Sometimes I feel guilty for having #ActuallyBipolar in my profile because nothing ever happens anymore but now a lot of the warning signs for #hypomania and a very slight #psychosis are showing up. I have doubts that this is the correct way to interpret what's happening anymore and I'm exploring that but it's basically the same thing that always happens anyway.
Don't worry. I have a concrete plan and support who has been alerted already.
One of my weird quirks is I can't listen to music in the background. It hugely distracts from what I'm doing and so becomes irritating.
I like music, but my world is free of it unless my main task is listening to music, or at movies, concerts, clubbing, etc.. I don't even listen to music in a car.
I get the same problem with television in the background, even if it's muted. Changing background visuals are as distracting as music.
A small favour please. I can't read large blocks of text when I'm depressed (too overwhelming) or hypomanic (can't focus). Anything past about 6-7 lines long is too much.
If you break up long paragraphs into shorter ones, it's works for me. I'm okay with long posts, or complex topics, but I am simply daunted by a lot of continuous text. And it's difficult to keep my place while reading a large block of text.
I got 8 hours sleep last night which is double what I’ve been managing of late. Thank fck for that as my #hypomania has been getting out of control. I narrowly avoided a full on war with a senior manager at work, and nearly fell out with an old friend on Twitter, all the while feeling angry, fighty and on the verge of tears. Hoping that the wired rage will now subside. And the #hypersexuality. #bipolar is complete mind fckery #cyclothymia
#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.
