I always do things ass about

My first introduction thread after being here FOREVER..... because I always do things backwards...

Velvz. Bipolar.... type? Not sure. I walked out of the psychiatrists office the day he tried putting me on more meds. That was a decade ago.

Anxiety issues. OCD issues. Occasional SH concerns. Checkered history of substance abuse.

I manage for the most part by exercising, good healthy food and good sleep practices. Substances these days are 3 drinks maximum and I'm rat assed.

I work full time. Study part time. Bought my own house years ago. On my own. Ok the bank helped lol!!! Most days for me are 10-14 hours depending. That's work and study and house things and exercise.

At the moment I'm struggling because I believe I've burnt myself out and pushed myself into hypomania. I'm all over the shop. Been here before but no psychosis stuff. Woo.

Oh man I don't know what else to say. No kids. Love kids. But conscious decision not to have my own. Love men. But sadly I'm intolerant to relationships after a while. Moody 😁😁

Animals and music are my passions.

Yeh so..... **** awkward silence***

Then after support and love he swings around and shows his insensitive hypocritical side about something unrelated.

Hey Velvz,

if you would like a tubal ligation wouldn't that be your decision to make, not theirs? Can they even refuse?

hehe, I didn't know you were 38, you are so young at heart, I love the way you write. I thought you were one of our youngsters , not saying you're not young, you know what I mean (omg, think i should stop talking about now 😟)

No apparently as a legal adult I can't make decisions for myself in this country. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I'm young at heart yes. Lol CMF. It's ok. You're awesome. 😎😎😎😎😎

Hi Velvet

I had a friend about your age and the docs said they were worried she would change her mind as she hadn't had children

Like I said you may need to get supporting evidence from gp, psych as to the distress it causes you

As to the male thing- probably a case if you haven't been there MI , you don't get it - throw in PMS and all the rest and .... just saying 😡😡

Anyway it doesn't help you so lots of hugs 🤗 🤗

Stressless

Yeh that's the thing. I'm going to try anyway.

Man thing - at times acts like he's better than everyone else and it makes me so angry.

Thanks for hugs 😊😊 graciously returned.

Just seen this thread. I have seen and written to you on other threads but good to find out more about you.

I have always appreciated your honesty.

Many decades ago when I was a teenager I was put on the pill as it was believed then it would help my moods. I think it had the opposite effect.

It is interesting to see how going of it affects you.

Kind thoughts

Quirky

What would you like to know Quirky? 😄

I often wonder if us bipolar types just don't gel well with these things. Today I am tired, fluffy headache, sore in the areas i expected to be. Emotional still though, but not as reactive.

I just hope I can find my "normal" again.

I even lost my appetite today ! GONE !!!

V.

You wouldn't be detoxing from foods as well would you Velv? Like refined sugar, caffeine, dairy etc. I cannot remember if you drink coffee?? But the caffeine in that sends my body into more emotional upheaval that I am already in.

And if you are not doing all that exercise that you are used to, well maybe that is affecting your appetite, do you think? I know when I work out, it makes me much more hungry..

hugs

I should coffee detox. I have at most 2 a day. Can’t bring myself to do it.

Refined sugars and dairy are at minimum.

might have to reconsider that stuff.

oh yeh. I’ve been very active this last week. My body hurts lol.
