On occasion I've tried to mention a couple of things to my psychiatrist, but he tends to just nod and - maybe - write it down. It never goes any further than that, so I've just stopped trying.crazyjane13https://www.blogger.com/profile/08025971545805390457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153329681853518354.post-56274416607243661882014-02-26T03:01:31.290-05:002014-02-26T03:01:31.290-05:00Try finding out about that solution you put on the...Try finding out about that solution you put on the nail for nail biting prevention.

And as challenging as it is to be someone struggling with bipolar disorder as well as my other diagnoses, it's even harder when I worry how it might impact them. <br />So while I do agree we need quiet time/ down time - your "don't breed" and "place your family up for adoption" statements were rude and ridiculous.

Mental illness is tough; we require quiet times to meditate and do mindfulness exercises; to do yoga, to draw and garden.

Take the power away from the patriarch and use my own chutzpah. For instance, Witch. One of the most derogatory words a man (or woman) uses about another woman. I own that word. I AM that word. I am also a bitch. As for the "c" word, I just don't like the way it sounds. The slut, whore and general "tramp like" words are words my friends and I use about each other as well as the men in our lives. I've basically made all offensive words equal opportunity insults.

Those sessions are strictly for me and having someone else there to interpret negates the purpose.

As for your paranoia and super-power issues....I LITERALLY just wrote a blog about labels and how hard it is to be taken serious when bipolar is slapped on my head.
