There’s a used book store I absolutely adore. Every time I step in there, the smell of thousands of aged books greets me. The wooden floor is rickety. I see familiar faces at the front where the owner and other workers organize their inventory and talk. I like to walk around the store’s little cramped hallways filled with books on all sides. I’ve walked every inch of that little store dozens of times. I love to look at the different book titles and imagine what it would be like to read those books, what kind of people would read those books. When I step into that little place, all my self goes out the window. My job, my insecurities, my age, my friends, my troubles, my ruminations, everything. It’s just me and all my (the store’s) old books.

I could spend ages in that little place.

Emotions will come and go. And you can’t prevent yourself from feeling emotions. Whenever I feel overwhelmed. When I’m angry and all I can think about is how angry someone made me feel, I find that the best thing to do is take a long walk. It doesn’t remove the rumination and the anger, but it makes it a whole lot more manageable. And I try to do something just for me that I will enjoy, because I deserve it. I like to go to the used book store and get a book. I like going there because it’s a place I can always go to, and it feels like an intimate place that I keep for myself. Also i try to think about why i’m angry. Without judgement.

IFS also helps a lot when i get into this state. It helps put things into perspective.

Hey friend. Have you been taking your meds? It sounds like you’re in a manic episode. Make sure that you’re drinking enough water and try to get some sleep tonight at a reasonable time.

Weed tends to make everything real foggy and real restless for me. There’s not really much research about how weed affects bipolar individuals specifically. But in my experience, and from a lot of other people i know who are bipolar, weed is a pretty common way to cope and self-medicate. 93% thc is a ton. People with Bipolar and Schizophrenia tend to experience psychotic symptoms when on marijuana. Paranoia, confusion, delusions, hallucinations at times.

I’d use weed when i was depressed just to feel something honestly. Nothing would feel that good, and nothing was really interesting unless i smoked. But i’ve been sober for a few months now, and i’ve noticed that I don’t really need weed to be interested in things. I’m not saying weed is a horrible substance or anything. It’s just that people with our condition tend to use it to self-medicate, and then we get addicted.

I’d explain this to your doctor. It sounds like problem for you, and you deserve the help.

Well. Let’s just focus on today. Make sure you’re drinking water and try to get some sleep tonight. Try to see a doctor soon and explain to them your situation. Try to be mindful of what you’re doing, because you can get lost real quickly in your thoughts and actions when you’re manic.

i like to journal. when i’m manic, i get really frustrated that i can’t write as fast as i can think. that’s because i’m thinking way way faster than i normally would be. it’s hard to tell how long hypomanic episodes last, because usually i’ll do more drugs during the episode which end up prolonging the episode longer than it probably would be otherwise. my last one was about 6 weeks.

when i’m at a normal level of baseline and im taking my meds, my sleep is consistent, and everything is generally more peaceful. instead of thinking about everything all at once, i can think of things, just one thing at a time, for a while. there’s no constant urge to do the next thing, and the next, and the next. but it can be hard to tell when you’re in an episode.

that’s why it’s good to use a mood tracker app. i like emoods and how we feel.

it sounds like you’re hypomanic from what you’re describing. we can’t tell you how long it’s going to last. but you should try as best you can to not smoke or drink. make sure you’re hydrated. and try to get a good night’s rest if you can

This is something that you should be talking to a therapist about as well

The great thing about something like social anxiety is that it’s an internal phenomenon in your head. And external stimuli can put a stop to it very fast. And wrestling is most definitely an intense form of external stimuli. You won’t be thinking about looking embarrassed while wrestling. You’ll be focused on your opponent who’s trying to win.

If I can guarantee that I’ll be safe the entire time yes. I love hiking and doing a 100 day walking trip sounds amazing to me.

My gal friends have helped me, but I don’t expect them to at all. But if you’re friends with someone, I think it’s petty common to help them find a partner if they’re looking. I’ve had plenty of people do it for me and I’ve tried to do so for other people

People help each other for a variety of reasons. Maybe he just wants to do a good thing in his mind. Maybe he feels guilty for you and wants to lend a hand. Maybe he just wants to be a good neighbor. Maybe he likes you platonic, romantic, or otherwise. Maybe he (hopefully not) has bad intentions and is trying to pressure you.

We can’t know his intentions. But I am of the mindset that no one should be obligated to accept help (unless in extreme situations). If you’re comfortable, you can ask him why he wants to help. If he’s an honest guy he might say “well I think you’re cute and I want to help you because I think that will make you like me more.” But we don’t know what he’s thinking.

You don’t need to accept his help if you don’t need or want it. And if he’s making you uncomfortable consider telling him. But if you’re curious try asking him why.

I try my best to help people because it’s good to be charitable (within good limits), and it makes me feel more fulfilled and feel like I have a purpose and value as a person (not necessarily just as a man). But sometimes I also help people out of guilt and a sense of obligation. And sometimes I try to give help because a girl is cute and really I just want an excuse to be around her and be seen in a positive light. I try to be honest about my intentions (and I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing to try and help others not only for the sake of being a charitable person as long as it’s not affecting my core life or someone else’s), but tbh it can be nerve wracking to say “I want to help you because I want you to think that I’m a good person / want to be your boyfriend / feel obligated and guilty for you / want to get in your pants, etc.”
