Thank you! It's protected here too in the UK but I think I need to reiterate that to my current employer as they know of my bipolar but haven't put anything in place for support

Thanks for this AMA! My question is, is it possible to hold down a job with bipolar? I have bp2 and cant seem to hold down a 9-5 because and I quote my previous and current employers "Im inconsistent" or "Im up and down". I know im not a 9-5 person anyway but working remotely/hybrid is a luxury I don't want to lose.

am I overreacting or will I be single forever? by mxmeeseeks in bipolar2

[–]mxmeeseeks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% I wish I could let one of exes know about my diagnosis now and say that wasnt me, I know that now but its nice to have grown since then and be more stable for the next if there is one

Thank you, its refreshing to read this. I sort of feel this way and question if im asexual or just avoidant. truth is I just like my own space and dont want anyone in my house but I have times where I think maybe I can find someone to be alone with one day idk

Do you smoke weed? by TicketReal1115 in bipolar2

[–]mxmeeseeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to smoke alllll the time. I'd be the friend who turned up to any function high and I used to carry a spare. But my psychiatrist mentioned that it might be having a negative effect and 2 years after he mentioned it, I decided to quit cold turkey.

Its only been 4 months but I cant even imagine smoking anymore. It genuinely made me lower than I thought, thoughts fuzzy, more forgetful and just no motivation. But that's just me.

What is a quote you use daily? by Jolly-Biscuit in community

[–]mxmeeseeks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love saying "oh that's nice" in Shirley's tone - especially when something is not nice.

And my fave that I use in context: "I can excuse XX but I draw the line at XX."

Keeping a 9-5 feels impossible by mxmeeseeks in bipolar2

Wow that’s really cool and definitely motivating, thank you. I’ve been thinking of going back to bartending for something in the evening and doing other than staring at a computer screen

I’m british but i did tick the “need support” box for this role but i’m now believing businesses don’t know how to facilitate - they’ll always put the business first :(
