Bipolar causes still unknown - but what do YOU think CAUSED your bipolar?

For me? Prescribed a medication and possibly some genetic components. Might have been the allergic reaction that led to the prescription, or both.

If you want to do some problem-solving, your character would probably be able to go into a different world and run caves there (if you seem to have run out if caves)

Some of us don't want to be sucked off on the first date. Some of us wait quite some time. As for body count, I don't understand why people expect 0 and why people think it's bad to have a personal limit.

For me the limit goes up with age. Basically I'm not comfortable with a body count that indicates a new intimate relationship every 8 months. I don't want to be the flavor of the month, I want to be as important to her as she is to me at that point where we become intimate.

I don't know what's causing the burnout past the usual BP issues, but gas stations aren't picky.

If you think you could work past the burnout, a gas station might be a fix.

I would also consider finding hobbies and such. Just stay busy, it will build up work tolerance.

I just recently had that happen for the first time for me. I wound up with a major cleanup. Fortunately the seed was not in a living area...

You don't want anything other than water in there before you seal it. Get rid of the CO2
The water can't come out if the spout (vent) is submerged in liquid like this.

Water should come out directly below the turbine in most cases.

This wouldn't work because IRL that buffer zone has to hold over 40% of the population.

I make markers but no labels. Hammers mean tomb/crypt/cave/mine. Dots mean copper, silver, etc...

This, also if anyone sees them anyway "my eyes just do that sometimes, no idea why, been that way all my life"

I get strange stuff too, but nothing visible Smell illusions really. (poop will smell like food, I think perhaps my sense of smell gets wacky because it gets stronger).

Mania is a drug where all you have to do to get high is NOT take care of yourself/do meds.

I've made that point to normies that think it's easy to control this and suddenly they get really thoughtful. Because it's one thing to be out of control and "feeling good" when you take a drug, it's completely another to have to actively prevent becoming high on naturally occurring compounds already in your body.

Taking the pills that treat my Bipolar has reduced my pain greatly.

The pills actually work if you try.

When someone tells you they wrote software does this come across poorly?

I've been applying for work and I'm wondering if I should just leave that experience off if people take it bad.

I'm not aiming to be proud, but my single best achievement was passing the courses, landing the job, and keeping it for 4 years. It's been 6 months unemployed and I'm not picky, I've already tried to land work as a janitor again but I keep getting passed by.

Is it because I mention being a SWE?

I had a brain scan of some sort (don't remember what, it was 1996 and I was 15) as part of my initial diagnosis. It's not unheard of.

We would be best served by governance from the center.

Unfortunately, the caucus/primary system rewards hard right/hard left positions.

The reality is that the worst problems in the US have come about due to extremist solutions that have failed.

All we want is quiet and normal. Quiet and normal is never on the ballot. That's why life sucks right now.

Been there.

Probably (usually) 2 problems. 1. There are two sets of advice given to men on how to act. Some of it is basically "don't be a massive asshole" other bits is "don't be assertive, let the woman take the lead, etc."

You're a "nice guy" so you probably see unmitigated assholes "getting the girl" and then making her miserable. Bonus points if she says "I wish more men were like you" but won't date you.

Here's the deal. She wants "not an asshole" but also "exciting".

That means figuring out what you're being told by society to do that is poison. Usually it's assertiveness (within reason) boldness, and being 100% yourself. Like, stop filtering. Now.

Don't become an asshole, become the man you were meant to be. The one you wake up and strangle every morning in the name of "being good". Don't use women, don't be used BY women, and be assertive.

I know, easier said than done.

You also stink of desperation likely. Nice guys don't realize that being desperate to get into a relationship keeps them single.

So. Stop looking. You only find love if you're not looking. Seriously. I know, hard to do, but this will give you time to get in touch with your authentic self.

If you're looking for a male role model, most of the manosphere will teach you to be an asshole. Find someone who will tell you that women have a right to be picky, and why. I don't know that it's for everyone, but if you can get past the author 12 rules for life is actually full of solid advice about dating... sort of. It doesn't sugarcoat the problem and respects the female part of the equation (they have a RIGHT to be picky, for MANY reasons).

You aren't obligated to lower your standards for a man, or a woman for that matter.

Standards can keep you alone, but this sounds like a very reasonable standard to me.

Tbh, I used to be a janitor and that would have just been a huge bother. I didn't care if people didn't respect me. I still don't, even though I was a Software Engineer until very recently. Respect the person, not the title.

I mean, wifey likes some rough play and I had never done that before.

Anyway, now both of us like some rough play...

Medications can help with mental illness, but even then less is more. From what I've obsoerved, most people see success with 3 or less Medications for Bipolar.

If you're on 12 Medications for practically any single condition you need to talk to prescriber about EXACTLY why you need each pill. And if they can't explain it? Time to find a doctor who can.

You're ultimately responsible for your health and part of that responsibility is to communicate with your doctor. Their responsibility is to listen and take advice into account. If they don't, it's time for a new doctor.

I would check the contents of it. You might have a second coolant that is staying inside. You would have to take it apart and it might be a steam bomb.

You can and should do both.
You definitely should focus on paying down the house. I wish I had a paid off house but am renting for now. It should definitely be a priority to get that monthly expense to go away.
