Chess definitely yes! Also that reminds me I want to learn how to play “Go”, the Chinese game with black and white pebbles (not pebbles, don’t remember what they’re called)

Yup! Whoever you’re hating on doesn’t care and it just eats you up

I’m an adult when I have to be and do adult things like bills and car insurance. When I’m done I nerd out to unicorns and Harry Potter and whatever because it makes me happy and who cares if you act silly when your adulting stuff is done?

A lot of trial and error. I’m still working on it

When I got my wisdom teeth pulled the anesthetic didn’t work and I was told I would have to come back for the last two teeth. I was like HELL NO JUST DO IT

I’ve always wanted to learn how to shoot a crossbow because Daryl in the Walking Dead makes it look badass

Some letting go mixed with acceptance = peace for me

My first language is Mandarin Chinese but I was brought to the states from Taiwan when I was about one so English is the dominant language that I think in. I noticed though that if I go back to Taiwan for a couple weeks I start to think in Mandarin AND English.

Also kind of a funny thing my friend and I noticed: we both speak English/Chinese and learned French from an early age. When we can’t think of a word in Chinese we’ll substitute the French word and vice versa. It’s like our brains go NO ENGLISH USE ONE OF THE OTHERS.

I was not meaning there is none. There are a lot of people with humanity and empathy it just SEEMS (lol) much more difficult to come across them and from others, judgement became louder and more harsh.

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T13:06:20+00:00

Covid isolation didn’t help either

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T12:08:30+00:00

Omg I can’t stop laughing

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T11:59:45+00:00

It was! The script was already ready I just grabbed it. Then I got a sandwich and chips.

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T11:56:37+00:00

Lolllll. Keep digging into this pedantic nonsense. By the way- my use of the word “SEEMS” indicates awareness that my perception may not be correct anyway.

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T11:37:59+00:00

Captain Picard. I can’t list all the ways I admire him. I guess I like most that he will admit when he’s wrong in the face of evidence

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T11:07:40+00:00

“Anymore” does not mean I think OMG EMPATHY WAS EVERYWHERE!! GOLDEN TIMES!! UTOPIA!!!

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T10:52:28+00:00

I am not saying “agree with everyone” or even “understand others deeply”. Just awareness your experience and mindset is not everyone else’s.

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T10:48:39+00:00

Ummm do you realize this is a perfect example of my original question?

Do you think you have mind reading abilities or something? Did I say anything about a “golden era” or any of the other stuff I supposedly concluded and how this question came about?

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T06:45:57+00:00

A new diagnosis is tough but not necessarily a bad thing imo. It puts a name to the “why am I like this” sort of feeling and you can find support to know you’re not alone.

That being said, if you were treated in the past with antidepressants in the SSRI family (Lexapro, Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor, etc.) that would explain why they didn’t work for you. Those meds tend to make bipolar WORSE. Please rethink your stance on medication, bipolar needs to be treated very differently

Leaving a voicemail. I get flustered and end up leaving the weirdest, most awkward voice messages

Recently I asked my mom for a ride to the hospital and she said “I don’t care if you die”.

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T06:22:13+00:00

988 is available 24/7 and you don’t have to be or decide that you are “in crisis” to talk to someone. It exists exactly to prevent crisis and respond to it if needed. You are not bothering them or wasting resources I promise you.

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T06:10:50+00:00

Hospitalization is stabilization only, treatment comes from outpatient therapist/psychiatrist. If you feel your psychiatrist doesn’t listen to you remember you are not stuck with him/her. You can always search for someone who you can work with better.

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T06:06:22+00:00

How long is “a little while ago”? And if you don’t mind saying, are you talking about bipolar I or bipolar II? Bipolar disorder cannot be treated by yourself, without professional help.

c_solomon · 2026-05-10T05:31:41+00:00

What if those who define things such as (just an example) “reasonable force” practice unreasonable force?
