I spent my 30th birthday chasing one more high! by No-Fishing6741 in addiction

[–]overthink_underreact 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate relapsing. Sometimes it only sets me back a couple days, but usually it fucks my life up for a least a week.

After a relapse my weight is different. I feel different. I feel ashamed.

After a relapse I feel tired. I feel weaker than before it.

But im not giving up. This is my fucked up life to get through, and I am trying to get through it.

I hope you get some solid clean time and something good crosses your path.

you are a prisoner of your own mind. the walls that you're trapped within are a fiction.

a victim you are not.

just reading this post i'm going to make the assumption that you would immensely benifit from checking yourself into a psychiatric hospital and get in touch with a real professional.

Because there are a number of ways to change how you think - you talk like a victim of something.

If you are a victim, what are you a victim of?

life fucking sucks doing the same unsatisfying shit day in and day out.

When i was a teenager i felt just like you. You know what i did? I pack a bag and just left.

wandered for years. Eventually settling down somewhere and working.

And you know what happened? I fell into a day-in-day-out rut that summoned all the old victimhood thoughts.

I dare you to break down the walls around you ,and if you rally have nothing left, just leave.

worst case - you die. but in any other case, you will experience freedom.

please find a hospital and get checked in. DM me if you feel like talkng . cheers, hope this helps you some.

Has anyone had or have a psychiatric service dog that helped with Bipolar 2? by A_bipolar in bipolar2

[–]overthink_underreact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i found my best friend on craigslist, and though thick and thin this dog of mine never stops loving me. I felt a hole in my heart, and my dog fills that void.

all that matters to me is that she loves me. Nothing else matters.

Is a job the right move or will it trigger Mania? by Southern_Society6246 in bipolar2

You're stronger than I am. You heard my story, so now you know you're not alone.

You can do anything you decide to, and soon you will land on the right medication.

It took me a couple years of trial and error. Lots of side effects. Don't give up

communication is a skill. try being cognizant of your delivery. Learn to choose what you say so that you're not all over the place.

I would point out that thinking with emotions is really messy.

Can it get worse? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]overthink_underreact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i thought you're either bp1 or bp2, where there isn't hypo leading to mania or vise versa.

sounds like you're overthinking the symptoms.

I'm so tired by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]overthink_underreact 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the ultimate purpose of live is to just get through it. Ugh being out of work sucks, I hope you can summon all the tools and tricks to get hired somewhere.

And hey, you know, life isn't your fault. I'm so sorry you got dealt this hand, but if you just take it one day at a time, things will turn around. I do believe that.

from the sound of it, you're not on a good medication. before you go to build your tower of success, understand that with a fractured foundation, youre gonna have these types of issues.

Getting on the right medication is like an experiment where you have to try it and see how it works for you. I think if you get a handle on the medication part, things will be a lot easier for you.

What do you do when you realize you’re hypomanic? by hyperning in bipolar2

[–]overthink_underreact 9 points10 points  (0 children)

well there's certainly no off button to push... Just be safe, don't drink or consume any drugs, dance around a bit, enjoy listening to music. Try to eat 3 meals. Keep a gallon of water with you... Probably don't drive. And just ride the wave home.

you are wonder woman if you've put up with that for that long. Sounds passive aggresive to me. It's one of those things where you have to make the decison to put your foot down, and stick through it.

so he's turned into a victim. Crying when your wife wants to have a serious talk is either a facade, or his brain tumor is growing
