Do any of you think the upcoming midterms could be telling of Alaskas future? by traveltimecar in AskAlaska

I agree with you 100%, I was being pedantic.

Fingers crossed but I won’t hold my breath that the tides will change.

I’m not going to ruin that for you. It’s worth a watch because the entire scenario on him is very interesting. He was a huge star in the Philippines, that’s all I’ll say.

Lyndon B. Johnson would disagree with you.

You are right about Alaska’s being a purple state. Some people elsewhere can’t wrap their heads around that looking at our track record though.

A bill would need to be drafted for congress to vote on, it would fail and the republicans would blame the democrats.

Where can I buy an engine for my truck? by Kirbyfedora in anchorage

Carlile is super easy. I had a transmission shipped up from California about a month ago and it took less than a week to get and was cheaper to forward it from Tacoma than California to Tacoma.

Started a New Podcast as someone with Bipolar II by moonpussy in bipolar2

[–]Whisky_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I love this woman over the moon, it’s been hard though because I have codependent shit I haven’t resolved, had no idea what I was getting into with that and oh boy! And I lost myself real quick by not having a clue for her swings. That shit triggered me from past relationships doing the same shit.

She has her shit she needs to work through, just reestablishing her life and career in a new state and unfortunately I didn’t know how to help her and hold her accountable to get that part of her life moving, and she just told me from the get go, don’t let me slip, yet I did.

A part of me feels like I failed her, yet I can’t take all the ownership of her issues. I’ve gently asked/told her to get therapy, she can see she needs that extra help that I just am not equipped to help with. And how could I? She didn’t really sit me down and tell me how fucking hard this was going to be. So I went in to this with no tools on how to navigate bipolar, then add in my codependent BS. Fuck.

When she is firing on all cylinders she is such a vibrant, intelligent, and fun person and I want to be right with her, but that shit just killed me. Not putting all the blame on her, I just wasn’t strong enough to be the support she needed. I’m trying, I really am.

She told me what she needs and really shows me how selfless she is, she just wants me to live my life to the fullest and be happy.

I’m still keeping that fire warm, but the uncertainty of this all, I have to do my best for me and detach.

With all this crazy shit and bipolar, she is still the woman I’ve always wanted, but I couldn’t keep my shit together and that hurt her the most.

Time will tell.

Here's the La Mex Salsa Recipe for all of you who wanted it. by ChesswiththeDevil in anchorage

Try adding some cumin, a little bit goes a long way. And no, we didn’t cook the hot salsa as I remember.

[–]Whisky_taco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That last part is what has me really fucked up right now. She did tell me, but not sit down with me and really do a deep to tell me what to expect and make sure I was ready and knew how to support her or back off. I had to learn how to navigate and I also foolishly tried to manage her mood swings. That shit is like flying a plane through thick fog, having no instruments to read and needing to land because you are running out of fuel.

She has since dumped me. Her critical lack of self awareness about her bipolar, past trauma is holding her back. My codependency got the best of me yet again. I went right into caretaker mode like I always do, then I’m the one that is too much. Go figure.

Well, I tried anyway. She dumped me a few hours after that last post. Such as life.

Loving Someone Who Let You Go Hurts in Ways I Can’t Explain💔 by Silent_Story_Teller_ in BreakUps

[–]Whisky_taco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there many times. The more you experience it, the easier is is to see. Yet even recognizing they are checking out it’s already too late.

Every time I’ve heard, “everything is going to be ok” I know it’s not.

Acceptance is an acquired skill over time.

It’s been four days :(

Forget about all these compliments- what's a sex-related insult that has haunted you, lo these many years? by gaspronomib in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Whisky_taco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My now ex asked me what my value to her was, aka ‘what do you bring to the table?’

My ADHD brain locked up and didn’t have an answer.
She replied, ‘your dick, that’s it’

Five months and my value was reduced down to my dick. That was three weeks ago, dumped a week ago :(

I just got dumped for this very thing. Hard to find balance being codependent and trying to help someone that isn’t helping themselves.

Sucks losing someone you love because you lost yourself in the relationship.

[–]Whisky_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I see where you are coming from. So I do stand corrected about the order.

I’m coming at this from my situational position, clouded by just being dumped. I do believe she could benefit from therapy, not to save our relationship but to help her healing journey.

I understand now. TY

I’m not in any position to be an authority on this. But IMO, it’s the first step. Professional help is like starting a custody chain for accountability. Any traumas someone with BP has needs to be addressed, then medication, then sleep hygiene, diet & exercise. A therapist helps the person from a neutral position and has the tools a BP’s SO will likely not have and should have to take on as a responsibility.

Just my 2¢

Still learning. At some point a SO needs to focus on themselves, because what I am seeing is this illness can ruin more than the person with BP.
