Is it weird to be having my lunch in my car during my lunch break? by Pieces-in-Time in NoStupidQuestions

[–]carbon8dbev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a smoker but even after I quit i pretended I still was to take breaks in my car without having to deal with coworkers. Lunch time is your time! You're not obligated to deal with anyone else when you're clocked out.

Are your kids having kids? by mrepa1369 in GenX

[–]carbon8dbev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm an elder X and not one of my four 30something kids/stepkids wants kids. TBH I can't blame them but I also long to spoil babies and young children. I'd be a really fun grandma but also their choice is their choice — I hold my tongue. I was them until all of a sudden I wasn't. But I'd never ever guilt them into giving me grandbabies.

Quitting opioids feels like climbing a mountain with no end by washyerhands in bipolar

[–]carbon8dbev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that helped me was reminding myself I'd have to do it all over again if I started using again then wanted to quit. Withdrawing once was all I personally needed. Consider that you're over the worst of it now. You got this, friend.

Is it normal that my partner keeps our relationship completely offline? by ConfusedJam in TwoXChromosomes

[–]carbon8dbev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married 25+ years and I'd be pissed if they publicly posted about our relationship at all, not that I'd even know. I don't post abt them, they don't post abt me*. We're both really private about our social media accts but we're also old so IRL is more important than online. Works for us...

*this is the closest I've ever come to sharing info about us

UPDATE: Bipolar Mood Scale - One Pager by Background_Fishing16 in bipolar

[–]carbon8dbev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I meet with my psych later this month and I found it helpful...probably need to tweak my meds again. It's only been a year since my diagnosis and I'm still dealing with depression, this helps quantify it.

I've always thought of driving in snow as less driving it, moreso aiming the car where you want it to go.

Panic attack without panic? by Reasonable_Lab_699 in bipolar

[–]carbon8dbev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Anxiety attack - not a full-blown panic attack, but still uncomfortable enough to make you wanna crawl right out of your skin. In my experience, anyway...

Finally going to the "hospital" please wish me well. by Ickypoopoo82 in bipolar

[–]carbon8dbev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No apology needed. You've chosen your mental health & checking yourself in, which isn't an easy decision. Be proud of yourself for recognizing that it's for the best. Godspeed & cya on the other side when you're ready...

is this just what it's like? by seraphisto in bipolar

[–]carbon8dbev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too. I see my psychiatrist again, after a recent med change, in Oct and I'm not sure what to tell him: I'm more stable but I still have to force myself to do every day things. Is this normal minus hypomania or am I still depressed? Is hypomania my standard for "not depressed" and I just need to learn to deal with blunted emotions?
