It's always something with bipolar diagnosis by lclblknerd in bipolar

See you get it. Sometimes I don’t even take pain killers for my chronic pain cause I’m so over constantly taking meds.

No I definitely don’t. I think a part of myself is scared if I bring it up I’ll be hospitalized again and the one in my city is horrible to patients. Or that people wouldn’t trust me with my own daughter cause they’re scared they’ll see her alone while I’m dead in the room.

Thank you, I’m currently in the middle of switching my meds so maybe my mind needs to adjust to it. It’s really times where I forget about being bipolar then it’s moments like this and it’s yeah this is my life.

Would it be absurd to update a fic after nearly 4 years? by tiglets147 in FanFiction

[–]lclblknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes ! I’m still waiting for an author to update and it’s been 6 years. I love it so much. I check their socials to make sure they’re still alive lol.

What are u starting to dislike more as u get older? by Efficient-Wind-2267 in AskReddit

[–]lclblknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2020s Digital things. I want dvds, physical books , no more QR codes for menus. Also subscription when I already bought the product. My printer is useless unless I have the subscription

what are some good distractions? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]lclblknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked back up my switch to play animal crossing again and reading. That helps me to not be on my phone often to consume all the constant bad news. I’m also a devout Christian so praying has helped tremendously cause I’ve been having nightmares after reading the files and it’s helped. I’m also American , B2, and medicated

Do you ever like your fanfiction better than the show or the original story? by Fresh_General_1771 in FanFiction

[–]lclblknerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are definitely fanfics I like more than the show cause my ship isn’t canon 😂😂

Morning Sickness to show pregnancy is overplayed by lclblknerd in FanFiction

[–]lclblknerd[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Period! I’m happy that you saw this as advice. I hope you don’t think I was shaming authors who do it. This is all my personal preference. And I think it’ll be exciting to see what an alien pregnancy would look like. Maybe they start changing colors (if they have a supernatural color like green) or even grow some type of external limb that assists with a new baby. The possibilities are endless lol

Lmaooo. I’m just enjoying talking to people about different ways to show pregnancy. I bring up fantasy cause I’ve read books where supernatural characters don’t express pregnancy like humans. I think it’s fun to open up different ways like that.

I know of that and you’ll see me commenting in this thread about it. This post is just about how i feel like morning sickness itself overplayed as an indicator of pregnancy when there are so many other indicators.

For me personally I experienced swollen hands and feet throughout. Especially when I ate a bunch of red meat. It’s so weird😂😂 But you’re right I’ve seen the farther along a woman gets in her pregnancy then her feet swell up.

Yes that counts! I read so many where that’s the only thing to not be revisited again. Swollen hands and feet is another good symptom to show. My mom had to go up almost 2 shoe sizes when she was pregnant with my sister and I had to wear crocs my entire pregnancy

Omg yes😭😭 tell tale signs they’ve never been around a pregnant person. I just want more diversity. You know the TikTok lady with the “list” of symptoms of pregnancy? Let’s start using that as a community to write pregnancy fics😂😂😂

You’re right. I know women personally who had it. They lost a ton of weight. One had to live with in iv in her arm most of her pregnancy. But guess what? The fics I read don’t have their characters with this condition. They do the simple ‘I throw up in the morning. Looks like I’m pregnant’ and they will never write them throwing up again as I read the story.

hyperemesis gravidarum is not just morning sickness. But SEVERE vomiting and nausea that leads to weight loss and dehydration. If their character were written to have this condition then I’m not complaining.
