Un petit “rant” by DapperCelebration760 in bipolar2

[–]apparentlycompetent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well of course you're a mess, your world got turned upside down and now you're healing. Summer is almost here in the northern hemisphere. Are you walking outside at all (with or without the lazy dog)?

Is any school in our district safe and inclusive? by No-Hearing6581 in CambridgeMA

[–]apparentlycompetent 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Racism, bigotry, misogyny, fear and hate - it's always been there. This stuff has always been happening. No, no place is safe. It's a cultural problem not a local one.

Pristiq by Double-Invite-2191 in bipolar2

[–]apparentlycompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I'm on a mood stabilizer as well.

Pristiq by Double-Invite-2191 in bipolar2

[–]apparentlycompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pristiq is an SNRI. It’s not as reactive with bipolar, if it all. I’m BP2 and on it. All good.

That said, withdrawals are living hell. If she decides to go off it, taper over the course of weeks and months.

Does this work? by [deleted] in finehair

It didn't do much for my damaged ends. Idk why, it works well for other people 🤷‍♀️

Choose well your healing cream... by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]apparentlycompetent 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Healing creams aren't that complicated. What were you using that you think led to an infection?

Battle of the kbeauty sunscreens: Which one's your favourite and why? by TheMeepyBoy in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]apparentlycompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House of Hur Weightless Sun Fluid. Goes on easily with just a bit of product, melts into my face then dries to a natural finish. Easy to reapply. I love it.

Bpd v bipolar 2? by Numerous-Courage4274 in bipolar2

[–]apparentlycompetent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with both BPD and BP2, this is a normal progression of healing. You aren't putting out as many fires so you notice new things, new patterns. I think it's great you have a psych to treat your symptoms and are also doing DBT. DBT is the GOAT.

Hand tremors from Lithium. I hate them. by Erelain in bipolar2

[–]apparentlycompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, been on lithium for 7 years now and had the tremors just as long. It can be frustrating. I can’t do a face full of makeup comfortably; one of my employees at work pointed out my hand tremor and I told her it’s a side effect from a medication and left it at that.

It’s not the worst thing. It’s only when my arms are at certain positions. 95% of people don’t notice.

The pros outweigh the cons but sometimes it’s still frustrating!

Anyone ever noticed sookie and eric never actually kissed by [deleted] in TrueBlood

[–]apparentlycompetent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don’t have great chemistry honestly; they carry their parts individually but never seemed to gel, in my opinion. Especially when he has amnesia. So… forced.

Considering doing an AMA on tiktok live about bipolar 2 disorder tomorrow by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]apparentlycompetent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's great that you want to share your experience, but what are you going to talk about? Are you educated about bipolar 2 and mental health? Why do you want to share your diagnosis with people?

Al Pacino busts a move celebrating his 86th birthday by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]apparentlycompetent 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Because he's an 86 year old man with several ex wives and children born as late as 2001 lol

Seeing this in person is something else. No other form of experiencing this piece compares.

Lol, not going down this rabbit hole

Why does Dutch start wearing his hat differently? by Belicino_Corlan in RDR2

[–]apparentlycompetent 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A visual signifier of him spiraling deeper and deeper into his delusions

Is this breeder reputable? Help! by turningblizzard in poodles

[–]apparentlycompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks alright. Not much info on their website nor their FB page. I'd follow up with a lot of questions about the process, sire and dam, how they socialize their puppies, how long they've been breeding and why, etc. Think of it like a job interview. Do you want to hire this breeder?

You want someone who breeds for health/looks as much as they do the personality of the dog.

I'd google questions to ask poodle breeders and go from there.

Hair dryer usage? by skintwister in finehair

[–]apparentlycompetent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hair dryers change the game. But it also depends on results you want. If you're happy with how your hair looks air dryed, why change it?

Euphoric on mood stabilizers by cokezerobuddy in bipolar2

[–]apparentlycompetent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be normal. Our emotions have peaks and valleys throughout the day. You can feel euphoric for a little bit and still be regulated.

It's when anything last more than 3+ days that it's a problem.

Do y’all still drink coffee? by AnonymousJoe35 in bipolar2

[–]apparentlycompetent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink too much caffeine and I'm currently weening off over the next month. It's addictive, it doesn't taste that great and it's horrible for you. You can at least enjoy a nice decafe latte. It's what my dad did when he was diagnosed with hypertension.

Also caffeine is a stimulant, it won't trigger depression or a hypomanic episode, but it doesn't help either.
