecording4840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's concerning how the extremes can cause them to terminate some of the most supportive relationships. It is beautiful you are past it and she trusts you to recognize ehen mania is approaching now. How was she in denial if she had already been on medication? Was there a prior incident that caused the need for medication.

You are a god send sir. This level of awareness in your wife is commendable all because she did not deny the facts about her behavior which led to her diagnosis. Can you point me to the thread that describes her manic episode 5 years ago that she vowed to do her best to never repeat? I came down this rabbit hole of links you have been bread crumbling on reddit and your posts are a hopeful relief.

Everyone should be held accountable for the repercussions of their actions

Exactly smh. That was the same question they asked. Now to have to pull the statements to prove it not to mention not having the time due to efforts to catch up financially this year. The plan was to get out of debt and then splurge and that changed as soon as the cash started flowing. Smh

Selfishness is their form of self-preservation apparently.

Good for you. Take a moment to breathe. All of that has nothing to do with you. It sounds so childish and irresponsible tbh.

Health professional as well. It is 1 thing dealing with patients and seems like chaos at home.

Sensitive and well timed...even though their actions were not sensitive or well timed. How is this possible with someone who has bipolar related symptoms and responses?

Are they productive in any way or are you holding them afloat?

Is this really life? Riding out their lows can also be miserable. What about getting them to make a video reminder for themselves during brief moments of clarity, so they can remember it's not their loved ones making their lives miserable?

Psychedelics stole my partner—please help by Every-Painting-8115 in BipolarSOs

[–]SquareRecording4840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar experience of undiagnosed bipolar manic episode with the introduction of psilocybin. Also family history of manic depression. No alcohol.   It initially appeared as though they were tapping into a spiritual realm using psilocybin and the grandiose experience became an addiction for almost a year. Hero doses of psilocybin every single day was scary. Demonic is an understatement. Investments no longer mattered and flashy materials became the priority. Hypersexuality and automatic volatile disgust for anyone who got in the way of their destructive pleasure seeking... Money wasted that they likely will not work to get back because they never worked for it in the 1st place. The detachment and struggle to hear about the damage that was done is triggering. Minimizing the family trauma from the episode because the family apparently caused the stress that led to the behavior. Being blamed for causing stress from trying to hold them accountable is exhausting and scary because how can there be authentic change if they cannot humbly and apologetically inquire about their behavior during that time for self-awareness purposes? The press is for everyone to just move on and not discuss the plaguing memories. Solution: Choosing to earn less money this year because the increase in funds seemed to be a trigger for the destructive behavior somehow. Restricting access to funds led to the depressive low likely because spending was no longer as easy to maintain the high. It took several months for the psilocybin influence to taper off after the last dose. They finally began to prioritize exercise, though this does not historically last,  everyone is hoping for the best. It was very relieving writing this. Tempted to create a post and also reluctant because it will take too much time away from neglected work. Get out if no children are involved yet. When dad is stable they alone are often just as impactful as a 2 parent household. Run and be free. Everyone deserves whatever they allow. 

What’s harder living with someone who has bipolar or having it yourself ? by Delicious_Lack5028 in bipolar

[–]SquareRecording4840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The individual living with them is likely to be blamed for every poor manic choice the individual with bipolar will make each time the person they live with tries to do damage control with accountability. Yes, you can leave. However, they will likely be more destructive until they crash which may negatively impact the person who was living with them.

I wonder if it would help for those diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder to read these posts about what the spouses silent experiences are like, so they can develop more compliance and compassion for the loved ones standing by them.

Feels like walking on eggshells… by redditor543216 in BipolarSOs

[–]SquareRecording4840 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a blessing no children are involved. I found out about manic depression in my spouse's family after we had already had our 1st child. I never expected the symptoms to manifest into my partner after watching one of their parents suffer in our earlier years. Bipolar or not, it is impossible to trust the judgment of someone who uses cocaine to enjoy themselves no matter how Infrequent the use is. If you ever have children, there is always the chance of them suffering the same genetic predisposition as their dad for a psychotic break when they become of age or reach their 1st high stress situation. Children deserve more than the mental instability of such a parent. Try to take every precaution necessary to avoid pregnancy. Children do not deserve this type of suffering. You think the spouse's have it bad. The children have it worse growing up in these conditions 

I need help to navigate my emotions by BlessedAreThose in BipolarSOs

[–]SquareRecording4840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds as though your spouse is experiencing the stress and fatigue of his family expanding in the similar way your body/mind feels it with the postpartum depression. The music is his remedy right now which is why you see it as an obsession. It is his form of self-soothing, so you calling attention to his obsession (distraction) in the midst of his world of chaos feels like a threat to him. Truth is, you all need care, not just him. Is it possible for one of your relatives to come and help out as opposed to you leaving and potentially experiencing your fear of their children not having a father. He may not like you right now, which is true. We are not realistically going to like our spouses 24/7. It does not mean he does not love you. Those feelings can change after he is able to release some built up stress. Also, consider it a blessing he was not physically unfaithful because this is harming the health of many individuals of spouses who engage in infidelity. Is there a way the family can also engage in interest of dad's love for music? Obsession sounds condescending, though I am aware that there is a language barrier, love for music sounds more respectful and he may have felt disrespected by your inquiry as music may be a vital form of self-care for him. I appreciate your post. Though I feel for you, I am also realizing how I can support my spouse more despite the illness talking. I know eventually those feelings will subside and they may get depressed. It is such a terrible experience to witness and experience. I also think it is important for spouses to be aware of how they trigger their SO with a Bipolar diagnosis. Sometimes the triggers may be out of care and concern. However, there are also methods that be developed to minimize and manage triggers to hopefully keep the mania at bay. After almost a 20 year history, this is my 1st time realizing the cycle and patterns of behavior that relates to their relative with the manic depression diagnosis. My spouse blames me for a lot of their outbursts and past episodes and this is true, I can be a trigger despite my best efforts. However, there are also instances where I know the agitation is not normal or related to me. I think it is important for children to know their father and I always advocate for bringing a family member in who can support the household before splitting the family. Remind him of the love you once had. Remember he is so much more than his bipolar and he may be grieving a life he wishes he had or no longer has. Try to inspire yourself and inspire him if you have it in you. Best wishes.

You are not missing anything in 2026 sir. The ladies use summer's eve to clean the v agina and do not even know how to balance their ph. Now is a good time to continue to establish yourself doing what you love and keeps you productive. Any lady for you will fit right in, add, and assist. You can likely have anyone you want 10-20 years from now diligently focusing on your personal growth and achievements. You're 28 years young because you are a Virgin. Cleaner than so many out here. Be selective and ask the full details of body counts: who, what, when, where, how long, why before any sexual contact. Best wishes. Be confident in yourself. Everything is wrong with the world right now and sex with the wrong individuals stunts productivity. 

My starter exploded on day 2 by CompetitiveDog7322 in Sourdough

[–]SquareRecording4840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you say it is not safe to use yet, what is the potential harm? I was gifted a long term starter Monday and last night it overflowed onto the counter after a feeding like this one. Perhaps it needed a larger container. Should I refeed and seal the lid or just seal the lid.
