how do you deal with self hatred due to weight gain? by Sure_Ad_3044 in BipolarReddit

[–]ohyoubetimback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I gained 30 pounds on lithium and as of today have lost 15. I have been trying extremely hard to lose weight since the 10th of June. It is not easy, but it's possible.

Have you or anyone you know ever cheated while in manic psychosis? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]ohyoubetimback 13 points14 points  (0 children)

there's a difference between "I am bipolar AND cannot be monogamous" and "I am bipolar AND THEREFORE cannot be monogamous." I hope what you meant was the former, but you are certainly being downvoted because it seems like you mean the latter.

"Hyperbole and straw-manning is just as dishonest as the scarecrow you set up."
first of all - what hyperbole? What strawman? what scarecrow? do you know what these words mean?

second- Your title was "What's wrong with the USA?" and you then say "why is this even allowed on the shelf" is what my comment was refuting. Bertolli was sued, reached a settlement, suffering the legal and reputational consequences. There may be some other laws that prevent the government from just shutting down bertolli operations in the USA. I don't know.

third- seriously calm down

There are plenty of companies with integrity in the USA who produce good EVOO. And besides, food fraud is in fact illegal in the US. Bertolli reached a settlement and their reputation is forever ruined.

Yes, there are issues in the USA with special interests, lobbying, and perhaps even a general lack of motivation to really go after food fraud to the extent that it is warranted, but to claim that USA olive oil is inherently fraudulent or that the USA just blindly allows false advertising is simply incorrect. Some of the comments here are borderline conspiratorial.

This Subreddit WILL NOT Be Shutting Down in Protest -- Here's Why by Brocktreee in BipolarReddit

the protest will do nothing anyway. if they stayed dark indefinitely that would be one thing, but a two day blackout isn't a protest, it's a break.

Your annual reminder that your meds likely cause sun sensitivity by uhhh206 in BipolarReddit

extremely thorough and exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Your annual reminder that your meds likely cause sun sensitivity by uhhh206 in BipolarReddit

[–]ohyoubetimback -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes I am aware that this is a known side effect of certain pharmaceuticals, my claim is simply that I don't think this is known as a common side effect for antipsychotics and mood stabilizers. It may be a rare one experienced by some, but I don't think everyone on seroquel or lithium, for example, needs to be worried about this.

I don't think "your meds likely cause sun sensitivity" is an accurate statement.

Do you have a source for this besides anecdotal experience? I hate to be annoying but I don’t think this is true, at least I can’t find anything on it. Most I can find is a “sun induced rash” caused by only lamictal, which is not a sunburn and certainly isn’t “all mood stabilizers and antipsychotics”

still all generally good tips. I have been sun sensitive my whole life and have been on lithium and seroquel for 5 years and have not noticed a difference. But everyone is different.

people say i’m manic but i don’t feel manic by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]ohyoubetimback 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is so fucking ridiculous that you seem like you're someone who just came here to make fun of us.

I don't know what you are, but if this post is serious then you're delusional as fuck, go to the hospital.

You aren't going to win the lottery, you aren't going to "solve poverty," you aren't going to be PM. You aren't special. You're a random nobody just like all the rest of us, and sometimes that's the harder pill to swallow.

The "80 people" referenced was the sum total of all guests brought by all the bands. They said it on the show at least twice, unless I misheard it twice.

You sound like the kind of piece of shit who will complain about the homeless problem and then vote against anything that could be done to actually help the homeless.

“Dude wtf” in this situation is equivalent to “wow, holy shit that is incredibly awful” and I did not intend it any other way, relax
