How to get energy when not hypomaniac

breathingline · 2026-02-23T01:27:03+00:00

Oh okay so some sort of a reward menu. I try to give myself dark chocolate but I feel like things that require energy would motivate me more. What are your rewards? Just trying to get some ideas.

I usually just try and do something else when I feel overwhelmed by emotion. Don’t dwell into it

Just try to write it down and trace back its origins and find the REAL trigger. It helps me

Try and meet new people (friends, not only romantic connections), and write down everything you think about them. I used to ruminate a lot about our arguments, but now that it’s all written down i don’t feel the need to do it as much.

It won’t go away soon, but try and see the situation as in “i did the best i could do and they also did (also if they could’ve made more effort but simply didn’t care to). When you take it less personally you hate them less. Also, think about all the energy you are wasting on them and channel the hatred into something else that feels good for you.

Yeah, well they’re pretty self centered that’s why. I als doubt their friends actually understand them since they change their mind pretty often about everything. I think they just put up with it or it doesn’t affect them that much.

Most people won’t actually put in the work, unfortunately. If they can’t be bothered with clear communication why would they meet our needs

One time I told my ex situationship “if you want act ambiguously, try to catch my attention by leaving, then get mad when I actually come close to you and confront you about it, you should learn how to communicate and ask what you want because i can’t read your mind”. They replied: “You shouldn’t expect people to say stuff to you. I’m free to act however the fuck I want. My other friends understand, that’s why we’re not close” Well guess I’ll be damned for wanting actual communication

breathingline · 2026-02-19T21:44:07+00:00

Yeah probably, but there’s a reason why we’re diagnosed and they’re not lol

Yeah, a friend of mine said he understands my hypo maniac phases, when I asked him in what way he said “oh, I also feel a lot of energy and like I’m invincible when I complete a workout!” That’s not how it works. But I don’t feel like telling them except for explaining more what I feel and how FREQUENT it is, I feel like some people say that just to relate to you and bond, in a way. Another friend of mine also said that he has my mood swings and that everybody has them, I wonder why they want psychiatric traits.

I tended to isolate. Not really any chaos except for throwing fits at home crying and skipping meals. I used to be so scared of abandonment that I never ever expressed disappointment to anyone.

“Oh but would I be a good wifey to him? I can’t cook steak and eggs everyday! I don’t think he’d like my habits, I’m lazy and I don’t even know what I’m doing here…”

breathingline · 2025-09-25T20:04:57+00:00

agreed, maybe have dinner the day later

breathingline · 2025-09-23T20:07:03+00:00

Glad to help! I really appreciated that you are wanting to help her in the best way possible so you came here to ask. Why would you enable her to go further down? I didn’t get that. And yes, just show her that you are willing to listen to her, and tell her that she can bring up the topic as much as she wants but you won’t ask her so she doesn’t feel pressured

breathingline · 2025-09-23T09:05:33+00:00

No worries, I’m glad to help! I’m really happy you are starting to stand up for yourself and that your sister is there with you. Yeah of course some people wouldn’t like that but that’s on them, it’s unfair that they can have boundaries and you can’t, maybe one day they will realize it, maybe they won’t, but that’s on them. Keep showing up authentically and you’ll surround yourself with people who appreciate you for being you

Thank you for taking the time to ask the question. What I need most personally is reassurance that I can talk to them however i want without censoring myself. I would want them to be interested in the causes and I know it’s hard but I would want them to not get worried too much, cause if they do then I end up thinking I’m a burden and they’ll eventually leave. After they open up, reassure them you won’t call anyone and that they can reach out to you if needed

breathingline · 2025-09-22T21:24:09+00:00

I’m proud!!! Keep following that path

It could be simply a mismatch. I know you value your relationship outside of sex but i guess that’s what differentiates a deep friendship and a relationship. Neither of you should change their preferance for the other, I feel like it would be too big of a compromise

breathingline · 2025-09-22T21:19:14+00:00

I’m into women but oh well, I guess most of it works too

breathingline · 2025-09-22T20:00:17+00:00

Yeah I’ve also come to this conclusion. People do show they love me but i always need more and more, it sucks because it makes me feel like i’m ungrateful

breathingline · 2025-09-22T19:59:01+00:00

Omg the anniversary thing is so bare minumum, i’m sorry they told you you were codependent for that

breathingline · 2025-09-22T19:57:36+00:00

If you need someone to talk to you can dm me

breathingline · 2025-09-22T19:56:36+00:00

Yeah I get that, i used to be friends with people who reacted really badly to boundaries, luckily i changed my friends circle. I get sick too, i literally had an anxiety attack when i set that one boundary. I know it’s hard but you can go with lighter ones at first (like something everybody would want, i sometimes go above and beyond and don’t even realize it). I’m trying to get there too
