I Hate Annoying People
Annoying type of people: depressed people whom you support the shit out of but they don't listen to your advice at all and continue moping. It's like throwing food into the garbage.

@Iwillsurvive I got a lot of firsthand experience with this particular topic

@Iwillsurvive I have bipolar disorder, and really bad (but intermittent) depression is part of the package.

@SW-User ahh. yes I have researched about it.
Sorry to hear. it sounds more than difficult. How do you handle it?

@Iwillsurvive a combination of meds and lifestyle changes, including moving to where we live now. I went through a lot of therapy but that phase is largely over with now. I had been doing a lot of things inadvertently that were making it worse, and identifying and avoiding those things was part of the set of lifestyle changes I made. I have to be quite disciplined and watchful. I know the kinds of things I'm likely to do during episodes and try to preempt them, so for example I don't control the money or have credit cards.

@SW-User Uhh, I had tripolar disorder and I recovered from it without any meds or therapy.
SW-User
@Existentior tripolar? You mean mixed episodes?
Existentior · M
@SW-User Yeah, I really meant bipolar because Tripolar is psychosis.

@Existentior My condolences, it's a hell of a monster to live with. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 35, so I had no therapy and no (effective) meds until that point. I'm not going back to life without mood stabilizers, though. I get psychotic depression and it's unspeakable.
