#MixedState might be the hardest part of dealing with my bipolar. (Well, that and #RapidCycling.)

#Hypomania isn't awesome, but I get a ton of shit done.
#Depression sucks, but at least I can sleep a lot of it away.

Mixed State is just my brain being a total fucking asshole.
The worst of both.

🧵 2/4 Informed by the literature, target 30 min/day of BLT exposure. Patients wary of emergent #hypomania or partial responders, can initiate 15 min/day & increase by 15 min each week to full response (or 30–60 min/day by the fourth week).

y'all don't know the stuff they grounded me with guys. i swear this stuff would knock a guy twice my size out. 😵‍💫

c'mon i miss a bit of the #hypomania

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.

In the Soup (1992) ⭐ 7.1 | Comedy, Drama 1h 36m | R

#SeymourCassel 's performance as Joe in #InTheSoup was stellar. Although not related to #psychiatry, his character perfectly illustrates what #hypomania can look like.
Imperfectly shot but clearly made with feelings so the editor made all the right calls. Great movie!

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

What if all the inspiration and energy (read:ability to function like a normal person) of the last eight months was just #hypomania? This is not good not good not good.

Me: I'm having such a good time Brain: sure would suck if you get hit with a low mood, and go nonverbal, and come off as rude and uninterested in your friends Me: *image of Michael Scott from the office with the subtitle reading: "[softly] Don't."*

Me, when the hypomanic side of me made lots of plans that the depressive side of me can't follow through on.

#cyclothymia #hypomania #depression #mentalhealth #anxiety

Well, I got almost a week of "normality"; that's not too shabby.

Unfortunately, I can literally feel the creeping shadow of #depression again.

I'm so sick of the crushing weight and terrible thoughts.

If I had a choice, I'd take #hypomania, at this point.

Hello, darkness, my old ... nemesis?

#bipolardisorderawareness #bipolarmanagement #bipolarawareness #depression #hypomania

Mania can mean racing thoughts, sleepless nights, sudden anger, or an overwhelming drive to do it all. If this sounds familiar to you or someone you love, know that you’re not alone.

just #hypomanic enough that i find it personally annoying. a little wound up, but able to get tasks done – with effort.

#bipolar #bipolardisorder #hypomania

made the right choice: needed downtime. got some sleep and feel closer to baseline. still a bit "up" (hypomanic) but i don't feel like i'm moving too fast.

despite the U.S. holiday: following routines, taking meds, and managing my energy.

#bipolar #bipolardisorder #hypomania #disable #disability

only got a bit of sleep so called out of physical therapy as a precaution. i'm still fairly hypomanic. while better than yesterday, i don't want to risk winding back up today.

following routines, taking my meds (as usual), and resting.
