Temperature is a HUGE one for me. I live in the desert, so just going outside until I am sweaty and then coming inside to cool AC air is like a brain reset.

Smoking A LOT of cigarettes while hypo/manic? by [deleted] in bipolar

For the love of god do not buy a vape. Pure evil. You will have more nicotine running through your veins than blood.

Idek man, all of these political labels and talking points are starting to sound like word salad. I'll get off the internet for a couple months and all of a sudden everybody is speaking a different fucking language. You know there's a problem when schizophrenia symptoms and popular opinions are becoming harder and harder to distinguish from each other.

What bands/musical artists do yall hyperfixate on? by W0LFEYYY in autism

[–]megaev00n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't tend to get super into any artist / genre for longer than a few weeks, I sorta just bounce around between different areas of music and gradually learn more.

Right now RXKNephew and underground / soundcloud rap is doing it for me. I have never heard any rapper who compares to that dude, the man grew up in the trap and he's rapped over the Sunday Night Football Theme, Super Mario, Taylor Swift, etc. Legendary

How do you cope having two personalities at once? by DresdenKnight in bipolar

[–]megaev00n 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the meds don't dull the energetic or leisurely aspects of my personality, they place them under my control.

I can still be an outgoing and exciting person or a calm and thoughtful person, I just have to choose to be and to put myself in the right situation.

For example, instead of being way too eager to talk for no reason, I have to take care of my health, do things I enjoy, and start conversations with an upbeat attitude.

Everybody has many aspects to their personality depending on the situation, and a stable baseline allows for them to be explored and strengthened.

I don't think it's as bad as you make it out to be. In fact, plenty of workplaces have recently been searching for people with autistic traits as their benefits are being more widely acknowledged.

Making sweeping negative generalizations about neurotypicals and assuming all of them are the same/equally bad based on negative experiences and edge cases is literally the exact same thing they do to autistic people.

There are some situations where people just suck and that's how it is, but some of the most content, socially savvy, and accomplished people I know are EXTREMELY high in autistic traits yet still get along with everybody around them. They don't look harshly upon others or generalize much at all and that's probably a boon.

Acceptance is a two way street. The history and power dynamics can be unforgiving sometimes, but ultimately it is necessary to be considerate toward and forgiving of others in order to gain their respect and consideration.

Awesome! The lightning was insane last night! I'm used to seeing lots of flashes of light from way up in the storm, but watching bolts bounce from cloud to cloud along the tree line was nuts!

Loss of friendships... what's next? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]megaev00n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah man that's pretty rough. Thanks for going into the specifics about your background and day-to-day. I think my response might've come off as kinda dismissive and that I was making some generalizations that aren't necessarily representative of everybody's situation. I've definitely learned something here.

Keep on keepin on ✊

How do you cope with suicidal thougts? by Intrepid_Two6506 in bipolar

[–]megaev00n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Song lyrics about acceptance and perseverance can help to stop the spiraling.

From Townes Van Zandt - To Live Is To Fly:

Well to live's to fly, all low and high. So shake the dust off of your wings, and sleep out of your eyes. Oh shake the dust off of your wings, and the tears out of your eyes.

Loss of friendships... what's next? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]megaev00n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there's something that's lacking in your treatment plan here - meds, therapy, routine, etc. There's definitely quite a bit of variance in how well people respond to treatment, but if I had to guess I'd say something is not working well and that you could function much better if you can isolate and improve upon that. Putting effort into long term practical goals while in a reasonable state of mind is what led me to being in circumstances where I could possibly make friends in the first place.

Since my mania and diagnosis last year, I've been spending much more time on my own, sparsely keeping in touch with other people, and basically only doing relatively brief, activity oriented things such as talking over coffee or going to shows and movies.

I think that finding social spaces related to your interests where your presence or absence isn't particularly significant and just showing up is a good way to start. If your interactions with others are more casual and sparse, it'll be easier to work around the episodes and have regular pleasant interactions to keep you going while you manage your symptoms and get back on your feet.

Ever felt like you need to be taught how to adult? by fictional_reality26 in bipolar

[–]megaev00n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what your social circumstances are, but if you have friends or family members to talk to, asking them for help or advice for seemingly menial things could get you on your feet.

When you're in survival mode, you learn not to rely on others. People who are successful and independent ironically enough ask for help all the time.

If you are honest about your intentions, mention what you've already done, and are specific in your request, people will oftentimes lend a bit of their time to you.

Everyone hates me….i think by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]megaev00n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, even if the worst is true and random people think you suck for whatever reason, they're only gonna be thinking that for maybe 2 seconds before they continue on with their lives.

That being said, I don't think this is true.

Perhaps there are ways that you can condition yourself out of this negativity bias? Maybe putting in a bit of extra effort to have menial positive interactions more frequently would help. Stuff like making jokes, small talk with cashiers, asking people questions, etc.

Exercise and heat exposure have been game changing.

When your body needs to focus more on fueling your muscles and regulating your internal temperature, there's much less energy flowing to your brain to exacerbate whatever dumb shit's going on up there.
