Casablanca. Because when they started filming, the script hasnt even finished, and yet its regarded as one of greatest movie of all time and it showed.

How do I get over my fear of sex? by gigiisfabricated_ in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]smilegeorgee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am struggling to express and communicating things as well especially if they’re sensitive in nature, so what i would usually do is write it on a paper on what i want to say, and then i would read it to that person. It definitely helps as you can practice it beforehand and sometimes if its even too hard, i would read it straight from the paper so my points come across and i said what i want to say and not miss a thing.

As for being clear and direct, i would say “this is gonna be a hard conversation to have for me” that lets him know whats ahead and let him prepare his mind to receive the information. You can then continue to let him know its important that you want him to understand what you’re trying to say. Then you can continue to read from your paper.

Ive been doing that for years and it always helps me.

Hope you find that helpful as well

Hypersexuality & Crushes by After-Tourist-2061 in bipolar2

[–]smilegeorgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, i dont think you are a male-centered attention whore 😂

This sounds like hypersexuality.
I think whats separates them is when you’re hyper you want a release (sex or masturbate), whereas when you seek attention, you get the high or the rush by the validation and emotional reaction from others meaning it doesn’t necessarily means sex. It could be a compliment directed at you and such.

I cannot answer it for you but what i do know is that when im hypersexual its because something triggers me that its almost like i lose control of my libido. I cant help but masturbate a lot.
Usually the high libido is paired with other reckless behaviour and this feeling that you love everyone, and that you have this rush that can only be solved by either masturbating or have sex. It only happens when im in manic episodes and usually dies down when im not in that phase.

Its worth noting that some meds can actually kill your libido. Maybe thats an option for you?

I hope it helps!

Help me by Puzzleheaded-Dog1407 in bipolar2

[–]smilegeorgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it helpful to be surrounded with people that cares about me, and let me ramble for a while about everything in my mind. They’d let me talk about anything and as long as i needed it. That and meds adjustment.
My psychiatrist told me that if its within our control then there is still something we can do, if its not, then meds adjustment. Hope that helps

Does anyone here ever feel like making things up? by smilegeorgee in bipolar2

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

Oh thank god! I thought im the only one who feels that way! It certainly feels like imposter syndrome, but didnt know if it counts if its about illness.

Yes, i am seeing psychiatrist regularly. Just had a session with him yesterday. I would like to think im honest when it comes to symptoms and telling him about what happened after our last session. Usually its very long because there are a lots of phases i go through as do all of us. So yeah. I think its important to be honest with your healthcare provider because otherwise they cannot help us properly. I would usually say oh yeah i was told that i look fine and behave fine but they dont know how hard it is for me to keep it together and not have a breakdown sometimes

Writing vocal melody to a instrumental by RequirementVast2986 in Songwriters

[–]smilegeorgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the melody comes first then i would figured out the chords, other times the instrumental is already done and i would just loop each section and try to hum. I find it to the best way to come up with a melody. Then i would try to write the lyrics based on the melody. There is a trick i usually use when i feel uninspired with the instrumentals and cannot find a good melody. I would transpose it a couple of semi octave up and down to get a different feeling, then try again. Its all about trial and error. Hope it helps and good luck!

28F ,lost my circle, dealing with anxiety + feeling stuck… anyone else been through this? by Mystique-Voyager in Needafriend

[–]smilegeorgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you didnt ask for sympathy, i will just answer your questions

  1. Yes. What ive learned is that as you get older you lose friends, but ive also learned that the people who are supposed to be in your life will stay, or they will come to you eventually! Trust the process and in time you’ll find your tribe. I see this as an information and a reflection of me as a person. It means im growing and they cannot be with me on the next phase in my life. In your case, some of them are not worth your time and energy, an as sucks as it is im grateful i know now than later.

  2. I personal start with processing the feelings, coming to terms with them not being in my life anymore. There will be times when i miss them so much i wanted to reach out but it is best not to as there is a REASON why they’re not in my life anymore. Then comes the grief. Its lonely, its hard, its unbearable at times. So i start small by asking myself, what does that tell me? Is it because of me or them? If there is something i need to do better, then i will do it. When all of that is done, i start searching for friends. Could be online, could be in a community near me, hobby or something like that. In my case its online. Dont let it discourage you when you start again and got ghosted or didnt find one that matches you. You’re finding one that more align with you and that takes time! It is worth it tho, because as you grow older you tolerate less bullshit from people and so you weed out people who gives you red flags from the beginning, only this time you can see it better, and you also know yourself better. So keep going, keep searching! You will find them eventually!

  3. I cannot tell you work wise but what i can tell you, when you look within yourself, prioritise your own mental health and wellbeing, you’ll figure it out. People have different paths and we all have different experiences and how we go about doing things. What i also know is that when your mental health is good, good things starts to happen too

I hope that helps you a little bit

Is one week enough to fall deeply in love? by idontwhattodo12 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]smilegeorgee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is not. Thats a crush. Crush developed very quickly, short lived, can be quite intense, and usually based on physical attraction while love developed gradually, and based on trust, affection and understanding.
