This is the thread to come to when you need to get stuff off your chest but don’t want to bother or upset anyone. Please be conscious of your comrades and use spoilers and CWs as necessary
Also, sometimes when folks vent they just want to get it out, they don’t want advice or feedback or anything, so if that’s you please identify as such and we’ll enforce
If you don’t want people to respond to your venting, start the post with the ❌ emoji
If you really do want or even need responses ✅
If you don’t care, don’t worry about it :meow-floppy:
If you have any feedback for future venting posts please let me know and I’ll discuss it with the other mods!
The past few days, I've been particularly frustrated with myself and living with Bipolar II. I've been thinking about past relationships I've had, and how those people have moved on to new relationships that have blossomed into engagement, buying a house, finishing college, etc. Meanwhile, I've "regressed" to moving into my dad's basement and working at a takeout restaurant. I've made a ton of progress over the last year through therapy and CBT, but sometimes the frustration really just sets in. I have a realistic ideal goal for my life, but sometimes I feel like I'll never reach it because accomplishing or finishing anything is so hard with Bipolar.
