CBD Oil is a freakin' miracle

I’ve created a lyric video for a song that’s very special to me.  It’s about finding stability between both poles.

Hypomaniac episodes are the best thing that has ever existed since ever.

[bothpoles]

Amen.

I’m alive. I don’t want to be, but I am. And if I’m alive, that means the Universe still sees some value in me. And if the Universe values me, then that is what I’ll live for.

Heisenberg has nothing on this Bipolar Bitch in the morning. You can be the one who knocks, but are you ready for the one who answers?

I suppose I had become complacent with my panic attacks. Having gotten used to daily anxiety “episodes”, I wasn’t ready when the “big one” hit.

I posted this to my Tumblr, but since it’s a big part of me, it should be shared here, too. This is who I am. You always hear about those people with OCD who flip the lights on and off exactl…

My daughter shares her OCD story.

Do you guys ever get that feeling where nothing is exciting anymore?

Like, the holidays just seem like another day.

My 16th birthday that I had been looking forward to forever was just a school day.

New episodes of my favorite show don’t get me pumped anymore.

Everything is kind of dull and I can’t really like anything anymore.

this, ladies and gentlemen, is a top-notch sign of depression. this is not supposed to be a normal thing to feel.

Other sings of depressions can be:

No hunger. Like, you eat because of the pleasure of it or because you have to, but you aren’t hungry anymore.

Procastrination, even of things you like.

Feeling no sympathy for anything. You begin to question if you love something or someone at all.

Feeling like you are in a dream (depersonalization)

Having trouble sleeping. It can be nightmares, it can be difficulties falling asleep, difficulties waking up, waking up in the middle of the night, etc.

Being really tired without reason.

Intrusive thoughts (that may say that your family doesn’t love you, or that what you are feeling is completely normal, for example. It’s never true)

Not caring about your own security anymore, not because you want to die (most of the depressed people don’t want to commit suicide) but because you just forget it. You forget to look both ways before crossing, wearing your seatbelt or even you can forget about eating.

Desire of isolation. You just want to be alone, and anyone feels like a friend anymore.

Trouble focusing on things.

Because one cannot change behavior that one is not aware of.

I began as vigilant, as I should have been.

But vigilance turned to a hyper awareness that became paranoia.

And so I went back inside.

Let me tell you how the f*ck antidepressants can cause suicidal feelings.

I’m so proud of all the people that put their mental health first

that recognize and work to stop disordered behavior

that celebrate small goals and milestones

that embrace qualities that make them unique

that struggle but never give up

that take one day at a time

[bothpoles]

Thank you.

Anxiety? Check. Paranoia? Check.

brain: I noticed you were feeling good today

brain: too bad you're unlovable trash who deserves nothing

me: wow

[bothpoles]

Mmm Mmm Mmm... sexy sexy hypomania.

When I'm in a hypomanic phase, my mind morphs into Stephen Hawking, Deepak Chopra, Winston Churchill, Michel de Nostredom, Abraham Lincoln, and Martha Stewart... and then does this to me every night, keeping me from sleep.

Thoughts. I hate thoughts.

A simple thought can change the world, or it can cause the deepest pain.
