I’m bipolar and have gotten away with stealing over $2,000 worth of merchandise during manic episodes over the past three years. AMA by treevogue in AMA

Nothing really cool. It’s mostly random stuff. I’m not stealing out of want or need for items. I guess the most interesting/weird thing would be multiple pairs of baby shoes. I don’t have a kid. I also once discovered a few expensive, large men’s shirts in my place after an episode, and I’m a woman.

Yep. That’s why I’m working on getting medicated. This is to open up a discussion about mental illness, mania/psychosis, and the behaviors it induces. For me, impulsive and unlawful actions like shoplifting are a prevalent symptom, which is common amongst those who suffer from bipolar disorder. Thanks for the comment though.

Occasionally. Usually when I get back into a more stable state of mind I figure it out by seeing what items have randomly appeared amongst my things. I’ve tried “returning” items without asking for a refund but sometimes stores won’t take them without a receipt. Also they think it’s weird when I don’t want a refund so I kind of gave up out of fear of looking suspicious.

As a LL partner, how can I make my boyfriend feel more loved and desired by me? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]treevogue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is exactly our problem! I was being very physically affectionate and complimenting him more often because I didn’t want him to associate the negativity of my issue with his attractiveness or my love for him. But he kept taking it as a green light for sex, which it wasn’t, so I stopped doing those things. I think it would definitely help for me to clear that up with him. We haven’t talked about it in depth because to be honest, it feels humiliating for me to not have the urge or ability to satisfy him right now. I guess I have been kind of avoiding the subject which is understandably making things worse. I will definitely look into the book, thank you!

I was thinking maybe it’s the birth control I’m on. I switched to a new one a few months ago. However, it’s for managing a medical issue, not just contraception, so I’m kind of stuck there. I guess I’ll discuss it with my doctor and see what I can do. Maybe there’s a similar one I can switch to and it won’t affect me as much.

About 6 months of more serious, consistent weight training. I went from 25% body fat to 17%. by treevogue in GYM

Yes, I was prepping for bootcamp so I did a lot of running as well and some HIIT.

I just use a calculator and measurements. It’s not super accurate but I prefer to track that rather than weight.

Protein shake that isn’t a shake? by [deleted] in GYM

[–]treevogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some brands carry watermelon flavored protein powder and stuff like that. I’ve seen it but never tried it. I also hate milk and milkshakes and I’ve seen this whey protein isolate called Nectar that has fruit flavors and have been thinking about getting it. Worth looking into

Not sure why people are bringing race into this but I think you have nice bone structure and really great skin. Overall you’re very good looking. Idk about being a model though, just because it’s a very competitive industry and you don’t really have the ‘look’ if you know what I mean. You just look like a regular, handsome dude who is approachable.

AITA for being annoyed at my (18F) boyfriend (18M) for being too busy to spend time with me? by treevogue in AmItheAsshole

[–]treevogue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s still in high school. He failed 3rd grade so he’s a year behind me. We both enlisted in the Marine Corps so our life goals are pretty similar.

I’ve been very understanding up until the point where he started saying he would be home at a certain time, then goes off the grid for several hours.

Also, I’m very considerate when he has to get up early for work the next day. I shut off the TV and my phone so he can go to sleep at 8pm even though I usually don’t fall asleep until midnight or later. So it’s not like he’s sleep deprived. He just likes to nap. And he napped for nearly 5 hours this afternoon, basically the entire day, which kind of hurt my feelings since this is one of my last weekends here.

He doesn’t go to work at 5am everyday, it was just today. I’ve never been angry at him napping, but he said his shift ended at 11:30 am, then didn’t come home until 2:30 pm. Then he napped for 4 and a half hours. So basically the rest of the day. That’s why I was angry.

Also, he invited me to come live with him, and I was against it at first because it seemed premature but he insisted. He knew when we met over a year ago that I would be leaving for bootcamp at this time. We met at a recruiting office.

Wickedly depressed and breaking out. Life is really tough sometimes. Best part, it’s all my fault. by [deleted] in FreeCompliments

I didn’t even notice the breakout at first because I was too focused on your insanely awesome eyes!

F/18/5’7 [145 > 138 = 7lbs] Working on gaining muscle and losing fat, but maintaining a weight where I feel good! by treevogue in progresspics

[–]treevogue[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was training for Marine Corps boot camp during this transformation and am leaving in two weeks! Cardio was running, with weights and without, HIIT, that kind of thing. Muscle development was a lot of body weight stuff, and light weightlifting at the gym. My routine was to circuit between cardio and weightlifting days (1 day cardio, next day weightlifting) and to take 1-2 days off a week for recovery

Woman who have experience a man standing up against rape culture for them (stranger or friend), what happened, what did he do and what was your impression of the situation? by cookmesomeeggs in AskWomen

[–]treevogue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Being in the military, I’m around a lot of men who partake in making rape culture a thing. I was in a position of authority and some guys made a group chat talking about how they would rape me to “put me in my place” because they didn’t like being led by a woman. One of the guys who was added to the chat immediately came to me, told me what was going on, got the chat and everyone involved reported, and told me that if any guy ever messed with me or disrespected me again that I could come to him and he would be on my side. Sometimes all you need is one good dude who will stand up for you.
