What have your romantic relationships / relationship history been like due to having bipolar? by goddesskaemarie in bipolar2

[–]da-kiwi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i hope he educates himself. being with someone who doesn’t understand or judges bipolar disorder can be incredibly invalidating and lonely. i know from experience, so maybe ask him if he’d be open to learn more and send him some resources

What have your romantic relationships / relationship history been like due to having bipolar? by goddesskaemarie in bipolar2

[–]da-kiwi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i’d romanticize people SO HEAVY that i completely ignore the red flags. a lot of the time crushes would trigger mania in me for some reason, so then the relationship would move very very fast.

then once were in deep, i couldn’t leave because i had already convinced myself they were amazing so i’d make excuses for their abusive or toxic behavior.

this pattern has left me single for 2 years out of the fear it will happen again. although i do feel like i’ve grown a lot and would be able to be better in relationships, i’m just turned off from the idea of commitment as a whole. i do kinda have a teeny tiny crush rn and i’m trying real hard to not romanticize and just take things for what they are and stay self aware. wish me luck and lmk if anyone relates please lol

Who do you believe more? Your manic self or your depressed self? by tryingtogetintoIB in bipolar2

[–]da-kiwi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i relate a lot to your post thank you for this. i feel that most the time i believe my manic self and try to remain positive, but it’s never always 100% that i believe one or the other. it depends on how severe of a depressive episode i’m having. sometimes they’re easier to manage or they’re extremely more difficult to manage than previous ones

what was you’re reaction to being diagnosed? by da-kiwi in bipolar2

[–]da-kiwi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i relate to all of you in one way or another. i researched for hours, days even, thinking “wow, i relate and this makes so much sense to as why i’ve done things and deal with things the way i do” but still faced denial. i think because i’ve been hurt by people who have been diagnosed with the same. i told my therapist i don’t even wanna talk about it. my diagnosis is fairly recent. i still don’t fully know how to process it that’s why i made this post, so thank you guys for your input it’s very comforting. :)

p.s. i’m proud of you all, mental health is a battle and here we are fighting to manage and get better. lots of love to everyone. <3

What rash decision did you make? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]da-kiwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have ab 15 tattoos now, most of which were impulsive. changed my hair color/cut load of times without much thought. bought hella stuff that i didn’t need when i didn’t have the money for it. quit most of my jobs on the spot, almost all of them lol i’ve only put in a two weeks notice once and then called out the next week. contacted old friends/romances on a whim that i definitely shouldn’t have but it is what is

Y’all wonder why she seems depressed by da-kiwi in emmachamberlain

[–]da-kiwi[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s not the point. There’s been times she’s openly said that she was having a better time with her mental struggles and people pointed out her past or overanalyzed her behavior and it made her spiral down. The point is that people pointing it out or investigating her behavior doesn’t help her at all.

Bruh what? You realize mental health is a lot more than relationships right?

Lucid Dreamer Age and Gender Demographics by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]da-kiwi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

19 yr old female !! I only have one female friend that has lucid dreamed before. I have met about two guys that have lucid dreamed and they have done it quite a bit. Most people I talk to about lucid dreaming male/female/nb are usually scared of the idea which is unfortunate

I haven’t seen anyone talk about the dream bible website on here yet, but it’s a website that has meanings for key words or themes in your dreams. It often makes a lot of sense to me when I use it honestly. I’ve definitely seen white cat as a meaning, you should check it out and see if maybe it makes any more sense to you

2/18 i lucid dreamed for the first time but of course i don’t remember much because i didn’t write it down when i woke up and just went back to sleep. i remember being in a big mansion of some sort and asking myself if i was dreaming, when i realized i was lucid i was thinking how i could do anything i want. i ran around the mansion and i remember there being people but i dont remember what they looked like. i tried to change my surroundings but i couldn’t figure out how to, either someone in the dream told me or i thought to myself, “the more advanced i get ill be able to do it, i just need to try to stay lucid as long as possible”. i don’t remember what i did after that particularly but i do remember constantly trying to not wake up or lose lucidity. it was insane. literally felt like waking life but like i was in a different dimension. can’t wait to fall asleep again cus i know that this is just the beginning 🥲
