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***
velvz.

Sleep is getting there. Trying hard to find a routine again.
I think man things depression has a lot to do with her beating him down for years and her actively isolating him. He’s not sleeping well either. Worse than me.
Oh no..... I doubt you scared blue off. Very much doubt it.
Going to my olds Chrissy day then probably onto a friends place. 😁😁

Just discovered my ex from 2 years ago, who I worshipped and looked after lied to me. I was cut up for 6 months over him literally vanishing.
I was the other woman. He had a lady and I think a daughter. On top everything else being lies.
He vanished from my life when everything in his life went bad. Now I have a suspicion why. She must’ve found out.
i feel so sick and upset.
😢😢😢😢😢

OMG what the???
All I can say is thank god he is your ex. I cannot imagine how it must make you feel to find this out but think of it as a blessing that he left. Yes, you were badly hurt but look at the crap he is in and deservedly so.
Don't waste your time and energy being upset over him, he's not worth it. I know it is easier said than done but the person you loved and worshipped was not the real him.
Some people are just unbelievable jerks.

I know that feeling. I have no desire to meet anyone again. I think when we feel this way we become so wary of everyone, even the good ones don't stand a chance.
I'm sorry you're hurting so much. I have no words to make it better but i do understand. You're not alone.
