No. I only tell people when I get comfortable enough with them. I just told my small group from church this last week and I've known them for 18 months or so. I also accidentally told my pastor who I thought had left the building but that's ok; he's a good person and will be kind. I just didn't plan to tell him that way

I use to work in Social Care... I was a Key Worker/Senior Support Worker for a charity who supported men in a challenging behaviour unit in a housing complex who all had Autism, Learning Disabilities and Challenging Behaviour. I worked there from Jan 07 until May 11 when I lost my job due to ill health.

I go through phases. It used to be crunchy peanut butter (absolutely HAD to be crunchy), but now it's not even food it's just milk.

I drink a glass of decaff iced tea every day and sometimes a cup of herbal hot tea later. Iced tea is unsweetened and herbal tea is slightly sweetened.

I missed it and I am so bummed! I heard there was an opportunity to see it again tonight, so I am going to try again.

I've been depressed, at times severely, for at least 3 weeks. Getting better though: actually took a shower today and had a decent breakfast and lunch. Did a bit of tidying up too.
BPD going wild though, making an attempt at a relationship and it's bringing out a lot of that. Fear of abandonment+idealization+low self-worth=constantly wondering what they see in me->more fear of abandonment->some days catching myself saying some subtle stuff to see if they care or actually want to try, but also that probably lets them know I am afraid, insecure, and needy. Straight up PTSD sx (not the complex trauma stuff that overlaps with BPD) are practically non-existent. I think all I needed was to get away from the places and people that were traumatizing at some point prior to or at the time. Same Q.

Everything, overwhelming emotion everywhere. I don't have any other conditions but this bipolar is really up and down. Today I am feeling elated high, and happy just loving life so much and just a couple days ago I was a crying mess as if my whole world was ending. It depends on my environment and my mood just fluctuates.
But overall, I feel really, really good. I think it's also all this fresh air too and nice cool spring weather. I really wish it could last all year. Does the weather affect your feelings for the whole day? __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

Yes! The weather absolutely affects my feelings for the whole day. I just can’t stand rain. It instantly makes me miserable.
I’m also always more depressed in winter and my mood lifts a bit in summer. What’s your current mood state on the bipolar spectrum? |

I’m on the depressed side. Sigh. Everything seems overwhelming but it shouldn’t.
What’s your comfort food you eat to feel better, if any? |

It was chocolate milk, but I’ve switched to the hard stuff… dark chocolate

My mom, therapist and pdoc. I get socialization out of my Bible study group but we're on hold for a bit due to the leader's surgery.

Grapefruit. In fact I have a probably 2 year supply (started with 3) of a soap that I love. I was really depressed and my OCD kicked in because it was the only thing that helped and I didn't run out so I bought a ton. Which is fine, I like it, but half my bathroom under-sink cabinet is still full of this soap.
