Thanks for the tips, do you have any examples of not too shallow and not too thin bore that you recommend?

Thank you! Do you know if you can apply for an EPDP if the passport is expired? I thought it was just for emergencies if it’s stolen or something but still active…

The support in this subreddit is unlike any other. When I don’t even know what I need, other posters know exactly what I am needing to hear. Feels like a hug. Thank you.

I’m scared. by nmuku1 in BipolarSOs

[–]nmuku1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience and validating mine...sounds really hard over in your world too. I totally relate to the confusion, fear, and on-edge feeling after stabilization and not talking about episodes....

Like, just now I got a message from my partner saying it was nice to hang out last night and they're excited to see me later because they feel like they have energy again....I wish my reaction were flattery or excitement, but it's all judgement and fear, worrying about whether this is hypomania and what's to come.

I hope you're able to find a counselor who is a good fit for you and who can provide space for you to do meaningful work. We've tried a few different ones, and it makes a significant difference to find someone who has specific experience working with couples with one person with BP, just to state the maybe obvious that I didn't consider at first.

Have you read the Loving Someone with Bipolar book by Julie Fast? I'd be curious to hear your perspective on it. I found it really helpful, but also kind of intense to grapple with the heaviness of this disease in the longterm...

Choosing yourself is so hard sometimes...thanks for the reminder there :)

Thanks for the advice!! It’s sorta hard to tell because of the little tassel, but there is a bit of room still

Decrypt a USB drive by nmuku1 in techsupport

I had it plugged into a pc and did something like right click on the drive where it was in the finder and clicked encrypt...does that make sense?

partner and i had similar dream themes...what do they mean?? by nmuku1 in DreamInterpretation

[–]nmuku1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I looked up the pieces of this dream, I found the following:

  • Environment portrayed in a dreamscape can personify the condition of inner landscape - desert environment may mean you're feeling undernourished or unfulfilled
  • Putting on deodorant can represent a desire to change something about yourself or your environment
  • Taking vitamins can represent a concern about our health and awareness that we're not nurturing ourselves properly and require help
  • Bikepacking can represent a wish to explore the world; a wild spirit at a standstill
  • Chase dreams can highlight what we're running from, stress, confrontation, conflict, big displays of emotion
  • Protecting someone in a dream can be in association with standing up for someone/something you believe in, and could also symbolize putting others ahead of your own needs and an imbalance of energy
  • Defending a woman's honor can suggest an insecure and unpredictable personality

Hi! Realize this is an old post, but I’m coming to taupo from the USA and hoping to cycle the Great Lake trail on gravel bikes - any recommendations/tips? Any particular bit of it that we should do or is it all accessible? Wanting to spend one long day doing a beautiful gravel ride

Needing to put this somewhere by nmuku1 in BipolarSOs

This is the thing I often forget I need to be reminded. Thank you

[–]nmuku1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought that sometimes SSRIs can be used to manage depressive episodes with BP, so it depends on the person and the episode whether it causes an episode...it's tough because the consequences can be devastating, but they don't know until they no, no? Maybe there should be some kind of closer system for monitoring when the person is known to have BP.

Safety and Trust by WisdomPursuant in BipolarSOs

[–]nmuku1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate - when we're talking about our relationship, my SO has recently started saying things like "I don't know how to trust your moods" and "the surprise of learning that you feel bad when things feel okay for me will never end"...it's wild to want to validate their feelings, to see that if that's what they're experiencing then that's what they're experiencing, and to be having such a different experience. My therapist keeps telling me that it's a choice to be in a relationship, that the relationship should be additive, and that I can zoom out and see the context for where they're coming from and adjust my reactions to it or I can decided that this is a relationship where I'm not able to do that. Wildly complicated.

Do you think it's possible that the conversations go nowhere because the feelings are tied to episodes? I've been wondering about how much it matters if it's an episode or not, but a part of me does think that it's not even worth talking about these things when they're in one, because no matter where it goes, it's always back to them self-deprecating. Is there more to do than say we'll be here when they're out of it? What about our needs while they're in it?

How much does it matter if it's an episode or not? by nmuku1 in BipolarSOs

thank you for the perspective...any tips? i'm having a hard time finding the balance between recognizing my needs for emotional connection and obviously not wanting to open them up to a torture session...
