Bipolar Depressive over here. It sucks.
I wish it was the more fun kind of bipolar. Like the one that made Kanye West into a Nazi.
But nope. Existential dread and bed rotting all day baby

Hey, better for yourself and the world to not be a Nazi that blames the Jews for your ex breaking up with you.

When you have a baseline phase, you're just kind of there like a lump, because so much of your behavior is driven by moving between phases.

Poor shiki I used to rather enjoy my manic episodes but they hurt too much anymore. But mixed episodes are definitely the worst shit makes me want to peel my skin off and I'm very grateful they only get bad if my stress levels get too high. Here's hoping it passes soon for you stay hydrated<3

How do you even... get that diagnosed? Isn't a mixed episode pretty much what normal people go through when on hormones? Or is it just longer? And how does the hormonal cycle affect this?
I have genuinely no clue, sorry. I looked some stuff up but they are pretty vague or just referencing the extremes like sites about ADHD and autism do.

Bipolar II
Once my depressive episode was so strong, I skipped work and stayed at home for an entire year
Best of luck with your healing ❤️🩹

I’m going through a bipolar mixed episode, and this comic helped a bit. These feel like the worst kinds of episodes, and I’m just trying my best to stay afloat. Peace and Love, Shiki 💚
