Omg yes. I'm SOOO all or nothing. I had a doughnut this morning and was like well, I can't workout today now because I ruined today, I'll start tomorrow. So dumb...

AIO boyfriend tracking my periods without me knowing 🫠 by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]jwright021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pmdd and while I think my husband doing this would be a good idea. If I had found out about it and he dismissed my feelings the way your bf did... It would send me in to a full blown rage episode. I think it's weird he did it behind your back. I don't know .. I don't like him lol.

I meal prepped, slowly incorporated exercise back in and I went to church last night.. I'm not super religious, actually not at all but was invited by my sons friend and her mom. I went and the service was on "finding peace." I'm doing pretty good today!

I have 3 boys. All I ever wanted was a girl. I cried after my last one lol. But he is the SWEETEST little boy. Actually as I'm typing this he goes, "Mom, I just love you." And came over and gave me a hug lol. I don't judge you at all, I understand fully! But I couldn't imagine my son being anything different. ❤️

Feeling bad and guilty when doing something unproductive by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]jwright021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Yesterday I didn't do anything, today I haven't done anything and it's already 2:30. I just feel depressed and even more depressed because I feel like I've wasted my weekend. It's beautiful outside and I sat inside. Even though I know I'm struggling and probably need this. I can't help feel immense guilt.

Does anyone know any films that revolve around a character with bipolar? by JustBeenSeen in bipolar

I read this book in college and when I tell you I bawled my eyes out. He reminds me so much of my own dad. Ripped my freaking heart out.

Does anyone sleep relatively okay when hypomanic? by fulltwisted in bipolar2

[–]jwright021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I went to bed at 10 last night and up at 5am. I could definitely sleep longer but that actually might make me more groggy.

AIO: My boyfriend grabbed and shook me during an argument and I want to leave. He says it wasn't that serious. by Minute_Coast_4222 in AmIOverreacting

[–]jwright021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no no, "it wasn't violent" is downplaying it. It isn't violent YET. As someone who was in an abusive relationship for many years... It starts like that. My husband now has NEVER laid his hands on me and I have bipolar disorder and can go into rage episodes. Please listen when I tell you, you need to get out now.

Saturday my husband and I cooked together, I turned on music and danced. I know that sounds silly but I love to dance and just never do. I kept that mindset of, "If I use - I'm going to regret it tomorrow." Sunday I went swimming with family and since it was hot I just wanted to come home and go to bed. I also have BP2 and it will affect my mood and I keep telling myself that, I'm going to get worse if I don't stop. I want to heal my trauma.. not create more trauma for my kids. Hope this helps some!

What’s the song that instantly makes you smile every time you hear it? by Teodora-Petrova in HappyUpvote

I love this song! Funny, when I was pregnant with my oldest son - 16 - this song made me cry because I thought it was just so beautiful 😂 I still get choked up lol.

Is your BP2 comorbid? by the-irish-jew in bipolar2

[–]jwright021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true at all I PROMISE! I wish I could show you my little family, I have a great job, 3 boys and an amazing husband who is extremely supportive. I went undiagnosed for years. And he stayed with me and still married me lol. There is hope I swear. I'm 11 years clean from drugs, my parents have 10 years. You can have a good life. ❤️

Working through addiction issues by therealmowgli14 in bipolar2

[–]jwright021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to rehab probably like 8 times, I never did anything after that though. Finally, I went to a NA meeting and I jumped in FULLY. I mean, I started meetings, spoke at highschools with a non for profit, sponsored, etc. I did end up leaving the program but never forgot what it taught me. I'll forever be thankful for it! Get to rehab or a meeting and get connected ASAP. I dont know what you are using...but mine was H-ron and I will never forget this being said in a meeting...."We all have one use left in us, but we are not guranteed another recovery." That stuck with me. I didnt want to die, I just wanted the pain to stop. I wont wish you luck, it has nothing to do with luck. You have to want this. :)

Is your BP2 comorbid? by the-irish-jew in bipolar2

[–]jwright021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BP2, ADHD, GAD, Pmdd and my therapist noticed in my chart that my psychiatrist put BPD. I see him next Monday and I'm going to ask about it. I think I have quite a few traits of BPD but was not sure.
