One thing I find, for myself, is that I am constantly reading about herps. If I can find a good website with lots of pictures and lots of information, then I will be there as long as possible. I am "addicted" to information as it seems.
It helps to make me tired too, so that I will sleep (although now I sleep too much). Lately I haven't found too many sites that can keep my interest lately, though I think it is more about adjusting to medication.
Another big issue that I have is forgetting. I
always forget to feed the animals, luckily Gary (who is Bipolar as well), always remembers
He is a perfectionist, and enjoys cleaning and organizing things. He is always changing around the cages and furry animals. He loves to feed the leos and beardies, and will decorate their enclosures to look as natural as possible.
Does anyone here, who has some sort of mental illness, have a partner or spouse with a similar illness? I am wondering how it works for you. Do you feed off of each other's moods, or do you opperate seperately?
We tend to feed off of each other. If we are aware of it, then we can change it (luckily, lol!). It also helps that we understand what the other is going through. Although, he truly does not have the addictive nature of animals
I certianly do
