I gave until I couldn't give any more.

Perhaps you have a hidden talent in pole dancing. Somewhere around here are two. Just look for the mirrored panels on the ceiling.

Cold remedies

i just drink copious amount of tropicana orange juice and marmite on toast xD dont think theres much medical benefit but it helps me cope and the cold usually dissaptes quite quickly. though i often get the tickle staying on my chest for quite a while after

There seems to be an epidemic of cases of bipolar in the usa and uk.

I havent heard of a specific epidemic of bi polar but mental illlnesses prevalence (spelling?) is growing. i suppose in part because we have better tools to diagnose issues but also as it is being more accepted for people to have mental health issues more feel able to come forward. previous in the uk it was "stiff upper lip" and all that jazz and people were expected to just move on or end up in an asylum. things like stress and depression weren't seen as "real" illnesses so people were largely told just to get on with it.

then antidepressants and other meds became common place so you could choose to either still just deal with it or become numb on meds. personally im not a big advocate of meds, good for sort term in severe cases (and depending on the illness eg schizophrenia they can be good long term) but largely stuff like anti depressants i dont feel should be the "therapy/cure" for mental illnesses. they just dampen the symptoms instead of dealing with the cause. i also dont believe that mental illness can be cured, as in the same way as a physical injury there will be some kind of scar. but you can develop coping mechanisms that enable you to lead a perfectly "normal" life.

tl:dr - its more accepted, better treatment, less taboo.

I have been dating this woman for a little over a year now, and it started like the perfect match.

i would say it was the right thing, not every relationship was meant to last. i understand it in point as my previous long term partner and i drifted apart and your lives didnt fit eachothers anymore (and some other stuff) so it turned out to be the best thing for both of us to move on. we were happy and i will always remember the good times we had together but i wouldnt go back. as soco said about loving vs being in love, i loved him but i had stopped being IN love with him for quite some time. dont regret it, its a learning curve. you now know better what will work for you and she for herself.

Have another suggestion PV.
Volunteering. Giving of a little bit of your time to others brings many, many rewards and is dirt cheap to do.

i do volunteer! ive created a hub of a charity at the uni and i deliver workshops around the stigmas of mental health and mental illnesses :) its fun but difficult xD

ALWAYS, ALWAYS promise yourself a reward after finishing something difficult--and don't welch on yourself!

I always have a small reward for myself, its why i try and do work in the day so i can do whatever i want to in the evenings.

That's good, about the trip. Visualise these plans as a positive place of refuge, for a bit.

Expensive - not necessarily. Haven't needed to spend a dime on hobbies, some examples: Origami from draft paper (misprints), including coloured ones from expired ads (and recently someone posted a giveaway of these by the kg...). For carving, wood can be found in abundance, and had some old knives around the house (or a small one bought for a ~$1). There are elaborate online resources & video tutorials for everything nowadays. Baking likely saves a bit given high cost of finished products here (and always makes a nice touch for bday cakes). Sometimes all it takes is creative thinking to circumnavigate the issue.

If i got a hobby it would want to be something i do with people, ive tried doing stuff on my own at home and the only one i really enjoy is baking but if i did that all the time id just get fat xD if only i could upload pics on here id show you some of my creations :')
