#Introduction
I identify more with being bipolar than being gay. That's how intrusive it's been in my life. Yup, I'm perfectly comfortable talking about being bipolar or depressed. Feel free to ask questions or comment.
Hello :) I am a disabled artist in Seattle, Washington. I am sharing my photography on Pixelfed.social and having an actual Mastodon account is helpful as well.
I like technology, linux, art, photography, music, meeting nice people, learning new things, science, animals, and nature especially.
I am friendly and follow back if you'd like to connect.
Low-Dose Oral Film Reduces Mental Disorder Agitation
Interim results from a clinical trial show a drug given as a dissolvable oral film in a lower #dose reduces #agitation in people with #bipolar disorder and #schizophrenia.
I hate being #bipolar. I can see beauty all around me, but when I look inside, there’s nothing but confusion, anxiety and fear. Last night’s dreams I don’t think of as #nightmares, but they were full of conflict. Woke up at 4:00am. Then there’s the auditory #hallucinations. So, I look for beauty with my camera or my #art. Some days that’s the only thing that gets me out of bed. Some days that’s the only thing that gets me out of my head. #mentalIllness#Photography
Being depressed isn’t an essential part of being #ActuallyAutistic, but is sure hell is common and easy to develop after decades of being excluded from society, regardless if one masks or not.
Another night of #nightmares only to wake up early and not be able to go back to sleep. I know this is all part of being #bipolar, but I seriously think my brain is trying to drive me crazy. 😕
I've been around for a minute, and my #Mastodon account is @skroobler, but I migrated from my single-user #Akkoma instance to my new, single-user #Calckey instance. I'm a guy with a TOUCH of the #bipolar (cough), and I live in a travel trailer with my 3-legged tabby cat Waffles. Fairly left politics; if I had to define them let's say broadly by political content creators with large platforms, I am more #MajorityReport than #TYT (by quite a lot, actually). Here is a picture of Waffles to kick things off properly.
Mr Snu is all packed and ready for hospital tomorrow. We will hear early morning if there’s a bed available for sure. Once he is admitted he’ll be in for at least 2wks. It’s such a bummer, we both have our fingers crossed the ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) will help.
I enjoy meeting new people here and have loved my experience so far. I return follow, especially if you have an avatar photo, some posts, an introduction, a bio. Cheers. 🖤 💀 🦋 👾
