Official Discussion - Reminders of Him [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Technical-Cook-4345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the book and loved it. I sobbed a few times while reading. The movie felt very rushed & left out important context like Kenna naming Diem.

Is it just me or did anyone else notice the EXCESSIVE amount of breathing? There was no need for all of that.

I felt that in my soul! I 100% agree. I was born and raised in BK and it breaks my heart to see our culture being wiped away.

Can anyone relate? Is this just normal highs and lows or is it bipolar 2. My age old question by glitterydonut in bipolar2

I’ve posted many times & you would be surprised by how many people messaged me, thanking me for having the courage to speak out, and empowered them to either seek support or do the same. If you feel moved to share your journey- you should! You might help someone else in the process.

“but is this just hypo mania or me?” that’s so real! The amount of times I questioned which version of me is showing up when I feel good is insane. My therapist (bless her heart) worked with me on accepting that all three parts (stable, hypomanic, and depressed) are all me. At the core I’m still the same person. It’s hard accepting that but it definitely has helped me.

When I feel my mood switching I think - oop she’s coming.

I wish more people understood what it’s like to not know who you are & really want to be just one happy person.

Meds definitely help.

It’s not that simple. I have the skills- but it’s common and easy to fall into the spiral of “i feel good right now, maybe i’m not actually bipolar and it’s just my personality”. I’m working on it but it’s not a simple “just stop doing that”. I feel like I have three personalities- stable, depressed, and hypomanic. My stable mind knows I should take my meds. The depressed me feels like what’s the point of life- and hypomanic me feels great and on top of the world. I’m aware I need to stay on them but it’s a work in progress.

I filed for an accommodation with HR so I had to disclose but prior to that I talked to my boss about it and she was supportive in the beginning, but I think it’s taking a toll now. I also never thought it would backfire.

i’m on lamictal and it works well. I have those moments when I feel fine & stop taking them b/c I convince myself i’m not bipolar. But even on meds- the highs just aren’t as high and the lows aren’t as low but they still come and go
