I have had some issues with depression and bipolar as well and my boyfriend couldn’t deal with it and left me.
The right person who really loves you will stick around !

My bf and I have been discussing marriage but he’s afraid of what our future would look like. For reference I’m clinically depressed with bipolar disorder but have been doing very well on medication. It just makes me feel worthless and like I don’t deserve love..

Bipolar here. Has taken a toll on marriage but now well controlled on meds. Sometimes still get depressive though (bipolar type ii). It was the manic times that took their toll - hair trigger temper and rage.

If you don’t mind me asking, was your partner aware you were bipolar before you got married? I just recently found out I’m bipolar and it’s terrifying. I’m currently trying to take leave from work but it’s hard to get approval without disclosing too much information. Did you ever need to take time off/use sick days when it got really bad?

I’m starting to realize that my significant other probably has muti personalities disorder. Im torn each day because he changes so much from time to time. I feel very guilty to leave him due to this disorder, but it’s risking my mental health/sanity to stay in the relationship 😔

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
