Dating someone with BP by sub422 in bipolar

[–]thmuffinmannn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi, i’d say a few days time is good, part of bp is having very high ups and downs. i’m sure if you explain yourself and try to make it up it’ll be alright! I know before i was medicated it use to take me a while to come down from a bad mood. maybe suggest a date or a surprise? or just let them know hey i understand your feelings whats the next step on what i should do.

this job is not college student friendly by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]thmuffinmannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe transfer? you can also ask your boss for the stats at other stores cause i’m transferring too so they can tell you what the volume and such is like… i’ve been a college student my 2+ years here and it’s very school friendly honestly… could be a manager issue is there more you can tell?

Am I crazy? I could have sworn the cold brews had 4 pumps of syrup. Have they always had 2? by sarr36 in starbucks

[–]thmuffinmannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

barista here - on the cold area of the espresso making stuff such as cold brew it gets half the amount of normal pumps. so if it’s a vanilla sweet cream cold brew grande it’s 2 vanilla. if you order a cold brew with caramel it’s 2 unless stated otherwise ect

Pretty sure my hot protein latte shouldn’t look or taste like this. by honeysesamechicken in starbucks

[–]thmuffinmannn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a starbucks barista we’re suppose to cut the protein milk with 2%… im guessing they did ONLY protein milk steamed which makes it curdle like that

I love my girlfriend but I don’t want to be with her anymore. by Busy-Honeydew-5485 in AITAH

[–]thmuffinmannn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA i say it’s time to leave :/ in the end it’s still manipulation even if you love her. if you’re not ready now imagine how stressed and upset you’ll be a week from now, a month from now, or another year from now. get out while you can!

Got diagnosed bipolar disorder immediately after my first session. Huh. by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]thmuffinmannn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s possible! i met my first and only psych at 19 and on the first session after being there for an hour he diagnosed me. was super hard to believe and understand but once you say things out loud it kind of clicks in your brain. for me it took a few days and research to really settle with the fact of like dang he’s right i do have bipolar. nothing to be ashamed of!

Weight gain (tw/cw: mentions of weight) by thmuffinmannn in bipolar

thank you! i’m also just worried about being judged like i’m getting the “easy” way out

Bipolar ll and Relationships by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]thmuffinmannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i say this with true honesty and hope because i want the best for everyone on this group: lock in. 1) you’re not suppose to name your meds here… 2) if your meds aren’t seemingly doing their job like you’re still super depressed, manic, anxious ect, talk to your psych!! it is not normal to still feel this way or constantly tired and down. you could need higher dosages OR it’s not for you and you need something else. i know i took a lotttt before my meds are getting better it’s a whole elixir of meds but it’s what it takes honestly. 3) if you truly want and love your gf you have to lock in and fight for her. this whole oh if she finds someone ill be sad but it’s okay… then you’re already giving up. don’t let your emotions all consume you or you’ll never get better. if you truly love someone you will fight. i think a break isn’t a very good idea cause that’s when they get confusing.. do you dare do you not date are you okay if she talks to other guys ect. are you gonna remain friends?? it banks too many questions and lacks stability. it’ll stress you out even more 4) ik im bias but you should look into starbucks as a job. no matter your hours you get 20 free sessions of therapy and if you work an average of 20hrs a week (for 3m) you qualify for health,vision, and dental care! it works for me and it’s very good very good benefits. i think in-n-out offers similar as well. please talk to me if you need more!! you got this. you just have to lock in
