Thx

I’m not into sports. Now I wonder if I was supposed to write it as 7-0.

Thanks. She really likes that we have so much in common. I guess I do too.

Thx! She’s the best. We are good for each other. She tells me that before me, her psychotic episodes would require hospitalization. Now, I’m 7-7 talking her back to reality. We know it may not always be like that, but for now, we like that I get to be her “magic man” who brings her out of psychosis in seconds. I think we’ll keep one another.

Ty for your comment. ❤️ I’m hoping my wife’s experience can help, but yes, our doctor is good. My wife found her cocktail of meds within three years of her DX, so about 2003. She said many doctors had her in various things that didn’t help her, and some also refused certain meds because of her past dependency on opioids. This doctor listens and works through treatments in a very collaborative way.

I just hope it’s easy for me. I have two cousins with Bipolar and they don’t treat because they don’t like the meds. I don’t see treatment as optional though, so I’ll slog through it if needed.

Oh, shit! My bad. In my sleepy mind, it looked hopeful.

My family (but not my wife; she rocks) tells me that I need to want to be better. I need to choose to be happy and want to not be anxious. See? Its just my own fault I have mental illness. The meds are just a crutch, and until I decide to find my willpower and pull myself up by my bootstraps, I’ll never be “cured.”

No wonder it took me this long to accept who I am. They think the goal is to be med-free someday, and that if I rely on the meds, I’ll never “want” to be “cured,” so I’ll just keep taking “a pill” to feel better.

I’m not qualified to give advice or interpret meaning of words exchanged, but I’m pleased to see that you went on the ‘date’. Feels good, right?

Fair. It’s still weird to me. Not unusual.

Never thought I’d see a day when news outlets reported on tweets.

And there is no cost at all, ever, for this “assistant” that has full access to every aspect of our life. Free and without consequences forever!

We are friends in another life. Ty.

…as they speed past “Hypo-manic Mango,” who actually was in four races ago, but is still circling the track, disqualified.

Loads (on mobile at least) without recaptcha for me

LineageOS with zero AI on my pixel works for me for now. So help me, I will stop using a phone before I take part in wherever Google thinks mobile phone are heading.

Fine. Forget about it.

I wonder this about a lot of my local restaurants. Maybe some of the platforms require it. I know that in my area, everything serviced by Door Dash arrives more than 40m after leaving the store, cold, unappetizing. That makes sense if they’re doing what the article says and waiting for more orders before delivering.

I understand how much this can frustrate and annoy.

My bp1so has been grinding her teeth for years when she hears someone who thinks changing your mind means you are (not have, but “are,” but that’s a different can of worms) bipolar.

NT’s rarely know anything at all about mental illness units it affects them. After my bpso was diagnosed, her brother went and majored in psychology to understand her better. He made me see that he just didn’t know, and a lot of people just don’t have any exposure that makes them care enough to find out what they don’t know. Instead, we (don’t have BPD, but my own mixed bag of illness) become punchlines. I just have to forgive and move on, but it doesn’t mean we don’t feel ways about it.

Looks very cool
