Questions Bipolar Version #8

MuddyBoots · Mar 03, 2021 at 08:14 AM

If it's a good comment I just say "thanks, I try" and if it's bad I just joke about it.

Do you prefer your appointments earlier in the day to get them over with or later in the day?

Miss Laura · Mar 03, 2021 at 10:00 AM

Later in the day I'm not a morning person I function better in the afternoon

Question: What is your favourite accent? What's your worst accent?

May sound trite, but I do think French accents are particularly lovely. As for least favorite, I'd be reluctant to say, if I had one. Certainly some accents reflect "harsher sounding" languages than others, but I think a lovely sweet voice counteracts any harsher accent.

Other than your native language, what second language do you know the most of? Even if you can speak it well.

Mar 03, 2021 at 10:28 AM

spanish, I guess

well at least, I know what hello is which is more than I can say for any other language... so yeah, spanish

what is one thing you wish you could change about your current treatment

*Beth* · Mar 03, 2021 at 07:52 PM

Easy: no more teletherapy and telehealth as an option only!

Do you pick up your mail every day?

wolftrap · Mar 03, 2021 at 08:42 PM

Yes, yes I do. Except when I forget.

Do you enjoy holidays?

Mar 04, 2021 at 05:53 AM

travel holidays- no. holidays like christmas and easter, sure.
when you wake up in the middle of the night, do you struggle to go back to sleep?. or do you go back to sleep fine

In recent months, I can get back to sleep fairly quickly. Sometimes I have to either get a drink of water or eat a yogurt (my secret sleep-inducer) to do so. At other times, if some level of manic, I have more trouble. Most of the trouble is more not feeling like sleeping more, more than any desperate wish to.

Do you have a favorite drinking mug or glass? What does it look like?

MuddyBoots · Mar 04, 2021 at 11:08 AM

Yeah, it's a xmas present from my mom. It's the biggest mug I've ever had so it holds lots of tea/coffee/hot chocolate and it says "MY BRAIN HAS TOO MANY TABS OPEN" which...is fitting.

How do you learn to trust yourself again after an episode where you were detached from reality or at least made very questionable decisions?

I mean they were nowhere in sight and our cafeteria is easily the size of a football field. What did everyone sprint to the Call Center? So naturally I started questioning was I just sitting there talking to myself? Like wtf! If you could just pick up and go somewhere else, would you?

I had something similar happen at work 25 years ago. I was sitting in my cubicle and I had my head down on the desk taking a few seconds relaxation when I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. I sat up and there was noone in my cubicle and I looked down the long walkway outside my cubicle and nobody! There was no time where the person couldve moved that fast to not be seen between when I felt the tap and when I looked around.

I do. And Lady Gaga herself. I think "Shallow" is beautiful. I will say I liked her earlier songs better than her very recent dance club stuff.

What decade's music do you like best?

wolftrap · Mar 05, 2021 at 10:18 AM

Mid 80’s - mid 90’s.

If you could have any kind of home, what would it be like?

Mar 05, 2021 at 02:59 PM

I would have a penthouse suite in a tall building with skylights as i crave natural light and like living in sturdy buildings.

When you get up, does it take you a while to wake up and what sorts of things do you do to help wake up?

buddha1too · Mar 05, 2021 at 03:16 PM

I have to have a few cups of coffee & read the newspapers on my tablet before I'm fit to talk to.

Have you ever studies any foreign languages? Which ones, & how successful were you?

Miss Laura · Mar 05, 2021 at 03:35 PM

French, German, Italian

French 3 years in high school not a fan of it but could do simple sentences

German 6 years in high school can get by well back then this was 18 years ago lol

Italian a year in high school unsuccessful lol

Some Scots Galiec basic words and sentences about 6 months

BSL (British Sign Language) on and off 10 years its a Language you have to keep doing or you lose it. Loved it.

Question: What's your plans for the weekend?

Mar 05, 2021 at 03:49 PM

post on here, watch tv, probably listen to music, nothing worth reporting.
have you ever (or do you now) wonder if your life has been wasted?

Moose72 · Mar 05, 2021 at 05:26 PM

I was just thinking that my life's been wasted a few days ago but then I remembered that my choir in high school went to a worldwide competition in Vienna when I was 17 and we won the whole competition!

If you don't sleep well at night do you try to nap during the day or no?

wolftrap · Mar 05, 2021 at 09:10 PM

Oh yeah, nap is key. Moose, that is a great story!

If you could choose any career, any path in life, what would it be?

I'm a retired high school teacher. While I'd like to think I did some good in the world, I'm not 100% sure I'd choose that path if I had to do it over again. The curriculum became too standardized over the years...too much teaching to tests. I'm fairly happy being a retired guy at the moment!

What were the very first signs you struggled with mental illness? Were you aware of it at the onset?
