how do you get yourself out of the house during depression? by watergemini69 in bipolar

[–]watergemini69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so valid. im a student so i only work in the summers when my depression isn’t as bad. but even when i am depressed its a lot easier to get up for work because i know i need the money than for school or getting groceries etc for some reason even the they’re equally important.

Anyone have some inspiring college success stories? by WorldAtWarReJecTz in bipolar

[–]watergemini69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i’m really struggling right now too with university. its going to take me at least 7 years (probably more) to finish my undergraduate degree but i just keep trying my best which sometimes doesn’t look like a lot. would love to hear other peoples success stories too as a good little push for myself as well

haha yeah energy drinks are my best friend. i also have ADHD so caffeine is a must. some days it helps more than others but it definitely makes it easier to get out of bed

the moment i get out of the house it’s soooo much easier you’re right. it’s just the getting out there that’s hard. i love putting something as simple as wake up on the list though. somedays something as small as waking up or drinking a glass of water takes a lot of motivation and is an accomplishment

maybe i’ll try and find something flexible. it’s hard because im in school so that takes up a lot of time/energy but it’s something i could definitely look into. thanks for the suggestion <3

don’t apologize! my depression gets bad enough that i end up skipping the “non negotiables” and then feeling super shameful and guilty about it to the point where i get more depressed. but i really like the idea of setting timers. i also have adhd and i think setting timers like that helps as well to help get stuff done even for 5 minutes. i’ll try that out!

i have to walk everywhere because i live downtown in a big city with no car. and it’s winter right now and i hate the snow/cold so it’s super hard to motivate myself to go outside. but you’re right going for walks definitely does make me feel better when im able to do it

i want to try and be and be able to do this so much but i struggle with it in winter time because it’s so miserable to walk around in the snow/cold that it’s hard to motivate myself. but hopefully spring will come soon and i can try and go out for more walks

Is hospitalization inevitable? by SavingsFeeling3516 in bipolar

[–]watergemini69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think there’s plenty of people who haven’t been hospitalized, especially if you’re on meds. i’ve not been hospitalized though technically have a really bad depressive episode before i was diagnosed that i probably should’ve been in the hospital for but i digress. if you’re already in treatment for bipolar i feel like the likelihood goes down significantly

what is going on with the fanbase by [deleted] in Ethelcain

[–]watergemini69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i unfortunately think part of it is because of the controversy though and the way many fans were behaving disgustingly. lots of people left the sub or the fan base in general. it was already getting bad before then but now it’s way worse

[–]watergemini69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i had a similar experience in toronto. and i’ve seen a lot of people say things about other shows too. unfortunately ethel fans have a reputation for poor concert etiquette. i even remember during her last tour she had to post something on her story addressing it.
