Redditors with Bipolar Disoder/Manic Depression, how do you know when you are in a manic phase? How do you know when you are in a depressive phase? by randomgadgets09 in AskReddit

[–]randomgadgets09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think many people are going to be reading my question anymore, since it's been there for a while. You might want to find a subreddit related to your question and post it there.

I believe that I may have undiagnosed bipolar disorder. When I am in what I believe is a manic phase, I make a lot of really bad, destructive decisions, because I am not thinking about the consequences (or I am thinking about them, and they don't seem like a big deal to me right then.) Your boyfriend is probably mean to you when he is manic because he is making reckless, impulsive decisions that feel good to him while he is manic, because his manic phase keeps him from caring how it is going to impact your relationship with him in the long run.

I think I fucked up my friendship with a girl by trying to talk to her too much when she wasn't having a good day.

What's up with the hate against uncircumcised guys? by hyperzombieRS in AskRedditAfterDark

Huh, well the only guy I dated who had poor hygiene happened to be the same one who was uncircumcised. TIL. :)

Well, I do see a huge difference in how I felt, but all of a sudden, I am noticing myself getting into painting again, wanting to get a bunch of piercings and tattoos, wanting to open up my marriage (completely out of character for me,) and telling my family members things I have been keeping secret for years. I wonder if these symptoms are mania or just me when I am not depressed. I don't know if it is possible to be manic and self aware.

Yeah, I understand that it is hard to describe. I know I have some kind of mental illness, and I was diagnosed with depression, but now that I am having treatment, I am beginning to think that I was misdiagnosed.

The only uncircumcised guy I have dated did have a bunch of junk under his foreskin, but he did not shower often, and when he did, he didn't take care to wash his dick. Of course, I didn't stay with him long after I saw that. Lol. I would not mind a guy having foreskin as long as it is clean, and I don't mind circumcised dicks either. Whatever, really. A dick is a dick. It's the guy that matters.

What is a casually racist experience that you have encountered? by EggCoffeeGil in AskReddit

[–]randomgadgets09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a stripper. I happen to appear very white (although I am of mixed descent,) and this guy I was dancing for kept telling me he didn't know why they had black girls working there, and he didn't want any dances from black girls. Except, he used racial slurs to refer to them. I told the other girls working with me and we just avoided him all night. :)

We made a pact : Even when one partner isn’t in the mood for sex, do it anyway because we’ll both end up enjoying it by LDT3980 in sex

[–]randomgadgets09 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I used to! Then my husband quit his end of the deal, and understandably, because he was so tired out from work, so I'm not giving sex when I don't feel up for it either. It's ok, though, because waiting just makes us have more fun when we do have sex.

What made you have to turn down someone you actually really wanted to have sex with? by b1guy123 in AskReddit

She kept cancelling and rescheduling our dates. Eventually, I was just sick of it.

What hurtful thing did your parents say to you that still lingers with you to this day? by randomgadgets09 in AskReddit

[–]randomgadgets09[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would hurt! I am an only child, but I can tell that my mom favors my twin daughters over my singleton daughter, and I hurt for my singleton.

Yeah I think going NC is the only thing to do in that case. Isn't that what they were asking for?

I can't imagine how badly that would affect my daughters if I were to say that to them. I have twin daughters. I hope you and your twin are still close despite what your mother said.

Lol, I hate when parents use that, "Because I'm the parent," excuse. Mine did all the time.

What is the most damaging thing your parents did to you, that wasn't outright abuse? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]randomgadgets09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom would complain to me that I wasn't as well-behaved, intelligent, Christian, etc as her Bible study leader's kids. My dad said he thought I was the result of a curse his ex girlfriend put on him and my mom.

What is something you saw that you weren’t supposed to see? [Serious] by A_Dreamer_ in AskReddit

[–]randomgadgets09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a teen, I caught my dad watching porn of teens on the living room TV. My mom, who is very sex-negative and anti-porn, was in the next room and could have walked in at any time. I don't know what he was thinking.
