I joined the forum 5 years after being diagnosed Bipolar.

What is your dream career if you knew you could do it without fail and make the money that you need to live on?

something to do with theme parks.
either an engineer for the rides, or a dispatcher (sending the ride around the track)

first thing you do when you get out of bed in the morning
 
 
Thanks for this!

Either go to the bathroom or make coffee. Tonight I set my new coffee maker on a timer for the first time.We'll see if it works out. If so, then either the bathroom or starting to set out breakfast will be first.

What "convenience" do you do/have/set up? Or if none, what would you like to just happen by itself to provide you with some extra convenience?

I would like a car starter. They are so cheap. I don’t know why I don’t just invest in one and call it a day!

Do you have a daily activity you look forward to?

Coffee or just breakfast, in general. Though I am usually still a little tired. Sometimes I wish some extra nice breakfast was on the table waiting for me (i.e. homemade waffles, crepes, egg dish). Breakfast rocks!

At what time of day do you tend to have the most energy?

I think I snore occasionally but not badly unless I get flat on my back which is rare.

Have you ever tried online therapy?

Prior to the covid-19 pandemic, no. Since the pandemic started, yes. My therapy had to shift to video sessions out of necessity, in the US. Since I moved to Czech Republic, I have had one therapy session and it was in-person. I have another in-person therapy session today. My psychiatrist is still only giving video sessions, because of covid.

If you could wave a magic wand and have two things happen, what would they be?

to have friends who don't judge me and are here for me regardless, and have a day where I'm not in so much pain (or a week, or a month, etc)

do you think their's a certain quality that you have that others don't like about you?

I get angry easily. It’s definitely not a trait I love about myself and it can be intimidating to others.

Do you think the mental health care system is here more to make money than to make people well?

defenetly!. I've even had a couple therapists demand money for extra sessions which I'd not even had yet, one of them threatening to steal from my bank account (fact) if I didn't pay her what she wanted.

money related question: what was the last thing you purchased that you got a lot of use out of?

Probably all. I'm quite good at geography. I love travel. I've traveled to/through about 46 of the US states. Quite a few even just a couple months ago.

What was your strongest subject in school?

Music.... Singing was where I shined though anything non academic I struggled intellectually. I was good at practical things like experiments in Science but ask me how I did it I was stumped. I was also strong at sport (football, hockey, uni hock, netball, basketball, swimming, badminton, trampolining.... not gymnastics or running though)

I am learning to play a shorter version of a saxophone its hard though

Question: What's the weather like today?

I was bullied a lot.

Pre-covid, how stressful is it for you to have company to your home?

It was a bit stressful. I tend to like my alone time a lot, so having to "be on" as the hostess with the mostest can wear on me after a relatively short time. Plus, when it comes to cooking, I can be a real perfectionist. I tend to go overboard with the meals. My meals for guests are usually bigger deals than others provide. Hubby does help with house cleaning and doing dishes, but otherwise I end up doing everything else. I've very happy when guests leave.

What was the longest amount of time you ever hosted a guest? Or your parents hosting a guest, if that's more applicable?

My favorite movie is Gone With the Wind. Then there are about 7 more I'd place second.



What was your main interest when you were 17 years old?
