Yes. This. Spending so much time in depression makes me almost miss my manic moments that make me feel like a creative and funny person. I get addicted to not sleeping, start thinking my phone is playing the actual artists im listening to, that my TH-cam feed is just for me and trying to tell me things that they really aren't, and the scariest one was the last time I went off my meds I heard my daughters voice. Its so hard, but so important to get help and find a med combo that works for you! It sucks I have 5 meds, but I've never felt better being stable. Im old school with my mood stabilizer, and I'm on lithium. It has changed so much for me. Im so sensitive to the other mood stabilizers and anti psychosis meds. But again. I let my diagnosis define me for so long and was so hard on myself. It's just something to get through. And it can be worked through with help.
I never realize I'm in mania until I'm in it in it. It sucks. I have bipolar 2 and I'm usually depressed. My psych has been working with me on antipsychotics and mood stabilizers as well as antidepressants. I'm doing pretty good right now but man, those days before my meds were so rough 😢
Havnt been manic in a couple of years but for some reason i was hypo thus year for 3 days then went into depression afterwards nd it made me realize how trifling bi polar is. I pray that once i pick back up fasting tht it will all disappear for good nd no im not on meds nd pray i never have to get on them amen
Sometimes I miss the manic me because when I have mania I get creative and kind of play make believe. When im on my meds I feel like im so logical and boring. Even though when im manic I can kind of keep one foot in reality so I don't go jumping off a cliff, I feel like a kid for a bit. But adults can't get away with "im sorry sir I thought my pen was a gun so I was killing enemies and couldn't leave even though the building is closed."
Oh come on the 101 during rush hour. It's not moving. You can walk😂😂😂 I'm just joking. Please do not walk in traffic anywhere unless it is an emergency and you are being super super safe and cautious. It is dangerous. You will never win against a vehicle.
It takes a special kind of person to work with people in mania and psychosis in psych hospitals. Thank you for your compassion and empathy. ❤
@@erika9115 my pleasure!

It’s sucks because hypomania makes me super productive but I don’t get it often now that I’m on meds. I have ADHD and bipolar. Everything sucks 😭
