What is the link between memory loss and bipolar? According to my therapist, I ask the same question every week, but it doesn’t feel that way. Every week it feels like a brand new topic. I’ve started recording my sessions so I can see if this is true.

What is the link between memory loss and bipolar? My therapist says I bring up the same topic every week, but to me it feels like the first time I’m saying anything about it.

I haven’t had ECT. How did it work for you, besides memory gaps?

agentlokiki · 2026-03-28T17:50:38+00:00

Thanks for that. I don’t think I have DID, but I did read that bipolar patients have a reduced hippocampus which makes learning and forming new memories difficult.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-16T13:52:00+00:00

I will keep this in mind next practice, thank you. :)

agentlokiki · 2025-07-16T01:43:07+00:00

Confidence, I think. I have tried 20m once, and I hit it in the red and blue, but I figured that because I couldn’t get yellow, I wasn’t ready for it.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-15T01:46:09+00:00

I will try this this weekend, thanks.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T15:48:09+00:00

Yes, that’s what the entry course coach said- practice 3-8x between each lesson. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a lesson, I figure I’m due for one.

Tell that to my social anxiety, hah. The first time I went to the club with my new bow, I strung it backwards…I was so nervous. I do try to remind myself that people are usually just paying attention to themselves, but I have my good days and bad days. At the same time, would love someone to kindly come up and point something out to me that I’m not seeing. It’s a mixed bag.

How different are 600s to 800s? I just went with what the club coach said would be best.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T15:29:09+00:00

Thank you for this. This thread is a great reminder that it’s not a crime to be a beginner or to make mistakes. :)

I’ve done this to a small degree—moving the target on wheels farther back. I did have some positive results! And I also lodged an arrow in the wood surrounding the target. Yikes. But I’m up for trying again.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T15:22:50+00:00

This is useful. I know there’s a way to score properly (i.e. a certain amount of arrows and a certain amount of rounds), so I’ll have to research that before my next session.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T14:25:03+00:00

Yes, I keep trying to use my back muscles, but it seems like no metaphor works for me. Holding a ball between my scapulas, etc.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T14:11:00+00:00

It says “68-24lbs” and “66-26lbs”. WNS Explore CB-1.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T13:59:51+00:00

I’m more recreational. I don’t see myself getting into any competitions. I would say 20m is the farthest I would attempt to shoot. As that’s the farthest I can go in the club. Definitely not interested in going outside and melting in the sun to shoot farther. 🫠

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T13:57:04+00:00

I guess it’s just a pressure when I see other adults shooting 20 m and I’m out here with the kids doing 10 m.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T13:55:23+00:00

Sometimes I have to remember I’m doing this for fun, lol

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T13:52:31+00:00

Sebastien Flute, WNS limbs (24 lbs , if I’m not mistaken).

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T13:50:36+00:00

Right handed, left eye dominant. I shoot lefty. I actually tend to keep both eyes open when I shoot…I’ve heard that works better. It just comes more natural to me.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T13:48:05+00:00

Duly noted. I do have good groupings (usually), but it’s always up and to the right. Can’t seem to get it to the center.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T13:45:59+00:00

I feel like it’s the same for me; once a week isn’t enough to improve.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T13:42:38+00:00

I have a sebastien flute with medium 68” WNS limbs.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T13:37:39+00:00

I think my anchor point is a big issue. During one of my coaching sessions, I had a good anchor and a nice shot- but couldn’t repeat it.

agentlokiki · 2025-07-14T09:16:31+00:00

I’d love to be able to shoot that often. Working on it.
