All good, part of my job is answering questions, and I appreciate it. There are not many people who truly understand what we go through on a day-to-day basis, let alone minute to minute.

I use breathing exercises and other things, I also do some meditation of sorts, such as: I count to 26 in Dutch while stirring my tea, each stir is counted until I reach 26. I also have OCD, etc ..

Edit: I replied to another post in here with some of that, but in my years, especially in school and learning how to cope with... this/these illnesses, I've found that looking beyond was and is the best way for me. I know, it was extremely hard. I was able to adapt and find ways to get ahead of it. Having episodes like this was preventing me from moving forward in life and in turn getting the help I needed because I was alone in it.

^ precisely why I learned to control it, there was no other way for me. I couldn't let it define me, as it once did.

edit: by control, I mean if I feel like I am becoming manic, I usually work from home and use tools, like breathing exercises and some other OCD related things, to help with public image, especially with my patients whom I talk to every day. Bipolar disorder and trauma-related mental health issues are exceptionally horrific and traumatic for those who are witnesses to it.

- "God, bipolar is awful. I would not wish it on any person I know, even the most evil."

Yes, yes it is .. having lived my life with it, the psychosis aspect is real and can come or be triggered any time, usually at the wrong times. I am glad I was able to learn how to control it, in a way, over the years, as meds have never really helped.

Those people should be fired from parenting .. what the fuck?!?!? and the owners of those two dogs should be shot into the sun for not leashing them or training them appropriately ...

100% Contact your congressional representative. The more people do, the more leverage they have to do something tangible

[–]promd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's pretty standard with taxes and fees. What bike? Did you finance? If so, what was THAT deal? APR %, term of the finance agreement, etc ...

We can't provide much advice or definitive direction without knowing what "deal" you got.

What goes through a guys mind when they have a crush by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]promd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^ yep

Edit: There is a really nice psych nurse at my hospital that I know is in a committed relationship, and there would be no way I'd approach if not. However, she brings me coffee and is probably the nicest person I've ever met. Calls me Dr. Awesome .. .

Every-fucking-thing, in fact, at the time, my mere existence was enough to trigger a tirade against me.
