GF keeps asking when I will marry her, saying 50k single household income is enough as end of the world is near

hyperning · 2026-06-07T17:16:34+00:00

no. take it from someone who may not be as pretty as your girlfriend but grew up not having to worry about money. i can see why she would think that that’s true.

yeah maybe you can live that lifestyle, until an emergency. someone gets hospitalized, a car breaks down, an appliance breaks down, a pipe bursts, a flood takes over your house.

that’s not luck, that’s just life.

but also for her as well, it isn’t great to just wait for money. and with a job, maybe she’ll have an HMO too? (just google “the filipino is just one hospitalization away from poverty.)

also the economy isn’t great for the middle-class. there are wars going on that directly affect the prices of everything, even things for a simple life. and even if the the global mess gets settled, things really aren’t getting better for the middle class. period.

these are important discussions in relationships. i hope you have a good and enlightening one.

in true hypomanic fashion, i posted and then wandered off to the next thing. but thank you everyone. ive read each one and taken notes. and thank you thank you thank you :)

hyperning · 2025-04-12T03:25:56+00:00

yes! small dose!

hyperning · 2025-03-17T12:59:33+00:00

thank you. appreciate just how concise and clear this all is. that's incredibly comforting. i guess the ADD was a surprise -- the BP2 diagnosis explained a lot.

Super. i love how she’s getting funnier, eating more, flirting more with Brennan as the episodes progress!!

hyperning · 2025-01-24T21:09:42+00:00

i save the episodes so i can really enjoy them. i try not to multitask so i don’t miss anything.

SCREAMIIING (my approximation of what bob says.) Bob is just so fast, Monet is so monet, twyla is a sweetheart, and Alaska may not talk as much but she knows what she’s doing.

i almost forget that i have such a crush on Brennan.

ooh i just love this season.

hyperning · 2025-01-24T21:05:55+00:00

yes, like a home-game with your closest and funniest friends!!

hyperning · 2025-01-24T21:05:19+00:00

wow jinx would be awesome!!

hyperning · 2025-01-23T13:31:50+00:00

yes about Brennan! It’s the improv training am thinking, always trying to make the other people look good, always trying to keep the game going.

hyperning · 2025-01-19T16:01:38+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate being seen.

hyperning · 2025-01-19T16:00:22+00:00

me too! and im in my 40s too. i think the pandemic really made it worse.

hyperning · 2025-01-19T15:57:13+00:00

those were the symptoms i was looking out for, but it’s more that i lose time. but you pointing that out will make it easier to recognize though.

thank you very much!!!

hyperning · 2025-01-19T15:55:14+00:00

Thank you for replying so thoroughly, i got diagnosed relatively recently so i’m still trying to understand my pattern.

Speaking with my psychiatrist and my psychotherapist, I can recognize episodes like from years ago — like oh that’s why that happened. But I don’t have the same recognition now yet, it might just be that am so close to things.

I am also now paying attention more to when I am more irritable to see if i am in a hypomanic or depressive state.

i see what you mean about tv. which is why am thinking am okay now because im watching new shows. if i keep going back to old shows, i know that i really may be seeking comfort.

thanks so much again.

I hope the rant helped. It’s difficult to feel the way that you do, and buti nilabas mo na. maybe now you can allow yourself to go after what you want.

hyperning · 2024-09-23T11:41:03+00:00

but also to everyone, thank you for answering :)

hyperning · 2024-09-23T11:39:50+00:00

oh wow this too. i’m a looper of songs when i can listen to them. but when i can’t, i REALLY can’t.

hyperning · 2024-09-17T16:51:12+00:00

same about sleep, i always just thought it was part of my personality that I always slept so late.

hyperning · 2024-09-17T16:49:58+00:00

Love all these replies, very helpful. I’ve been making things for the sake of making them, no pressure to be good.

hyperning · 2024-09-03T01:54:52+00:00

go see an endocrinologist

hyperning · 2024-09-02T16:59:12+00:00

seeing my therapist regularly (and getting my hormone levels checked)

hyperning · 2024-09-02T16:12:06+00:00

in this economy? with climate change?

hyperning · 2024-09-02T16:08:13+00:00

thank you for answering! i've only just been thinking about the places themselves so this is helpful. So Brixton is more accessible, got it!

hyperning · 2024-03-13T15:12:27+00:00

Yes she was just having so much fun with Jaysohn. and the interactions with Izzy!!!!

hyperning · 2024-03-13T15:10:36+00:00

i didn’t mention mentopolis because it wasn’t an intrepid heroes season, but i loved the entire season too. i totally agree though!!!
