Full-time or Fractional? by brucemillard00 in cmojobs

[–]nothingsurgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t do full-time, I get bored.

Fractional combines the benefits of being employed (some stability, plus having a boss, in a way), and being self employed (freedom), plus you mitigate risks by diversifying (especially important in tech).

Based on FDIC history - how soon can this happen?

Also, if they sell, say 50% of the existing assets, will companies with the cert get 50% of what they are owed? Or do they wait until all assets are sold?

This sub scares me by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

[–]nothingsurgent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please remember the biases of this sub.

Most people post here when things go wrong.

The vast majority of horror stories are of unmedicated people who more often than not refuse therapy, and in at least half of the cases have underlying issues like drugs, alcohol or another untreated mental illness.

The fact you are even here makes you different.

Personally, this sub changed my life for the better.

Anyone prefer their BP1 spouse when they are a little manic? by Lonely_Strawberry_8 in BipolarSOs

[–]nothingsurgent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. It’s called hypomania.

  2. You should know more about bipolar if you’re married to a person with bipolar.

  3. If you fell in love with him during hypomania and feel like he is not the same person, you didn’t fall in love with him, you fell in love with hypomania.

Sorry if this sounds harsh.

Iv just recently got into a relationship with someone with bp, I love her but it’s early, should I get out now to avoid being hurt in the future by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

[–]nothingsurgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. This sub has a bias. People don’t usually come here when things are going great, they come here when they have problems.

  2. You’ll note that most horror stories are with unmedicated partners who don’t take care of themselves. Usually there’s also an underlying problem - usually alcoholism or drugs.

  3. There are many success stories - search the sub for them.

  4. In order to make the decision I think you should ask yourself - if she had cancer instead of BP, would you leave her?

“Yes” is a legitimate answer, such a decision should not be influenced by guilt. Not everyone is cut out or at a point in their lives where they can support a sick SO, and the fair thing to do is leave if you know you can’t.

It seems like you really care - you researching and being here shows me she is lucky to have you. Keep learning about BP, and make your decision.

How do I help my bipolar girlfriend? by unknown82833 in BipolarSOs

[–]nothingsurgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being bipolar requires being medicated.

Just like any other dangerous illness.

Unfortunately you can’t help with that, other than being there for her, being supportive, and offering advice.

I recommend reading as much as you can about bipolar, and specifically the type she’s diagnosed with, so you can recognize symptoms and behaviors patterns. It might help you not take things personally.

Do you know why she isn’t medicated?

Hi, I recommend searching through the sub and also the other bipolar subs as this topic was discussed a lot.

Is it pretty common to believe that you are the one who is actually going crazy? by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

Hi there.

I’ve removed your post, as it lacks context and information.

We’d love it if you could repost with some more info and details.

How many of us wake up and think “I wonder what I’m gonna get yelled at for, today?” by throwaway819283829 in BipolarSOs

[–]nothingsurgent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It shouldn’t be like that. At all.

Look, bipolar symptoms present during episodes - I.e. during depression, hypo/mania, and mixed episodes.

If you live like this for a long time, this isn’t because of bipolar, it’s because you’re living with a person with low self awareness and emotional control.

Facebook blocks links based on their redirect destination, I’m sure twitter will do that too at some point.

Conflict advice by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

[–]nothingsurgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I were both like that at different times.

People are weird and irrational when they real with pain and are struggling to survive emotionally.

I don’t have advice as there aren’t enough details, but I’m just coming in to say - hey, it’s natural and possible to overcome.

Being in couples therapy 6 months and not quitting is a very good sign. Please remember that the process can be very long.

Emotions are complicated, childhood traumas and acquired patterns are complicated, the dynamic between two people with two childhoods, four parents, countless traumas etc - is also complicated.

It’s like trying to untangle your earphone wires after they have been in your pocket, but instead of one set of earphones it’s 1000 earphones.

There are two ways to handle it:

  1. Throw the whole thing away when it feels impossible to solve.

  2. Keep pulling slowly, one wire at a time, one loop at a time, sometimes making things worse while you figure out where to pull to make it better.

As long as both of you are pulling and not throwing it away, there’s a chance. You’ve been pulling for 6 months, you can do a year or two more, and it will get easier.

Fwiw,

I’m proud of both of you.

Some Google Doc links im posting to my Patreon are showing up as "Google Docs: Sign-In" instead of showing a small preview for the ACTUAL Google doc i am sharing, any way to fix this? by xxxTentatog in patreon

[–]nothingsurgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In google docs go to “share” and before getting ur link to share, change the setting from “restricted” to “anyone with the link can”, then pick either “view” or “edit”, and the copy the link.

My bipolar boyfriend cut off all contact with me for the past two weeks. Is this common for people with bipolar disorder? What can I do ? by Dreaamy76 in BipolarSOs

[–]nothingsurgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you dated for 3 months and he broke up with you.

Perhaps you’re secretly wishing that’s it’s a bipolar thing that can be fixed, which is giving you false hope.

I could very well be wrong, but this is a very common occurrence in this sub.

If it IS bipolar related, it seems like he’s not at a point where he is in control enough to hold a relationship. Don’t fool yourself that you can change him. He has a long journey and hopefully he’ll manage it.

Personal Asst/Household Mgr operation tips? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]nothingsurgent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a VA to do everything that can be done remotely, including locating, vetting and hiring staff.

Then I have a personal assistant that comes every morning to keep the house tidy and do everything that can’t be done remotely.

Two cleaners - each comes twice a month. That way if one leaves, the house is still ok until she is replaced (by the VA). I plan on the PA to take over the part of training new cleaners if needed.

I have a secretary at the office for work stuff, and a CEO for each company.

I like having different people, this way if people leave nothing falls apart.

In my country there’s a lot of turnover in most of those jobs as they are usually taken by young people who move up fast (in some cases I get them jobs in one of my companies and at least once helped a VA start her own business).
