Way to call me out Jess! lol jk I'm an emotional eater too. I always fluctuate like 15 lbs. I'm so sorry the disembarkment is still there. I hope it gets better soon. ❤
It wasn’t planned! 😘 I think it’s a valid point since I don’t appear overweight, but I’m talking about Seroquel weight gain. At my highest weight it was more obvious. To clarify if anyone else sees this, before Seroquel I was tiny naturally. I didn’t have a problem with food or an eating disorder. I now have something of a problem with binge eating that started with Covid. Food was how I coped with all the unexpected stress. I have an old video on that: Bipolar and the COVID Pandemic Wrecked My Relationship with Food | Binge Eating ruclips.net/video/gGgLV77KxuU/видео.html
Hope all goes well with November travel. What a July for you! Phew. . Things I’d add to the “how to help” list: •Learn to be comfortable in the presence of depression. When I am experiencing depression, it’s helpful if loved ones still just watch the comedy with me even if I don’t laugh or go out together even if I skip conversation. •And with mania, for me, generosity is often my overspending. America is a tip culture and having a trusted person say “woah. It’s good to be generous, but are you sure that’s an affordable tip for you?” helps keep me in check. Be brave, too and ask, in love, for someone’s credit cards just as you would ask someone who has had much alcohol for their car keys. . Here’s to a calm, if warm, August for us all. . ❤
Thanks, friend. I like these additions to the list! Learning to be comfortable in the presence of depression is justifiably difficult for some. And I could see overtipping being a problem in mania. 👍🏼
Ahhhhh. 😘 I let Bryan do the tipping so I’m safe here. I tend not to go out with anyone when hypo/manic. I’m too out of sorts. It does happen but B usually saves me here.

@@ourbipolar Indeed. And, some? I have left an $80 tip on a $20 tab. 🙃

I am suffering with MdDS for over 6 years now 24/7 from a 6 hour plane ride. It is a nightmare without any cure. I hope yours goes away.
So sorry to hear that. Mine did go away after about 7 weeks.
