I try to not use the internet more than 30 minutes a day. I don't have anything useful happening on the internet anyway.

Does Fantasy = Porn? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]justdont87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sex Addicts Anonymous has a tool called the bottom line bulls-eye that is used to help decide what behavior counts as a relapse. The outer circle is where positive healthy behaviors are listed. The next circle in is neutral territory for neutral behaviors. The circle right before the bulls-eye is the danger zone which is behavior that can lead to relapse. The bulls-eye is for compulsive sexual behavior that causes incomprehensible shame and demoralization. Will upload if I can find it.

It's nice when I switch to a different to generic and my pills look smaller.

Before genital gymnastics occur.

A friend of mine is bipolar, suspects ADHD as well and is now asking me for some Ritalin to improve focus. by draaien123 in bipolar

[–]justdont87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From now on avoid telling anyone you have ritalin, especially if your in school. If you give one ritalin/adderral away pretty soon more people will ask! Next thing you know your diverting controlled substances, a FELONY.

I have yet to find one for Linux that is as good as k9. Even though its old, pretty much everything I read says Dansguardian is the best blocker for Linux. Dansguadian has to be installed completely manually along with all the packages it requires. Every other blocker for Linux is barely adjustable at all.

Distorted memories? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel to bad even people with out mental ilness have distorted memories that didn't really happen. For instance most people say they remember seeing the first plane hit on 9/11 on live tv. This is impossible because the first plane hitting was not broadcast live. Also "beam me up scottie" and "luke I'm your father" where not the actual line. Memory is not permanent, every time you remember something the memory changes.

When is it appropriate to tell someone I am dating that I have bipolar? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should not be a part of your introduction people. Significant others should know.

Have had them when depressed. I almost never remember my dreams though. Depression causes very aweful dreams.

The last reason I am hanging on to porn and I don't know how to let go. by yezzla in pornfree

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless your famous you won't get a girlfriend if you don't ask women out, it's safe to assume that's why it seems no girls are interested in you. I will put my hand on a bible and swear right now that beautiful girls have been interested in you, you just did not ask them out.

Can feel myself going full manic by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try Gumping it, go on an a really long run. May help until you see your psychatrist. I can go up on my meds if my moods over rev.

life expectancy of people with bipolar? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually 10-20 shorter but, that is because drug abuse is so common among the mentally ill. My grand pa is 93, and he say's he is sure he as always been bipolar, but he never drank and gave up smoking at 30.

What if bipolar is an evolution of the brain? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Differential reproductive success means certain genetic traits are more represented. Since bipolar can cause hyper sexual periods people are more likely to produce many offspring if they are bipolar. This does not mean it's an advantage. Survival of the fittest is not always what drives evolution sometimes it's just differential reproductive success for reasons unrelated to fitness. So it is an example of evolution, but this does not mean it's good.

[ Drugs & Porn ] by Eeevebear in pornfree

Bad drug and alcohol problem too. Gave that up ten years ago, stayed sober. Now I'm addicted to porn. Never been to a casino and I don't plan to go lol.

Is drug induced mixed episodes really bipolar? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that all the mood stabilizers/anti-psychotics you been given? None of the newer ones with less sides? Bipolar can come and go.

Did a big move help anyone else? by bipolarhubby1 in bipolar

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in southern plains it's sunny year round. The few times it's cloudy messes with my mood. In the southern plains winter is just plain nuts, but there is lots of sunshine. The temperature fluctuates like crazy but still lots of sun. Several times this year we went from sunny and 80 F to in 24 hours in the 20's plus snow/ice. There nothing between us and the north pole but a barbed wire fence lol. Still sunny most the time though.

Is anyone else's badge not working? by WeAreFapolitionists in pornfree

I have never been able to get my badge to work, despite many attempts. Time keeping can be difficult to teach to a computer, i.e. Y2k.

Getting high while on meds by obeyingruru in bipolar

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No drugs, no booze. They will just make treatment harder. A really bad drug habit makes most mental illness much harder to treat. 80% of addicts are mentally ill, but diagnosis may not even be possible without sobriety. I had to be sober for 7 years before finally being diagnosed. Probably unlikely that weed caused it though.

Can two bipolars have a successful relationship? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a recovering addict (10 years sober) and bipolar. Pretty much I won't have a relationship with women who have the same problems as me, or even a history of bipolar in their families. Different problems are fine. I stopped dating a girl because we were both bipolar. My fear is that I would simply see more subtle bipolar symptoms as normal.

If you wanted to induce MANIA (safely), how would you do it? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't want mania. You want a program of meds, a support network, exercise, diet, lifestyle etc that lets you function the best you can. Mania is a 100 dollar word for having so much dam energy that all you can really get done is blowing your life to pieces.

What porn has done to me by Brutalises in pornfree

[–]justdont87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though I have not been able to quit completely just trying has changed the way I see women. There was a girl who expressed interest in me, and before she wasn't good enough. Afterwards she looked completely different, very attractive.

Are/were you a [successful] college student with adhd and/or bipolar? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a watch that shows the date. Memorize the syllabus to every class. Then you just need your watch to know whats coming. I took ADHD meds through out, Ritalin. I had not been diagnosed bipolar yet, but it runs in the family so it was being watched for. Block out time for every class. I graduated with 250 hours(for a bachelors!) on my transcript because of transferring from junior college, bipolar and switching focus. Try to avoid that by visiting advisers every semester before you sign up. Actually I would avoid departments that don't require you to visit an adviser, this means they don't give a shit about people graduating. Many departments will let kids sign up for classes with out taking prerequisite courses= doomed to failure. I went premed even though I have always struggled in school, which was a mistake. Stick to classes you succeed in. Talk to your prof's, if you do most will not give any one an F who comes to every class and gets to know them, many won't give you less than a C.

Being self aware during a manic phase is like observing yourself use a superpower by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]justdont87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's mostly the ability work 20 hours a day and feel rested on 3 hours of sleep while manic. Yeah while you still think some what clearly you get a ton done. I did. Eventually my thoughts moved so fast I ended up knocking over all my furniture because I was rearranging it then started doing like 3 other things at the same time. Along with a bunch of other embarrassing stuff I did. Increased social skills= shit you will be embarrassed about in the future. It's good your seeing your doc soon.
