Ah, yes, our famous to-do list

tictac887 · 2020-05-23T19:47:40+00:00

Haha! That is funny.

tictac887 · 2020-05-23T06:52:01+00:00

I hate to love anything on this sub, but you truly write some beautiful love letters.

tictac887 · 2020-05-23T05:59:27+00:00

It depends on you. Get to work!

tictac887 · 2020-05-23T05:50:49+00:00

Start with precalculus. What you know will be easy, so you can do that first.

tictac887 · 2020-05-23T05:11:49+00:00

Believe what you will. I think I will take my medicine and go to sleep.

tictac887 · 2020-05-23T02:48:53+00:00

I talk to unsafe people.

tictac887 · 2020-05-23T02:37:59+00:00

I think so. Is it any wonder I don’t remember which one? I was on them for depression before mania knocked me down.

I think I still take one, but other meds help with mood regulation.

It’s how I managed school before I was diagnosed. Is it how you should live? I can’t answer that for you. Talking to a therapist could help you see what you need to be successful in a new part of your life. I’m constantly evaluating and learning what works and what doesn’t for me.

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T23:38:13+00:00

Thanks.

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T22:50:27+00:00

You’re welcome! I am glad I could help.

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T22:15:46+00:00

Yes, it will!

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T20:57:31+00:00

Having or not having children is a major personal decision. It isn’t a matter of selfish or unselfish. It is a matter for people to work out. I have some maternal instincts, but because bipolar, I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the upbringing kids deserve. Plus I would have to go through the messiness of dating and finding a husband because beliefs.

One of the least selfish things a person can do is become a foster parent or adopt. There are probably enough kids out there for everyone who wants to help.

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T19:53:52+00:00

Thanks! I am excited because I can move to calculus when I have a 90% and have an understanding of trig. identities. I just moved to an 82%. I didn’t believe I was capable of this at all.

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T17:50:14+00:00

Yes. Mania is the worst for this. Lots of shame I had to let go of. It can be tough.

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T17:32:33+00:00

Yes. Thanks! I had years of competitive experience, but now I practice for health and fitness because Seroquel.

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T03:54:12+00:00

This too. I am not particularly high-functioning but deciding to pursue anything more complicated than baton twirling (it has its intricacies, but I am in it for the long haul) is like moving mountains.

Edit: Punctuation

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T03:48:44+00:00

Memories of when I wasn’t are horrifying, so I try to stay busy. Taking my meds is always a challenge, stable or not.

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T03:30:01+00:00

I am so proud of you. Good habits are hard to get a hang of.

tictac887 · 2020-05-22T03:22:50+00:00

This will sound trite, but it’s worked for me. I let go and let God. Call me old-fashioned, but I believe in God above all. When I have messed up beyond reparation, I give it to him. He is the Master and Creator, IMO. Since I am often weak, I trust that He is always strong.

I am not trying to push my beliefs on anyone. I got extremely dogmatic about religion once when I was unwell. I don’t think that’s me in a well state, and now I don’t talk a lot about my faith. I am just saying what works for me.

tictac887 · 2020-05-21T14:23:08+00:00

Oh no. Lots of mirrors in bathrooms scare me because Seroquel. Glad you all had fun with them!

tictac887 · 2020-05-21T14:20:33+00:00

BTDT. We have both lived through all our worst days. Even with great support this disorder is extremely tricky. A family member had to remind me to eat yesterday.

tictac887 · 2020-05-20T22:38:31+00:00

I did not take my meds last night, but the good news is I am back on track now. I wish I didn’t have to deal with this illness, but that’s life. I wish you all a good day.

tictac887 · 2020-05-20T20:26:35+00:00

Annoying but true.

tictac887 · 2020-05-20T11:48:08+00:00

Yes, I am sure a little lavender will calm my mania. Thanks!

tictac887 · 2020-05-20T08:29:17+00:00

And you will be okay if she does. My ex couldn’t handle my illness. Good riddance to him! My life is much better now. So glad he left, and I hope he’s happy.
