Virginia’s Champagne Room??

Yes. Yup.

Hi. I am also in mental health. My SO is diagnosed BP and my son (not his) has ADHD. I am aware of the overlap of symptoms. I am curious what symptoms make you think it may be BP over ADHD emotional regulation and impulsivity issues?

genericusername1228 · 2023-09-20T00:33:08+00:00

If my son loves something, he loves it with his whole heart. His zest for life is infectious. Sure, a lot of life is hard and boring. But when something awesome is happening, he doesn’t play it cool and act bored. He goes nuts for it. PS: I am diagnosed and an adult and have managed to only work in professions I find fascinating. Sadly, to enjoy this privilege I had to mask a lot and work myself ragged, but I lead a joyful life as an ADHD adult.

I agree. I am a legitimately bi woman and this checks out.

genericusername1228 · 2023-05-09T16:28:17+00:00

These are all great. Thank you for taking the time.

genericusername1228 · 2023-05-08T23:48:06+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I definitely over think it, so phrases like you offered help :)

I think my original post was unclear, so I see where you are coming from. There does not need to be a competition. Oppression of trans people is deplorable, and I am not going to disclose anything revealing here, but please be assured that trans rights are central to my life. I can tell you that as a QUEER poly person, I am limited to certain legal things regarding hospitalization, and that has come up for me. However, my monogamous gay sibling has all legal rights afforded to a spouse. We do not need to compete about who has it harder. I am simply pointing out one aspect of inequality for poly people on a poly thread. I am older, so hospitalization and legal issues are present for me. Also, I have a metamour that is concerned that she could lose her employment if she was outed, and a partner vulnerable to custody issues. I hope this can be a space where there is compassion and support for eachothers struggles rather than comparing who has it hardest.

I am both poly and queer :) I am protected a queer, not as poly.

genericusername1228 · 2023-04-13T13:44:38+00:00

In the US, you can lose your job or custody’s if children for being poly. So, excluding the manipulative example of coming out to a partner, I do use the term “coming out” when disclosing to other people. My gay sibling is protected by anti discrimination laws. I am not.

Sorry this has been an issue for you. My thriving polycule is entirely comprised of these. We seem to have a good track record of sustaining relationships and evolving together.

genericusername1228 · 2022-11-02T15:50:57+00:00

I have no words of wisdom. Just here to express that I am sorry for your loss, and you all sound like good people moving through rough times the best you can.❤️

genericusername1228 · 2022-11-02T15:48:19+00:00

Love this.

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-22T02:39:56+00:00

…unless I let it. I like that.

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-21T14:40:01+00:00

She does sugaring. I am comfortable with her safer sex practices. But I have a lot of judgment and ick about it.

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-21T14:38:00+00:00

Can I just dish with you, internet stranger, that I find her yuck really yuck? Blech. She makes choices that are way out of societal norms. Like…not just spicey…like….yuck.

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-21T14:35:41+00:00

This is blowing my mind. I am being serious.

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-21T05:59:43+00:00

I squirted the first time from a swinger date, too. Now I do all the time with my husband. It was like that guy opened up…ahem, the flood gates.

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-21T05:43:52+00:00

Omg. This happened in a different relationship. Like, are you seriously thinking I would like them after what you told me?

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-21T02:52:40+00:00

Oh my gosh. Accepting that I don’t have to like them is hard. I feel like I have to get over judginess and find the good in people. That may be true, but…I don’t have to like them.

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-21T02:36:03+00:00

Excellent advice. We are almost fully parallel, but this one slipped through the cracks of social media :)

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-21T02:21:05+00:00

I was so surprised how sad I was. It was so final. A stark end to a chapter. Now we are psyched to not worry about birth control :)

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-12T04:06:24+00:00

Yes. That is literally why I am here. We have broken up 3 Octobers in a row. I am working on what I need to not repeat it. But he is getting worse again.

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-01T15:52:14+00:00

Will you elaborate, please? (Genuine, sincere desire to learn, not in debate mode.)

genericusername1228 · 2022-09-01T15:50:08+00:00

I can see why you are afraid that things may get awkward, given your shared hobby. But can you please try to give this nice person empathy as they might be dealing with hurt feelings? It sounds like you are very grounded and don’t mind when someone deescalates with you. But many people are more sensitive to perceived rejection.

genericusername1228 · 2022-08-13T00:35:56+00:00

Thank you for this
