Which holiday is hardest on your illness? |
#204
|
|||
|
|||
christmas.
lots of memories associated with that. question: is it sometimes easier for you just not to celebrate the holidays and treat it like a regular, normal day? |

Do you find that sticky to a regular schedule helps your moods to remain more stable? Or if you haven't tried this, doesn't it sound like a good idea why/why not.

This to shall pass and everything will be totally different in 5 years so hang on. Who is your favorite bipolar person?
|
#214
|
|||
|

to answer both questions
1. no.. it is actually a well known fact I do a lot better in winter. and 2.. demi lovato her music is awesome, she is a great actress, and i've seen her in interviews.. she's really open about stuff her music helps me through a lot question: do you rely on the internet for shopping?, or can you make it to the store and do okay |
#215
|
||||
|
||||
I use the internet a lot but I live in a very rural area and don't have a lot of choices in stores here. Stores are hard for me to handle though so I'm happiest when I can avoid them.
Do you ever feel paranoid about your therapist or pdoc?

A. Only when very unwell. I have accused my doctors of conspiring against me and making up my diagnoses.
Q. Are there many people from outside the USA on this website? |
#217
|
||||
|
||||
I'm from Scotland and there are English people on here as well as Australian etc there are other nationalities on here :-)
When do you start celebrating Christmas? I start now lol.... I've started shopping and singing carols (in my house not outside lol) |
#218
|

|

I just can’t face Christmas yet. Last year was very stressful and I’d just as soon crawl under a rock. (Sad)
Q. If you could be anyone in the world for a day who would you be? |
#219
|
||||
|
||||
The person I was in 1999. Healthy and happy. I don't know how to be anyone but me.
Where do you and your therapist (or pdoc or both) sit during sessions?

I’d guess he’s around 40, give or take 5 to ten years. I’m not good at guessing ages.
Do you have a purpose and if so, what is it? |
#222
|
|||
|
|||
My purpose is my family. That purpose is fraying at its edges as they grow up and move on and I’ve yet to discover a personal purpose that is solely me.
Q. Ever done big moves in your life? Across country of out of country? |
#223
|
||||
|
||||
No, just one state to another and eventually back. It was 10 hours away and felt big though. I really needed that time to really have to figure out independence as an adult.
Are you sensitive to cold?

Always have cold nose hands and feet. I bring a sweater when going out to eat or grocery shopping in the summer cause I know the A/C will be too much to bear. I love hot humid summer nights
![]() Q. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? |
#225
|

|

I hope just about where I am now--living next door to my mom who is still healthy and able to share our lives. It's not perfect but it does work.
What is the hardest chore for you?
