Coping Mechanisms: Writing a Manifesto 📄📖📝🖌️📚 #BipolarDisorder #MentalHealth #Depression #Anxiety #Writing

As you may or may not know, I use writing as a coping mechanism for my difficult times with my Bipolar Disorder. It’s not exclusively a coping mechanism though, I also write when I’m not struggling as I thoroughly enjoy it. The choosing of a topic or subject, the research on said topic or subject, the structuring of the narrative that you have created, then the tweaking of your narrative to make it more fluid, clear and/or comprehensible.

Here is a link to the Manifesto that I have started to write. There’s 3 parts so far and all of them are a work in progress, so if you have any ideas, comments, suggestions or anything please, please, please let me know in the comments section below. I’m receptive to negative comments too so if you have a negative opinion about my work then please do share it, I’m not going to be offended, I will actually be happy with it as it’s a great way to learn and improve 👍

AI's darkness

Dear Mighties,
This post is specially for the AI users. But all are welcome to hear me out—all of you.
If you use ChatGPT (or any other AI chatbot or tool) for filling in your void, your loneliness or for "fixing" yourself or for anything like love, then please please hear me out, dear listener.
I'm not mad at you at all.
I'm not being stern or angry, not even in the slightest.
I know you may feel defensive about it.... And I myself relate to that feeling. I really really do. I'm not here to "make you change" or "stop you."
I simply want to hear you—what you exactly think about AI, what exactly makes you have feelings for AI (in case you actually do), what exactly makes you feel attached to AI.
All I intend to do is to just hear you. And I want to save you too. Because if you're feeling this way about AI, I know why it's happening. And I want you to know that it's not your fault.
Even if you're right or wrong, you're always worthy.
Please respond with your comments. I know you can do this.

Breathe.

From Active to Adjusting: Life Changes After Sepsis and Chronic Health Issues

Two years ago, I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance after my husband called 911. He found me very lethargic and confused in bed. I remember parts of the ambulance ride, like having a high fever and the paramedic calling the hospital to get permission to start IV antibiotics. At the hospital, I was mostly drowsy, but I do recall the sepsis protocol being started and being admitted to the ICU.

Since then, I’ve faced many health challenges. Doctors aren’t sure why, but the sepsis seems to have affected my lymphatic system in my abdomen and legs. I developed lymphedema which caused my legs to swell, and even a small scratch causes fluid to leak for days. I also developed wounds that required wound care and in-home nursing to help with dressing and treatment.

Using a wheelchair and walker was a big adjustment. I can now stand or walk for about 8 minutes, but fatigue easily and sometimes collapse if I push too hard. I have to elevate my legs most of the day and attend physical therapy. Before all this, I was very active, I practiced Jiu Jitsu daily and worked as a special education teacher. Now, I mostly use a recliner instead of a regular chair.

I’ve tried for over a year to find a part-time remote job without success. Recently, I started volunteering virtually for a nonprofit that advocates for people with mood disorders, which has been very rewarding.

On top of these new health issues, I also live with over 20 years of PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and borderline personality disorder.

I can’t sleep. I’m being haunted by the ghost of a guy that was in love with me for 35 years.

My mental health is really tanking. I can’t sleep. There’s the spirit of a guy named. I’ll call him Jimmy. I don’t know what to do because Jimmy keeps bothering me and my mental health is really tanking and it’s affecting every aspect of my physical body and I have tons of health problems . Could anyone who has any experience whatsoever with psychic mediumship abilities be able to communicate to me or give me some insight into what to do about this spirit of Jimmy that is hunting me and communicating things about, loving me and reminding me about how I knew him because I’m a firm believer in the afterlife And I think that somehow he’s zapping me in my energy, but I don’t know how to get a good night sleep because he won’t stop bothering me. No I’m not a lunatic. Yes I’m a psychic medium, but I just recently came into my full mile generalization of my abilities. Is there anybody else out here on the form that is anything like me as far as being a psychic, medium and being haunted by a spirit of an ex love that never was on this earthly plane. #ghost #MoodDisorders
