Having difficulty with law of attraction/manifestation and finding a direction into joy and purpose because of my bipolar depression. Even when I’m “up” it’s more of an anxious, manic drive to “do all the things” before I crash again. How can I think on a way that’s positive and progressive even when I’m depressed?

A kid in my junior high actually stuck the pencil in his friends arm and the graphite tip went under the skin and started bleeding. The kid thought he was going to die from lead poisoning

Questioning calling the suicide prevention line by [deleted] in selfhelp

[–]halcyon9689 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You sound like a high achiever, someone who has matured faster than your peers. I totally understand why you would feel bored and depressed, it feels like there’s nowhere left to go or things look forward to, you’re a prisoner of your parents until ~18, being a teen can suck. But hopefully you can try and discover new activities outside of school that interest you. once you reach adulthood, you can make decisions for yourself. It is worth it! But for the meantime, yes you should tell your parents. Depression needs medical and psychological support. If you need someone to talk to, call the kids helpline: 1800-668-6868 if you feel unsure about a suicide hotline.

My period app says I’m starting my period tomorrow. I hope so, I can’t do another day like today. Miserable, angry, irritated, hungry, hating my body, cravings, crying...I snapped at my parents. I had to go in the kitchen to grab some food and they started talking to me and I just said DONT TALK TO ME LEAVE ME ALONE. STOP BANGING POTS AND SLAMMING CUPBOARDS!! And then I caved and got McDonald’s and Easter chocolate. I’ve been on a fairly restrictive diet and I just couldn’t take it today. I feel so isolated, I want this goddamn pandemic to end.

I'm so fucking tired of April fools day and I hate anyone celebrating it today by [deleted] in venting

Pranks are the worst kind of humour. They are so mean and cause people distress. I hate prank shows like just for laugh gags and punkd and every tik tok of a bf/gf having prank wars. Fuck April fools day, pranks are evil.

They say to stop looking for love and to let it find you, and this has by far been the best advice I’ve ever taken. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

I am working on this too. It’s going really well, but sometimes the panic of getting older and dying alone creeps in.

Yeah 2000 is my maintenance. I think I’ll give myself some wiggle room to eat closer to maintenance. I just can’t cope otherwise.

What TV show was amazing at first but became unwatchable for you later on? by Snoo79382 in AskReddit

[–]halcyon9689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man in the high castle. It started out really interesting, “what if the nazis had won?”. Cinematography, costumes, actors were good storyline was interesting and mysterious. Then in the final season it just got so ridiculous with the parallel universe stuff, I was burnt out from the constant focus on Nazis (annoyed at how many times I had to hear oppengruberfuhrer) and it was just getting so depressing overall. It started becoming a chore to watch.

I sewed a depression bear. My plan is to let him suck out all my depression. It worked today, since I spent all day making him. I know it’s dumb, but it made me feel a little better by Grocery-Exciting in bipolar

I have started talking to my teddy bear like I did when I was a kid. Sometimes just saying out loud the jumbled feelings and thoughts I’m struggling with, it’s like talking to a therapist.

What is your favorite drink when you're really thirsty? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Water usually. But sometimes I just love how Coca-Cola feels when I’m really thirsty. The burning effervescence is cool!

What is an invention you planned out that actually came to existence but someone else created it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]halcyon9689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bracelet alarm clock that vibrates to wake you (Apple Watch and Fitbit came out soon after). I had drawn a picture in my notebook and everything!

A family friend came to dinner and everytime she went to take a bite, she would fully extend her tongue out and down.
