Back to professional stuff. Break time on this account.

Prioritizing is always great for mental health :)

Your 3rd grade teacher was right 😉

👋🏻

someone told me that if you put a basketball under a microscope, it looks flat for days.....

how crazy is it that Earth isn't as small as a basketball and doesn't curve down as fast????????

woah.

Just do it.
It's simple.
It sounds sexy.

But first, we need to figure out what's stopping us from 'just doing it.'

happy birthday! 🎉

Fired just for being bipolar, and not because you weren't executing?

Haha, or *very* illegal 🤣

Yes, heightened creativity is quite consistent across the board!

(1) I think my regular level of enthusiasm is naturally much greater than it ever was pre-diagnosis.

(2) My way of thinking has forever changed post-mania. It's not like my mind snapped back as if nothing ever happened.

Inspiring quote, thanks! 🌟

This is when you're supposed to solve all the problems in the universe 😂

Just be patient. It takes time to figure it all out. Stay strong!!!

At least that's in the past, and you're not refusing help now. Luckily, I made it easy on them the first time. Went in voluntarily to share this newfound experience to help advance research haha. It felt like evolution of mind.

woah, why were you dragged into an isolation cell?

cool, thanks!

Same. But I've only ever had one full mania 15 years ago. Pretty much type 2 spectrum after that. It took years to find the optimal dosage for me as well. Had to find peer-reviewed journals by multiple PhDs and MDs for my docs to work with me... 😞

Hey, I've never had visual or auditory hallucinations. That must be super overwhelming! What kind of professional help have you been getting for this?

Forget flying. Falling asleep at will is the superpower most of us need. 💤

Go get that diagnosis and join the club :)

Hi. Let's be friends? 🥺

I know the feeling!

I don't think you need to apologize unless you were blatantly rude. There's already enough shame as it is. Don't worry about pleasing them all.

Hey, I'm glad that you're seeking professional help! That's the first step. Don't take any of this lightly. I was diagnosed at 18 after I had a full-blown mania. It was absolutely bonkers.

Here to chat anytime if you need support!

Oh, I am so with you on this. Night and day difference (pun intended?) when I get quality sleep. Usually it means a bit more.

If I don't, my productivity goes into the shutter all day. So what's 1-2 extra hours for us special people to unlock our magic? Haha

Thanks, Nova! 😁

Give Lithium a shot. It's been called the "gold standard" for a long time. Only thing I've been on, without any significant side effects. It's also super cheap if you don't have insurance.

I'm no doctor, just sharing. DM me if you want to chat!

Stay strong Queen 👸

Someone needs a hug 🤗

Oh, I didn't even know this. Thanks for sharing.

I felt some pre-emptive mania in the past from caffeine. Rarely ever drink it anymore.
