Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
- I am skinny as a rail. My buddy is very overweight. When we are together we are a perfect 10.
- We went to the gym together - so that if he lost any weight, I might find it.
- We went to a restaurant after a movie one night. The place had bright lights to illuminate the sign in front. I walked all the way around him and stopped when he was between me and the light. He asked "What the hell are you doing?"
I said "How cool! We are an eclipse!"
- We went fishing for mackerel in his boat. It was a hot, cloudless summer day. I suggested the joint purchase of a bimini for some shade for the next trip. He said there's plenty of shade here (pointing at the shadow of one of the fishing rods across the deck) - for YOU! :-)
- Neither of us can easily find properly-fitting clothing, and for exactly the same and precisely opposite reason.
- KK
Incidentally, dd, I had issues with fitting comfortably in a booth until I lost 20 lbs. I have about 80 more to go. Sigh.
FML
means Fix My Lighthouse. Back in the 17th Century, lighthouse keepers were tthe butt of everyone's jokes. When a lighthouse keeper was made fun of, his retort would be "why dont you fix my lighthouse!" which was shortened over time to FML. This term was made famous in the great battle of the Sole Bay in 1902 where 14 peolpe died and 1 person broke their glasses.
"if you are going to take the piss out of me then why don't you FML!
Ha!! As to 'FML', yeah, it's 'Fuck my life', all right!!!
Hahah!!! Anyone ever go to FMyLife.com ??!
It's great!!!!! Just quick short posts about all those kind of frustrating, maddening, disappointing, and/or embarrassing that life dishes out!!! Some of them are really hilarious!!!!
I just went to get some about being overweight to put here!!
Today, I went into Whole Foods asking if they carried a supplement called Carnosine. The girl assisting me had no idea what it was, but asked, "Is this for weight loss?" FML
Today, the "My body is beautiful" t-shirt that my therapist gave me didn't fit. FML
Today, the school nurse called me in. She said she knew I was pregnant and she was worried about how it was affecting my grades. I'm not pregnant. Apparently I'm just stupid and fat. FML
Today, I found out that of the three medications I am taking for depression, one causes weight gain, one causes severe weight gain, and one "might cause weight gain." FML
Today, I was bragging about how I had lost 10 pounds. Grinning, I pulled my shirt up and tried to show how big my jeans were on me. Instead, the button flew off my pants. FML
Today, while I was on the bus to work, a morbidly obese man sat down next to me. When my stop came and I stood up to get off, he just looked at me, said with a smirk, "good luck with that," and went back to reading his paper. I missed my stop. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday. I had a simple party with my boyfriend, with just a cake and a bottle of red wine. My boyfriend managed to get so drunk that he danced naked for 10 minutes, then told me I'm hideously obese but that he loves me anyway. FML
Today, my very handsome, fit, Russian boyfriend tried to make me feel better about being a little overweight by telling me, "It's okay, you're American, everyone expects you to be fat." FML
Today, I placed a personal ad advertising myself as an overweight woman wanting sex. I sent pictures of me in lingerie to men who replied and was pleased that almost all were still interested. Then I sent face pics. As it turns out, being fat is not my problem. Apparently I'm ugly. FML
Today, I went to the doctor to talk about my depression and low self-esteem. He told me that I shouldn't think of myself as a fat pig for being overweight. I don't think that and I'm NOT overweight. FML
Today, I was dumped by my boyfriend of almost a year because he was no longer sexually attracted to me because I'm "overweight," even though I only weigh 130 pounds. Afterward I went to my friend's house and sat in an old wooden chair. It broke into pieces as soon as I sat down. FML
My pdoc thought his scale was broken
I agree with booths, rides and the shoes.~
eh it is what it is as long as your healthy!
I finally decided if anyone ever asked me that again I'd say-"yeah sure am"!
:) Just being mindful of all my DS friends.
