I REALLY didnt mean it that way, and now I feel very bad and guilty. I shouldn't have posted that. I think when I did, I was already hypomanic. And I mean I post TMI stuff too, like about my period and such. I feel I am guilty of TMI posts and shouldn't have told raspberry anything about it and moved on.

OMG, I feel so bad. I'm such a hypocrite.
Don't be too harsh on yourself for mentioning some of her posts lately were a bit too revealing. They made you uncomfortable and stuck up for yourself. There's a good chance she's going to come down and realize it was getting a bit excessive. I'm guilty of TMI posts (some incredibly triggering) myself, and if it gets too much I'd appreciate someone (as kindly as possible) telling me to chill with that stuff myself.

The both of you are flying high right now too, so I understand her posting excessively about the hypersexuality when it's clearly her most severe symptom, but I commend you for pointing out it was a bit much. I do feel like you went on a little too much though in trying to set that boundary (it was a less than brief post). There's have a "have to share this!" quality in a lot of thoughts, increasingly more so I've noticed (regardless of mental health status...I blame twitter).

I've been working on journaling more (want to every day, but I slack a bit) and getting the thoughts "I have to share" out that way, and when I actually do it, I think my posts are a tad more controlled. Maybe we all could work on finding an outlet like that, and come here for the site's purpose to support each other.

I'm not trying to bash or insult anyone, especially considering I'm confessing to very similar posts. I guess this post is just saying we do shyt when we have that combo of racing thoughts, poor decision making skills, and impulsivity, and it's good to practice continually finding better ways to cope with that. The great thing about this site is spending some time writing here instead of emptying our bank account on all of Ernest Hemingway's literature like I said earlier, the great thing is we can usually understand each other and always empathize with one another.

I'm sorry all my posts lately have been extremely long winded. I swear I edited this one down

And please come back and let us know you're okay @raspberrytorte!
