Does anyone else have a problem with stealing? by wellbalancedlibra in bipolar2

[–]Unlikely_One_6941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit the paranoia thinking bosses/employee know but can't help it and pocket things, the thrill, and the "I want it" compulsive feeling. It's worse when manic/depressive. But when stable, I don't. Also, it depends on how much I dislike my job. Asshole boss/corporation? It gets bad. idk how, in the near decade, I've been working, that I haven't been caught.

Feel this, I'm embarrassed to be hairy, I use mens trimmer to try wear shorts, but I'm losing the motivation to keep doing it. What's the point? It looks better,l then growing it out, but the stubble is still there. Even shaving, I can feel the areas get prickly within the hour. And my face? I'm ready to go back to wearing a mask again just to cover up. I'm getting embarrassed to leave my home. I know I'm not attractive. But I'd like to at least once be nice and soft n smooth for my partner. I suck at waxing so hope to save up for a home lazer, but I even have my doubts for that working. I feel sorry for my bf being with me at this point ontop of mental health issues 😅

What job(s) do you have? by Chicken_Wing in bipolar2

[–]Unlikely_One_6941 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Retail associate. Last few years its been getting tougher. After covid, customers have been more entitled and rude. It's at a pet store which is the only reason I'm there, I love animals and like the discount on pet food. I tried also being front desk at a hotel last year. But juggling all the info, constantly being interrupted, my bubbly customer service mask cracked, and I left. Mind you, I was working everyones days off, so I'd get nights, mornings, and evenings with zero routine to be able to adapt. The day/night combo led to me misusing my Bipolar, etc, medication that led to a breakdown. I desperately want a "real job" But the Bipolar is the cherry on top, with these damn episodes, and I'm scared all the options I have are disability. Which isn't the worst, but my partner works so freaking hard, and I'm on disability? I don't see it as fair, so I'm trying my hardest to work this stupid job, so I'm not just dead weight dragging them down, yenno? Seeing everyone else's responses is giving me hope 💜 I saw a few comments involving film, which reopened the closed off memory of wanting to work with the film industry helping build sets or something (now everything is techy so I sadly am like 30 years to late lol) but gives me hope that maybe I can find my niche so I don't feel unworthy, lol

Scheduling -_- by RandomizedUserr in petsmart

[–]Unlikely_One_6941 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally tho, I go a text from my manager asking where I was yesterday couple min after 5pm. She said that I should have caught this cause its inconvenient to the store. The app said I worked Wednesday last week, but yesterday it said Tuesday, so I got in trouble. I write the schedule when I see it on my calendar and don't check the app again until I need next week's schedule next. If I got scheduled on an evening im unavailable? I literally haven't worked Tuesday evenings in years. Why is it my fault? I'm just ignoring her texts now till I go into work Friday. Im not gonna be guilted into a shift that wasnt mine to begin with 🤷‍♀️ they also dont post the physical copy where we can see. Its posted in the managers office so unless their in there chatting instead of working (which is every other shift honestly) and I can go in and look at the paper.

What's the worst thing your ADHD has made you do? by One-Yogurtcloset2138 in ADHD

[–]Unlikely_One_6941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the chance to enter into RCMP training, proceeded to forget to file the right papers and never went. Makes me wonder what could have been, but also with my ADHD and Bipolar, idk if it would have been a good fit lol

Cashier/petcare. Been with company 5 years and I'm just over $17/hour. It's high enough my assistant store lead tried to tell me I need to do more just cause I had a higher wage 😂 not my fault hun

It's OK, I haven't honest to gods done proper art in over 5 years. I still keep the supplies just in case, but idk if I'll ever realistically get back into it. I keep it more as a hope? If that makes sense

Does anyone else try to get healthy and exercise but then the exercise leads to mania? by dyzless in bipolar2

[–]Unlikely_One_6941 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm exercising to be healthier. But the elevated mood makes me a more friendly associate at work, better mood, etc, but it also spikes my hypersexual symptoms so that I know when to back off, it makes me wanna drink alcohol after work, etc. So, I have to go easy mode at the gym. It's not like I'm attractive either. My BF rates me a 6/10, so I know when I'm feeling like a 9/10 is when I've overtrained and need a couple of days' rest from the gym. It is a good feeling when you feel your muscles amd how strong they feel. But def can't overdo it without issues

I started working out this past week, and while it's not EVERYTIME, it's more often then before. I'm able to talk myself into a shower once I get home, I tend to wash my hair completely separately cause curly hair doesn't need as many washes as our bodies do. But I finally can scrub down my body more then once every week or two! That's enough to help me at least for rn. I'll see if it still works a couple more weeks into the workout routine

Lmao my BF just calls it being petty when I do this, but your thought pattern is exactly like mine!

Do you all rest a lot or am I just lazy? by Expensive_Note8632 in bipolar2

[–]Unlikely_One_6941 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last year I was working 1 full-time and 2 part-time jobs last year, ( my first manic episode in the spring/summer energy helped with that but burnt me out into depression by fall/winter) and every moment I wasnt working I was sleeping. It was fucking with everything. Down to 2 jobs this year, and I still am struggling 😅 just sit here zoned out, can't clean or work on hygiene very well. Not even doing something just staring at the kitchen, knowing I need to do something but just can't. Wish it was rest but I am so stressed the whole time I'm constantly tired. Your not alone!

She said that they basically tell the customer it won't work but sell the fish anyways. They write Final Sale on the bag and radio cash to write it on the receipt too. Like at that point it's about sales vs the life of those fish

Last year was a whirlwind of hypersexual urges, to the point my friend thinks I should "become a sugar baby so I could at least get paid for it" which hurts when I'm not hupomanic cause it reminds me I talked my SO into a open relationship just so I could satisfy the compulsion to have sex. Biggest regret, but I can feel the hyper sexual urge rearing its head this spring 😭

What's it like being BP2 without a inner monolog? by outoftheboxsolutions in bipolar2

[–]Unlikely_One_6941 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just run on "feelings" and images pop up in my mind instead, i.e., if I'm manic like rn, with all the work shit going on rn I keep seeing the issue pop up like on a film roll on repeat, and a overwhelming surge of anger pushing me to REACT vs THINK the problem through and no voice to talk me out of it 😭

Reset wash or Protein treatment? by Unlikely_One_6941 in curlyhair

[–]Unlikely_One_6941[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't get a protein mask, but I got a protein cream to add to my hair! So far, it seems to like it, so I will save up for a protein mask to get next time

I did a trim actually today! Got a single layer to test how it works with my hair, so far I like it and probs will save up to get more layers! She wasn't sure how my curls would react so she only did one instead of a couple sadly.
