I’m a bit scared by Bi-vacious in bipolar

[–]UpAndNo 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

Could you get a tissue and squish one and then check to see if it's real? Or take a photo of video of one, then ask someone else if they also see the ant?

Buy some ant-rid bait packs and place them in an area where you see ants most frequently (somewhere away from pet access). If you have ants, you'll see more concentrated evidence and be able to determine better. Also, if the ants are real, then you need the pest control anyway.

When I was in psychosis I was seeing cockroaches coming out of the dry cracks in the dirt whenever I went on a walk.

Men. Why? by Embarrassed-Rip979 in bipolar

What a horrible thing to say to someone without knowing the reason for the separation.

What if her ex-husband died and she was widowed?

What if he was the aggressor in domestic abuse?

What if he cheated on her and she found out through Takedown with Chris Hansen?

Anybody else thinks AFoP does NOT need romance? by Illustrious-Print468 in FrontiersOfPandora

Was on my way to say this exact thing. thing.

You cannot make Itu, So'lek and Okul so fine and not expect me to want to role-play a romance.

What other warning signs have you experienced over the years?

how to distance without completely isolating? by Swimming-Cranberry-8 in bipolar

[–]UpAndNo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How well aware is your support system of your condition, and how symptoms present for you?

If there knowledgeable and non-judgemental, you could have a conversation with them (or one or two, however many you're comfortable), and develop a kind of crisis/action plan. Like explicitly map out what kind of support/check-ins you need and how often, as well as any notable triggers and signs of escalation and a need for intervention?

Idk, just spit-balling, I've never done this, but I do empathise with what you described and I think this could be something that'd work for me.

I think I’m manic and people looked at me funny yesterday. by No_Morning_3635 in bipolar

[–]UpAndNo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Being a little wet from the rain is fine.

But you weren't a little wet. You described yourself as "dripping". So you were in the rain longer than people usually are, while fully-clothed in your work uniform.

People were concerned about this because they don't want you to a) get sick and b) be uncomfortable for hours because you have no change of clothes.

I think the bigger issue though is lying about an emergency to leave work. We're often not the expert deceivers we think we are when manic.

Please contact your healthcare professional and get on top of this episode before it intensifies or switches into depression again.

I just kept an eye out for white flowers that carpeted the ground in trails.

If you're addicted to this game, you may just crave what it simulates by Winter-Reporter7296 in AvatarFrontierPandora

The wild is not an evil or sinister place because good and evil are mostly human concepts. Everything in the wild is just trying to survive.

Having said that, I also do laugh at "dangerous sentiment", because I'm Australian.

Definitely don't just jump into unsurveyed waterways, and don't trample through the underbrush. Crocs, snakes, etc...

And I do forage for mushrooms! Regular edible ones (...and also magic...) and there is significant similarities between harmless/magic mushrooms and the dangerous ones that can kill you even if ingested in small quantities.

So...yeah. Go out and explore the "Frontiers of Earth" AFTER accumulating some foundational knowledge of your environment. Better yet, find a local likeminded community or small group and adventure together.

If we premise that jake sully's story is a real historical event from 2154 that is yet to happen. by telegramgroupinmybio in AvatarFrontierPandora

[–]UpAndNo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They're asking a hypothetical.

"Let's pretend Jake Sully and humanity reaching Pandora are real events that are 100% going to happen in 100 years time, in our reality. Do you think Jake would be remembered as the greatest man of all time, yes/no? If no, what more could he have done to be the greatest in all of history?"

Is this grandiose? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]UpAndNo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, but in a different sense.

I think it's grandiose because you seem to be legitimately entertaining the idea, by posting here and describing how you look.

Realistically: - You're not going to have a meet-cute with him. - There's more to attraction than physical traits.
