I don't always come home from work at 10pm and stomp dance on the porch to Excitable Boy, but when I do, I'm probably manic. David said the cats inside were alarmed and worried, but it got Pooka off the porch in the rain to go pee.

insomnia nights
"brain seeking dopamine" days
think i've gone manic
#haiku #mentalhealth #bipolar2
Interesting that there are surface level mania and depression swings day to day like weather and then like climate there are background ebbs and flows of depressive and manic periods over longer stretches of time
Anyone else have bipolar2 and have experienced this?

How do all my bipolar baddies monitor their mood? I'm so bad at it.

A doodle I did this weekend. Blue marker on white paper. It's possibly a crazy bird with spiral eyes.
After my weekend including CPSTD flashbacks and a depression crash, I sucked at my job today. This is a doodle I did yesterday. ☹️

During my recent depressive episode I received exceptional professional care. What makes the difference between good and poor care when you are unwell?

Living with a serious mental illness does not mean you are weak. You are in fact filled with tenacity and grit.

What does depression actually mean? It can be a death sentence for some. I want to raise awareness that it can be much more than a dip in the road, but an absolutely life changing event that puts you at direct risk.

After decades of instability, my #therapist has officially moved me to 3 month check-in appts instead of monthly full appts. When this all began, I was hospitalized and given IOP treatment after my release. It’s been a long road. It’s a huge relief #bipolardisorder #bipolar2 #bipolar
I’m looking back over the years at some times when things went spectacularly wrong after high school, and from what I can remember, I felt a lot like this when they happened.
I wish someone had diagnosed me earlier so I knew wtf was going on. #bipolar2 #hypomania
Yep, this hypomanic episode is still going strong. I have so much energy! But this level of intensity is also exhausting! 😞 My phone browser tab count just keeps rising as I think of related rabbit holes to wander down.
And I’m up after only four hours of sleep, ready to read some more. #bipolar2
For the last 3 months I thought I was doing great. I thought I was finally managing life better. Turns out I was just hypomanic. I am now in a full on depressive episode. I’m not sure how long this episode will last. I’m so disappointed and sad.

So I've spent the last 2 days obsessively cleaning the kitchen, and I'm like: I'm probably having an episode, but might as well take advantage. The kitchen looks great.
But, it had to end sometime, and now I'm hitting the typical low after the high. It shouldn't last too long […]
The thing they don't tell you about a bipolar diagnosis of any flavour is that when you're nailing something a little voice appears In the back of your head wondering if you're actually nailing it or if you're just having a manic/hypomanic episode.

I hate feeling like the world is falling down around me. Like there is nothing I can do to make this feeling go away. I want to scream, to cry hysterically. I try to tell myself this is just an episode and it will pass…but that doesn’t help…I just feel so defeated #bpd #bipolar2 #mentalhealth
Uh oh. I can’t sleep😩 #bipolar2 #bipolarii
definitely severe and that she doesn't understand why they keep denying me. Had a #manicepisode this morning as well. I love having #bipolar2.
Today's big mood. Bipolar sucks.
Light the cigarette
And say, "I'm sorry, my love."
I messed up again

Well…that didn’t last long. At least I got to sleep for a few hours now my ass is wide awake…day 3 of mania…
#mentalhealthawareness #bpd #bipolar2 #mania
Running off of 3 hours of sleep…day two of mania…hopefully I can sleep tonight. 🤞🤞🤞
#bpd #mentalhealthawareness #bipolar2
Mania hitting hard tonight…at least I’m writing…I should be sleeping dammit.
#mentalhealth #bpd #bipolar2 #mania #writing
Went to bed at 10:30pm didn’t fall asleep till around 2am. Then I tossed and turned all night and kept walking up. Then I was up for good at 5. The mania is hitting me hard today. I have so much to do today and I don’t have the energy. ;-;
