Mountains!
Have you ever thought about writing a novel (or even a short story) about your BP experience(s)? |

No bc I have lived in a 400 sq ft trailer and now live in 600 sq ft and those are tight enough.

I have met and been aquaintenced with, and had brief friendships with several people in real life with BP, none of them affected me any differently than people without BP.
Have you had a romantic relationship with someone who also had bipolar disorder? |

It was a novel, and I can't remember the title. It was about a factory worker who lived with her sh**ty sister, mother and her brilliantly adorable 4 year old niece. It took place in small town Ontario in the 70s, the protaganist had the misfortune of falling hard for a messed up stunt man. Anyway, I really enjoyed it.
What's the most recent documentary that you watched and liked enough to recommend? |

What the Health...It’s on Netflix. They have inpatient programs and intensive outpatient programs for drugs and alcohol. Do you think there should be a special program for sugar withdrawal and nutrition in general.

yes... I think it would be a good idea.
when you were diagnosed, was it a shock or did you think sometime before that you may have been, and the diagnoses was just confirming something you all ready suspected? |

It wasn't really a shock - because I gave the doctor all the signs. He must've picked up on the vibes I was sending him. I only am a little disappointed that follow up and follow through questions weren't asked to explore other diagnosis. But I guess you have to start somewhere, right?
do you think making small mistakes should lead to irreversible consequences? |

I'm a tomboy unfortunately the last time I was all made up was 6 years ago at my 30th. I had false nails (I bite mines), make up on, hair curled and down, dress in (normally in jeans) other than that it was at my Brothers wedding 8 years ago. I do like getting dolled up it's just its just not me
How are you dealing with the unpredictable weather we are having? In the UK it's currently snowy weather so if you have snow how are you coping? If you don't are you enjoying the sun etc? |

I live in New England. It is cold and snowy. I am just curled up in a ball under a thick comforter waiting for warmer weather.. That’s how I’m dealing with it. I would say I’m coping poorly as I am frozen physically and mentally.. For those of you in/ or have been in mental health counseling, how did it negatively or positively impact you?

Negative: Some therapists seemed to show anger towards me because of my hypomanic/manic or mixed state behavior. That serves no good purpose and often felt like they were punishing me. What a horrible approach they had! Positive: I try did eventually learn helpful coping skills/tools. Obviously some were not my style, but others were. There's nothing wrong with rejecting ones that don't feel doable. New Question: What coping skill/took have you not liked or found helpful? |

meditation. honestly?. it does nothing for me, but I can defenetly apreciate that for some people (a lot of people) it's helpful.
have you ever been against advice given to you by your mental health team, but went along with it just to keep them happy? |

Definitely daytime, for me. I am rarely tired during the day and get a good amount done. I like the sunshine, when it's sunny, and generally enjoy activities during daytime hours. I take Seroquel XR in the evening. That really knocks me out. I do, however, recall enjoying nighttime when I was elated manic, but I don't want that. What is your favorite gizmo thingy that you have? |
