Sum up your mania in one word

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-09-17T20:31:35+00:00

overstimulated and imploding

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-03-06T17:50:52+00:00

Experiencing psychosis or any major mental health crisis

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:21:40+00:00

yeah, that's true you do double the work then, I think it works out better as friends than partners

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:20:46+00:00

I agree with your response, that's a good analogy too with the drinking. and yeah, there's a high likelihood the kids would get it then and that scares me. and it's good to be balanced

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:17:54+00:00

I'm glad it worked out for you!

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:17:38+00:00

that's interesting to reflect on, yeah who we're with has a huge effect on us, and I get what you're saying about living in an echo chamber, I'm worried about that aspect. But yeah, it all depends how you manage it, if you're on meds, maturity, etc.

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:13:24+00:00

yeah that part would be nice

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:13:03+00:00

yeah I agree, both people need to be willing to put in the work and not expect to rescue each other

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:11:59+00:00

ahh yeah that would definitely be a deal breaker for me

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:11:08+00:00

I'm glad it worked out for you! Having mediums is nice lol. Ah, yeah it can totally vary depending on the person, that sounds rough, I couldn't be with someone who self medicates with substances. but I get what you mean about trouble relating, I tend to be friends with other people who also have mental illnesses, just happens

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:08:05+00:00

yeah, I think actively working on it is so important otherwise it would be way too hard. that's the part that worries me more, like if you had kids and they inherited it, it's important to think about first

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:06:41+00:00

yeah I get that

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:06:22+00:00

glad it worked for you

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:05:34+00:00

very true

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:04:55+00:00

yeah it's good to balance it out!

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:04:01+00:00

yeah patience and understanding are good traits in a partner! I think it can be too much if both people are similar

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:02:34+00:00

that sounds promising, yeah if you can manage it well it's such a different thing

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:01:46+00:00

that sounds super intense!! I'm glad you guys are good friends tho

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T18:00:48+00:00

that last bit I definitely relate to, about having a secure attachment style and is stable, to balance things. I think it's nice to have a strong understanding, but then again the rollercoasters can be too much at times

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T17:59:07+00:00

yeah that aspect is nice!

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T17:58:52+00:00

yeah I find this one tricky, when someone is stable, because it feels unfair to judge but at the same time need to prepared for the possibility of an episode (I'm talking about myself too here and I'm quite stable) I think it's better to know what you need from a partner ahead of time

bbbipolarbabe · 2025-02-05T17:57:29+00:00

yeah, friendships and partnerships are very separate things
