Okay - hi how you been feeling lately? Do you/have you had mixed episode(s) before - what they like for you? What’s your relationship with food when manic? How does your bipolar interact with your social anxiety like does it cancel out if manic and you feel more confident etc or when depressed does it get really bad? /// Are you currently reading a book (what book)? Blue green and yellow in order of preference? Did/doing/going to do anything pleasing to you will week? And have a good day!! :) X
omg this all I wanted lol! Tbh, Ive been better. I just started a new medication and adjusting is a lot harder than I anticipated. Plus I’m just under a lot of stress rn. And yes I have had mixed episodes before. They happened more when I was a child and I haven’t had one in probably about a year now. But I always know that they’re confusing for me bc I’m sure what to feel or how to react to them. I usually get very anxious and upset while having no energy and just being very sad.
I tend to actually eat less when I’m manic, I think that I don’t need it or I’m just not hungry. Any extreme emotion that I feel, I tend to stop eating. I have a very hard time reminding myself to eat and having an appetite for anything. And when I’m manic if I’m eating it’s usually crap like fruit roll ups and hot cheetos.
Actually it does! When I’m manic I tend to be braver and have a tendency to go up to more people and order my food and drinks with little to no hesitation. When I’m depressed and/or anxious it can get really bad. to the point where I won’t want to leave my house if I know I’m gonna be around people. I have a hard time going into stores or taking care of things at my school that I need to.
I actually am! I’m reading The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur! and I love it! it’s a collection of her poems and I mean she is just amazing! I also follow her on IG!
No, unfortunately, a lot of my friends at the moment are ignoring me and so I have no one to talk to or hang out with.
and thank you! you have a good day too!! Thank you for the ask, it helped distract me for a bit! <3
