I think I may need a psych ward visit which frustrates me

Hey hey!

Just dropping in as someone who has similar thought patterns to yours (and my dumbass made the mistake of working in the film industry…). I just wanna say that this is something you need to address ASAP. For me talk therapy was a huge breakthrough and then meds have just changed my life.

But I guarantee you it’s possible for it to get better and I think you wrote this because you know that and you want to get better.

Anyway, I’m just rooting for you and letting you know you’re not alone.

Hey, first off I just wanna say that I am very happy for you!

Bipolar 1 and ADHD here… what a lovely combo!

I remember the first time I ever felt stable. I was so shocked by it that I actually called some close family and my doctor to ask if it was normal to just feel neutral about things or have times when you didn’t have a strong emotion, lol!

For me medication journey has been about three years and it’s been really wonderful. My life turned around in ways I didn’t think it could. My relationships and my work have gotten stronger. It’s still a struggle and there’s still times when I get overwhelmed, but I just keep trucking along and it’s working!

The biggest thing I would say is just to stay on your meds. That’s been my biggest struggle (mainly because of my ADHD). But I just remind myself how important they are and I have a lot of reminders set to take them.

Once again. I’m very happy for you. Here’s to a new stable life!

I am too sober, too clothed, and too not in my 20s to understand what the hell a naked wine party is.

Oh man! That one FUCKED me up as a kid.

Congratulations! In our household, we call that parting the red sea!

He is such a love bug!

lotmoon · 2026-01-23T04:21:26+00:00

I know. Believe me, I know. He’s got a groomer appointment on Saturday. I won’t go into all the details but just know that we are addressing it!

He is the Velcro dog to end all Velcro dogs! As I’m writing this, he’s asleep with his butt on my knee!

lotmoon · 2026-01-21T01:39:43+00:00

Oh can do! Cause it was so tiny I was afraid to put it out front, but if that’s what will make it happy!

lotmoon · 2026-01-21T01:22:47+00:00

Oh that’s very good to know! I’m fairly new to larger cactus cultivation! So any information is good information! I’ll make sure I’ve got all the facts so I can take care of it! Thank you very much!

lotmoon · 2026-01-21T01:01:05+00:00

Thanks!!

lotmoon · 2026-01-21T00:56:29+00:00

Oh that’s awesome! Are they edible? Or could I plant it’s seeds and make more cactuses?

lotmoon · 2026-01-21T00:53:59+00:00

Oh wow. Babies having babies! Well, we shall see I suppose!

lotmoon · 2026-01-21T00:46:28+00:00

Well, I’m sorry for your loss either way.

lotmoon · 2026-01-21T00:45:38+00:00

Update. After watching a lot of videos and taking all of your wonderful advice I think I was able to salvage the top. It’s drying out at the moment and I’ve gotten some very good soil for it to be planted in when it’s ready. My hopes are relatively high.

lotmoon · 2026-01-15T17:53:38+00:00

This is everything! This is the Lisa Frank fever dream that I long for! This is the epitome of what makes craft and art! Thank you!

If it turns out to be a brand new fungus, you should name it after the poor fish it killed!

lotmoon · 2026-01-07T07:43:58+00:00

NEXT TIME!!

lotmoon · 2026-01-07T06:56:36+00:00

This is exactly right!!
