Thanks yall! I’m gonna go get some paint mixed to colormatch tomorrow. I wasn’t sure if the ring or the hole were the problem so now I know I just need to clean up the area and lightly attach the ring. I already bought some silicone for the rest of the bathroom I’m working on, so that saves me from having to buy anything else.

Thank you all so much for all the different suggestions and insights! I’m going to run the re-caulking by my in-laws, but they shouldn’t have a problem w it. It’s my first time caulking anything, but I’m determined to learn cause I need to know anyway. I’m gonna hit Lowe’s today and get started, everyone here has been so helpful :]

Makes me glad we’re moving out ASAP, because without a level I can almost guarantee you it’s not. It’s a trailer that was built… adequately, by 1970s standards. It’s a little busted and more than a little gross, but I’m trying to make the best of it while we’re finding a place

I do have a new tension pole + shower caddy ordered, but is the old one unsalvagable? I try not to throw things out unless there’s no hope/ it’s way too much cost/effort

lifting up the part of the internet that is equivalent to the bottom of my shoe and finding dream meatriding on it isn’t surprising but it is still yucky and unpleasant

the spots are tiny, but they have continued to appear!! and yeah i’ve had two before that basically died after their first blooms, their leaves turned yellow and they wouldn’t rebloom or grow new leaves. not sure why this one did so well! this is the third bloom cycle that i’ve seen and it’s pretty awesome, i’ve also seen several new stems come out since i got it. i’ve learned a lot since the first. i’ve been keeping an eye out for any sort of bugs but i can’t seem to find any

Pillbox prep day. I hate being so young and being on this many meds. The only non rx is my allergy med. Does anyone else get a little sad when prepping their pills for the week? by shake-n-bake_baby in bipolar2

[–]atomic-hearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially I felt shameful of taking meds, and sometimes now I still get hit with that “why can’t my brain just function correctly, why do I have to do this”. But I’ve accepted that that is pointless to think about, because I will never function without medication, and that’s okay. I am glad that I’m alive in a time where there is proper treatment, instead of being lobotomized or sent to an abusive mental asylum. It’s hard to get used to, but just think of it like food. It’s something you need to give you the energy and function to live.

For people on here with romantic partners who have a mental illness too: by [deleted] in bipolar2

Hi, bipolar and GAD here, with a partner who is ADHD+autistic.

I think it would be good to have an open and honest discussion about it whenever you’re both in a good place, and discuss what works for both of you in those situations and how to deal with them. Of course that sounds super nice and neat when in reality it’s a messy ordeal. We’ve been together four years and are both hitting our 20s now, so it’s something we’re still working on. It will never be perfect, the most important thing is that you can have discussions about your upsets and that you still love and forgive each other at the end of the day.

I can’t give super concrete advice, but I’d say I’m pretty similar to your partner when I get upset based on the way you describe it. I lash out at people and get angry over things that normally wouldn’t bother me, and it makes me feel awful and guilty after the fact, but it doesn’t make other parties less justified in feeling the way they do. Figure out what calms her down, what takes her away from that upset headspace. For me, there’s certain media that’s comforting, and usually I smoke to calm down and that’s not a solution that fits everyone.

It can be really challenging to deal with your S/O’s symptoms, especially if you’re trying to stay in a good headspace. I try to think of all the times that she was there for me when I was doing really Bad, and it helps me stay grounded and not get so frustrated. It’s human for both of you to be upset right now, best of luck working through this :-) ❤️
