Questions Bipolar Version 3

A: we went to Spain for a month last year and loved it.

Q: is BP the only illness you suffer from?

nope... I have 4 mental health diagnoses, and some physical stuff too

question:

which part of being diagnosed with BP was the hardest to get used to?

None. I don't have bipolar. I was misdiagnosed. I suffer from MDD.

Favorite store.

amazon!.

online but yeah. it's still a store

a massive, sells-anything type of store

lol

question: what is the longest you've ever gone without sleep

A long time.

Where do you sit in your therapist's office?

as close to the door as possible as it's easy for me to leave
question:

got anything in your house that you've had since you were a child?

A few things. Mostly I have my grandma's cooking stuff.

Does the toilet paper have to be a certain way for you?

not really

just as long as it's sitting on top of the toilet

I don't know why, but I get really wound up if it's on the wall.

question: have you had your birthday this year, or is it still to come

had it.

do you enjoy poetry?

sometimes.

I used to write my own (used to, now it's just stories)

what is one thing that you like about yourself

I think I'm a very caring person.

Do you think that dealing with bipolar makes you courageous?

hmm not sure

other people have told me that they think it's amazing I can deal with so much and still be alive, but I really don't think I'm anything special.. it's just life isn't it in the end

you deal with what you're delt

question: any pictures on the wall in your bedroom?. what are they of

I have an abstract in the master bath. Beautiful woman laying sideways enfulfed in sunrays opacqued(sp) by ashes.
I used to have a pic of Natasha Kinsky with a python wrapped around.
Until the kids were not kids anymore. Nothing indecent. She was showing nothing.
In the bedroom itself only mirrows.

When was manic depressive changed to bipolar.

When

early 1990s

Do you prefer to be called bipolar or manic depressive?

I much prefer the term "manic depression" over bipolar disorder because I think is better descriptive. However, I know that only older doctors and therapists generally still use the term. Since "bipolar disorder" is even used in the DSM-5, it's use is obviously more common. Plus, I realize that "bipolar disorder" allows for the use of "types" better.

Are you more of an "Early Bird" or "Night Owl" or somewhere in between?

in between I guess.

I'm the kind of person who can be up all night enjoying the stars and the quietness of the night, yet still start my day really early (like 5 or 6 A.M)

question: what do you think of math?

It's very useful. Indispensable even.

What is your favorite flower?

actually I'm not really in to flowers

I love lavender (it smells divine), but I class that as a plant

question:

what is the nicest thing you have ever smelled

I remember their used to be a perfume called sediment

I never used it myself, but at one point found myself in posession of a sample (one of these cards with the smell on it)

that.

couldn't get enough of it

any pets?

A cat.
Do you sleep naked?

No, almost never. Not even on nights of hanky panky. I get cold and would just feel... unprotected, in a sense? My husband makes fun of me that I sometimes even wear socks to bed. I even prefer ladies pajamas over night gowns because I roll a lot in my sleep. Night gowns always end up twisted around my waist.

Do you have a pet that sleeps in your room with you? If not, do you have any kind of security item, including or in lieu of a spouse or other SO.

I have a grounding box- which I suppose counts.

in their I have stuffed toys, or things I like the texture/ smell of, things I can fidgit with, things that I can wear like bracelets, but nothing on my bed... I'm barely their anyway.

question: do you wear bracelets, or rings, or anything else classed as jewelry

I have a ring I wear sometimes.

Have you ever gone to a pdoc who used computer assessment before each appointment?

A: no. That would really annoy me.

Q: it’s winter but still isn’t cold yet here.
So my question is: is it season appropriate weather yet where you live?
