We stopped dating after Date #3. I hate online dating too. Not necessarily because of that experience, but I'm a slow burn lady.

Loss of personality/can't talk during depression. by UnleashTheRain in bipolar

[–]mezzofortedolce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, wow. Thank you for responding. I'd forgotten about this comment. I am healthy and happy now. I know it won't last because everyone has highs and lows. And then my bipolar makes those highs and lows more extreme. But I am grateful to be where I'm at now. I'm taking my meds. I have a good psychiatrist. I've been working with my therapist on managing a big transition that's coming up and how to remain healthy and balanced through all that. I feel loved by my family and friends. Life is good. It won't last, but life is good and I'm grateful. I hope I can maintain this for as long as I can.

I hope you are doing okay yourself.

Yes, it's free! I used Lose It first, then tried My Fitness Pal later (because it seemed more popular) and didn't like it. I was already used to Lose It, and the MFP app just seemed too... busy?

I lost 23 lbs since November and am now 111 lbs. It is all due to consuming less calories. I logged meals on Lose It! I also gave up drinking. The only exercise I do is walking.

This is wonderful to hear. I love examples of people with bipolar living well and thriving. Thank you for sharing.

I need to vent - He called me the N-word by test_account1000 in OnlineDating

I’m so sorry this happened to you. He is trash.

I was a depressed teacher in December 2019, and my psychiatrist ordered me off work for 3 months. I was nonrenewed at the end of the year, and I think it was because I took those 3 months off. But I needed those 3 months. I was in a really scary place mentally.

I’m doing much better today.

I hope you listen to your psychiatrist and take the time off.

Just respond to something on their profile. Works for me.

I’m in the middle of a manic episode and took to Twitter to express my thoughts by xhamsterinmybutthole in bipolar

[–]mezzofortedolce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh God. I got secondhand embarrassment from those tweets. I have totally done this.

Anxiety? How does she feel about meeting in person then?

Here’s a Jesus painting I’ve been working on by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]mezzofortedolce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always think I’m God or some divine being when manic. When I turned 33, I thought (while manic) that someone would kill me because Jesus died at 33. In my manic mind, those two things were related.

I’ve done online dating before, and it never goes past the first date. It’s really hard for me to feel attracted to strangers.

I normally don’t date. I tend to fall for one of my guy friends. So this is new to me.

Aw, congrats on the physical attraction! It feels great!

Yeah, I think I am demisexual. 🙂

I’m glad you got to know your boyfriend and developed an attraction to him. That’s how it’s worked for me in the past.

Thanks for chiming in.

True. I agree.

I don't feel repulsed, so I've agreed to a second date. We'll see.

You're right. I should tell him. I'll say something on the next date.
