This has been bothering me since I've been watching her podcast. Why is she a grown woman calling people losers? its so weird to me

I was 25 when I went to my last college. I had my first ever manic episode then and I'm still mortified at how I was acting in front of my peers. Did this happen to anyone else? Or did anyone struggle in college with mental health?

It's so easy to make assumptions about someones life when you don't know them well solely from social media. I thought she was happy and thriving. It surprised me to find out she struggles with her marriage and to be a mom. It was also hard to see how harsh and dismisive she is with Beau and others. I get being hurt but you don't have to scream at them. I do view her differently than before this aired. Curious to hear your thoughts.

I get they are trying to get a good reality tv show but there's almost too much fighting it doesn't feel natural to constantly confront ppl and fight over things that have already been resolved. I wish there were more nice scenes of them just having fun and enjoying each other all this fighting is stressing me out.

spoiler: I'm on the last episode where they are on the boat and rob and beau are now fighting of what was said to georgia. Why even bring it up to fight if it was over? Georgie and Georgia already made up. I can tell Rob cares about Beau but all these conflicts shouldn't be turning into huge screaming fights constantly. It feels a bit overdone even for a reality tv show. Haven't finished the last episode yet but I'm sure there's even more fighting to come lol.

I do love the show and want it to get renewed for a second season but we don't need constant fighting all of the time you guys can have fun too!

Am I missing something here? I don't get why Stassi won't let her husband go back to work if it would make him that happy. It seems selfish she just wants him around as her support. Just finished ep 2 where they talk about it. Beau is an equal part of their relationship, why is he letting Stassi dictate what he can and can't do? They have the money for a nanny or daycare so I just don't get it. I bet Beau feels emasculated and going back to work would help. If my husband was that depressed and there was an easy fix I'd let him do it.

I have been very sick since July 4th and it hasn't gotten any better. My doctor ordered a bunch of stool tests and today I finally got the results that it's C diff. The thing is I saw the report but my doctor hasn't contacted me yet to order me the medication.

I'm literally going crazy being stuck inside and not being able to eat anything normal. I just want them to order my meds. I called them and left messages but no response. My dad told me to call the on call doctor or go back in so I get my meds but I don't want to be annoying. I also want to mention I live alone and feel so lonely and isolated I want to cry. How did you deal with being sick for so long when you can't do anything? I'm so bored I'm going out of my mind.

I was diagnosed Bipolar type 1 in 2017 and have been pretty stable on meds since. The thing is I struggle to work a full time job and wake up early for a 9-5. I've worked various jobs but feel behind by my peers. I'm in my mid 30's and feel embarassed that I can't support myseslf. Is anyone else like this and how do you manage? I want to date but feel like I'm not a good dating prospect since I don't have a good stable job. Just feeling really down now and defective.

I saw a psychic in June and he said I need to go through a death and rebirth and become more confident and step into my power. A month after the reading I developed diarrhea for two weeks (still going on). Obviously I am seeing a doctor but I feel I am purging a lot of old energy during my death and rebirth.

Has this happened to anyone else? I feel like I really am purging a lot of old energy and stepping into my more confident self.

I miss my old personality before I had major trauma. I used to be so fun and outgoing and now I'm always on edge and don't trust people easily. Does anyone else relate?

My first psychosis was from doing cocaine. It was so embarassing because I was in college at the time and I heard my classmates talking shit about me. Even years later I still feel so embarassed but I'm not crazy I just had a bad reaction to the cocaine I did. Has this happened to anyone else?

tw: sexual assault

Some of the worst traumas i experienced were sexual assaults in my adolescence. I hated myself and my body so much. I felt like I couldn't escape the scene of the crime; my own body. Then it was yoga that transformed my life. It changed my relationship to myself and my body. Instead of hating it I started connecting to myself and loving myself again. Not to mention yoga is proven to help people heal from ptsd.

I recently started getting back into yoga and forgot how much I love it. Just wanted to share in case anyone else is struggling. I'm also curious if anyone else healed their trauma from yoga? I'd love to hear from you.

I used to go out all of the time but now it's a struggle to leave the house. I can't tell if it's because of my cptsd or just getting older. Anyone else?

Since being on meds my sex drive has gone done a lot. I haven't dated seriously since being diagnosed bipolar and I worry it would affect a future relationship I have since I used to want it constantly and barely have any drive at all.

the heat is brutal this weekend. How's everyone doing? I've been staying inside hydrating and exhausted. It's like the heat depleteted all of my energy.

title says it all. getting back into yoga now and using a new manduka pro mat. been reading ways to break it in and thought id ask here!

Even when stable on meds I tend to be more of a night owl. I had a sleep doctor tell me to wake up around 9am but it's a struggle. I don't really get energy til around 2pm and I'm not a morning person at all. Wondering if other bipolar peeps are night owls too.

Last night I was eating spicy food and it was so spicy I couldn't finish it so my meds didn't get absorbed since I need 500 calories for my meds to absorb. I was up til around 2am last night and slept in today. I was so tired I just laid on my couch and listened to music while playing the sims all day. My friend was understanding that I cancelled but I feel kinda down that I couldn't do anything. On your off days what do you do or tell yourself when you can't do much? Trying not to feel too down about it

I started IOP this past week on Thursday. It's a lot as this is all new to me. My ed started when I was 16 and I'm just now getting help at 34. I've been crying so much more than usual. I cried on the phone with the intake people and almost every day since I started as it feels like a lot to process and try to heal. I can't believe how bad my ed got and I regret not getting help sooner.

Is it normal to be exhausted from this? I've been on my couch all day listening to music and did anyone else cry this much? It's a lot but I do want to recover.

I (34 F) started developing an ED when I was 16. I would use adderal to eat very little, skip meals, drink a ton of green tea, and overexersize. My eating disorder then got worse in college. I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and got put on a medication that made me rapidly gain weight and binge eat. My bf at the time was an asshole and would call me fat and even filmed me binge eating. I was mortified and after I got off that medicine my ED got even worse and I'd go most the day without eating then binge eating at night.

In my late 20's I found the right meds and my SSRI quieted the ED thoughts. I was finally eating normally and found balance. Then I got thyroid problems and was very light headed. When I starved myself and I felt light headed I would binge eat so with the thyroid problems I started binge eating a lot. I rapidly gained a lot weight in that time and over the years with bipolar meds.

Now I am obese. I hate myself so much. I pretend I'm okay but I'm not. I told myself I won't date unless I lose weight. I finally broke down crying to my therapist about it and he recommended an IOP for my eating disorder. I start this Thursday and am so nervous. I want help and I think part of that is going easier on myself for gaining weight and hopefully losing it in a healthy way. I don't want to starve myself but I also don't want to be obese anymore I'm finally ready to find a healthier path somewhere in the middle.

Does anyone else relate to going from anorexic to obese and how did you deal with it?
