I hate it when people think (hypo)mania is just having a ton of energy to do all the chores you have when in reality it is

not being able to sleep because you can't, meaning you get up in the middle of the night to go to cycling or for a drive

not finishing your actual chores because you need to write a book, learn how to play violin, or solve world hunger

spending money you don't have in things you don't need, like a pony or a new car or fifteen pairs of shoes

having to take medical leave from work so you can focus on your current project, such as writing a book or solving the world hunger

having rage towards other people because no one but you is competent enough, smart enough, or fast enough

your thoughts going so fast you can't really do anything because your mind can't process anything but your racing thoughts

I broke down today. I guess my soul needed a good purging cry. I was doing so well. It had to come to an end. I hope this now weeks long down cycle soon goes away. I just want to wake up and not be sad for that day

I will find people willing to have uncomfortable conversations with me.

I will find people who stick around even after a disagreement.

I will find someone who's just as excited to talk to me as I am them.

I will find someone who won't shame be for being complicated or sensitive.

I will find relationships worth having and maintaining.

I will find someone who can respond with love, whenever I have doubt.

I will find people who ask questions before jumping to conclusions.

I will find someone willing to accommodate my needs, as I do them.

Planted radishes today

February 27

In Wisconsin

70 degrees

Climate anxiety quiets

"You'll harvest them on your 5th anniversary"

Tulips have made an appearance

My urge to start writing has too

Will it grow

make something of itself

We shall see Weirder

Things have happened

Yet we persist.

this is my fandom blog, but reddit doesn't help. i am currently in my mixed episode, but AS ALWAYS i feel like a fraud who just pretends™. do y'all experience some of those symptoms? i feel like i've got the opposites of what everyone talk about

- veeeeery sleepy. need a nap everyday and can't wake up easily in the morning.

- tingling in hands

- heartache

- blurry vision

- feeling like i'm living in a dream (brain fog, dissociation, derealisation - you name it)

- music. i need music. VERY LOUD.

- mood fluctuates within hours - i can feel a 'click' in my brain and out of sudden i slide into bed for crying session

- never happy - always uncomfortable, irritated, restless - and always aware of the episode

- walking fast, dancing, moving around just to release energy

- irresistible urge to go shopping, irresistible need to possess new exciting things

- veeeery high libido

- boost in self confidence and experimenting with looks - makeup, clothes, even body posture

- other find you funny to be around, you flirt with everyone

- if depression hits it's worse than 'regular' depression - more agressive, less predictable, less 'stable'

- people can tell you are nervous or that you are surrounded by 'electric cloud'

- weird food cravings

- delusions - for me they are hypochondriac, i'm feeling like i'm dying soon or i have a terminal illness etc.

That's my experience.

Sometimes it feels like I made up my abuse. It even feels like I’m faking my mental illnesses. After being invalidated over and over I now doubt myself.

Things people should know about bipolar disorder

1. We don't all the time jump from mania to depression from one moment to another. Rapid cycling means that a person experiences four or more episodes in one year. Rapid cycling only occurs in 10-20% of people with bipolar disorder with women and people with bipolar II being more likely to experience periods of it. In short, for an episode to be even counted, a hypomania should last minimum four days, mania for a week, and depression for two weeks. The exception to the rule is the times when a person is suffering from a mixed episode. Mixed episodes are defined as experiencing both depression and (hypo)mania either simultaneously or in rapid sequence. Around 40-50% of people with bipolar disorder experience a mixed episode at some point in their life, some more frequently than others.

2. External and internal things do trigger episodes. These mean things like stress, big changes in life like a breakup or a move to another city, but also hormonal changes, change in the season or weather, and even changes in our sleep patterns (yes, we shouldn't randomly stay up for the whole night). Even some doctors still live under a false belief that bipolar mood changes cannot be affected by anything external or internal except the brain randomly deciding to go haywire, while various studies show otherwise. Studies also show that 1 in 4 people with bipolar also have SAD (seasonal affective disorder). The episode can, of course, also occur totally randomly and without any clear reason.

3. We are not stupid. For some reason, plenty of people seem to live under the assumption that people with bipolar are generally unintelligent. This is not the case. In fact, a study found that 12 risk genes for bipolar disorder were also linked to intelligence. In 75 % of these genes, bipolar disorder risk was associated with higher intelligence. Moreover, the connection between intelligence and bipolar disorder is largely seen in those with high verbal IQ (VIQ). This type of intelligence is associated with creativity, abstract reasoning, and comprehension through spoken and written words. However, if the illness is very serious, there is a risk that the person's cognitive skills, such as verbal skills and memory, are impaired, especially during episodes. Some medications, such as Topamax, are also associated with certain side effects that may affect your memory, thinking, and even language skills.

I've been dissociated since January 3rd. Just different levels. I know I am still Grieving, but when will I come back to me? Feel human again.

This is the only thing that I cannot seem to get control over with my mental health. I have been able to work through my anger and depression and my medication actually does wonders. I have been feeling so much better mentally. and haven't had rage fits in a while.

However, maybe that's because I am not really here anymore. Will I forever feel numb?

Having bipolar feels like I'm that one badly written character in media who doesn't have one consistant personnality

I'm like equally the brooding emo vampire coded character and the insane narcissistic extraverted rockstar. The character sheets got mixed up or something.

Lowkey jealous of everyone who knows what their core personality is. Traits that are permanent to them and unique to them. Wish I had that
