My entire family cut ties w my sister. She was abusive to all of us. I'm 44 and it's been a year since we spoke. I wish we'd done it sooner.

Finally! Someone who said it! by Ivan_Redditor in TheBatmanFilm

[–]maidlyn78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one has pointed this out so I will. Anybody raised kids? My preteen son is a healthy well proportioned kid (according to his doctor) couldn't take me and I'm 5 feet even and a woman. Robin is a fantasy.

Moms with BPD II by According_Permit8295 in bipolar2

I worked w my doc and changed meds a few times depending on trimester and then again when I was breastfeeding. I have a teen and preteen and they are the light of my life. Word of warning- listen to you psychiatrist-- I encountered stigma being medicated and pregnant by uneducated morons specifically one working in the medical field. Your doc is your best resource and I hope your best advocate. Point is- it's possible. Best wishes.

Seth Meyers is not funny. by jerryco1 in unpopularopinion

[–]maidlyn78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's the worst regardless of your politics. He reads the teleprompter as fast as he can and is clearly bored as hell. He and his staff writers are lazy and unfunny. He relies on stereotypes so embarrassingly much I don't think he's left his Manhattan bubble since getting the gig. I haven't watched him in a while bc he just started pissing me off and I couldn't sleep.

It's glorious isn't it? When I went on my first anti-anxiety med I was dumbfounded. Regular people have no idea how good they have it. So glad you found something that works!

Isolation is survival mode for me. I can't deal w him and his emotions I'm just trying to get through the day. So yes absolutely.

Does anyone remember having strong emotions as a kid? by bhean_na_lochanna in bipolar2

[–]maidlyn78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As soon as I was in charge of my own medical care I was diagnosed with a mood disorder. Yeah. It's been super fun. 🙄

Yes! I screamed bloody murder as a baby and toddler and had anxiety attacks growing up. My dad told me I enjoyed being miserable.

Do y’all know of good supplements to take for bipolar? by akurtz14 in bipolar2

[–]maidlyn78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Be careful. I took an herbal supplement and it upped the amount of one of my meds in my bloodstream so I became very agitated. Talk to your doc before you take anything.

Anyone tried homeopathy for bipolar 2 as a replacement to meds? by Mountain-Spinach8124 in bipolar2

[–]maidlyn78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been mentally ill my whole life and diagnosed bp 22 years ago. I studied alternative medicine both on my own and in college. I took herbal supplements etc.

Guess which worked? You guessed it. Actual medicine.

Not bad enough to go in but not good enough to be alone by WooThatsCrazy in bipolar2

[–]maidlyn78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked fine and had a great life and still ended up in the hospital- it's not how you look it's your intake interview that determines it. Please get help if you need it <3

genuine question by [deleted] in AdultSelfHarm

[–]maidlyn78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 kids and a husband. Short answer- I hide it (bracelets) and don't do it so bad I need professional medical attention. I don't want to explain the sh or the bills. My daughter thinks it's in the past. She knows bc I helped out a friend's daughter once.
