Would you be/want to be friends with a mom who is bipolar

For context- I have bipolar type 2, I am medicated and stable. My mom told me that I should tell friends that I’m bipolar because they might not want to be friends.

My mom's bipolar (I'm not sure the type or details like that) and it wasn't diagnosed until my late teens. She doesn't make it known so I don't feel like you have to let people know. People don't go around saying Hi I'm depressed do you want to be my friend anyway y'know? I just feel like that's your business especially if you feel like you're stable. I think this kinda goes with "It's rude to look in peoples medicine cabinets" type thing. If that makes sense 🤔🙃

I have a child who has bipolar 1 with psychosis and I work with people who have many various SMI’s. Yes I would be friends with them.

Feeling sad - baby friends

I said how I was going to take my little one to a little park nearby at a certain time, as before there had been a nice range of ages playing there. My partner commented that he was sad our 1 year old didn't have any friends to play with. Now our 1 year old has 3 main different friends but can't see them all the time due to the other mum's going back to work and fitting it in. I know I'm not the best socially myself, but I've been really trying. I just don't know what to do. Even when I've spoken to or met people on here, they just stop talking/disappear. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm taking them to different baby classes but I feel like everyone knows each other and stays on their pairs or groups, and I feel like an outsider looking in, wishing that was me. Don't really know what I'm expecting from this, just feeling upset as I'm trying my best and just getting nowhere.

Urgently need sex advice! How do I get my husband off?

Okay so my husband rarely gets off during sex. It usually takes about an hour and half of sex before he finally does. I’ve asked him about it and he says I’m the best he’s ever had, and he loves me and our sex, but sometimes I just want him to be done faster. By time he’s done once, I’ve gotten off like 4-5 times. Tonight we have a date night planned and I know we’re going to be having sec after, and I really really just want to impress him. I’m looking for advice on anything sexy or fun/unique that will make things move along a little faster.

Am I in the wrong

Since having my girl I’ve struggled with not having much of a sex drive and struggling to get intimate I never get a break from baby I pretty much do everything on my own even tho I have a partner, I caught my partner w***ing in the shower and he’s turning it around on me as if it’s all my fault I’ve explained I don’t like him doing it as the thought of him getting off to other girls etc it make me feel like I’m not good enough now he’s mad at me .

Please tell me I’m not in the wrong before I go insane
