One of the hardest things for me after receiving diagnosis was the relentless comparison.

But unlike before, I didn't compare myself to others, but rather to my own hypomanic self.

The self that functioned at 4 hours of sleep, with sharp focus and tremendous energy. The self that exuberated confidence and charm. The self I wanted, but could never truly be.

To me, that is perhaps the most twisted and evil side of this illness, which makes you turn on your brain like nothing else.

Someone tell me how I’m supposed to live on knowing that it might never get better at all

Wow.

Me: *googling bipolar and hypersexuality”

Google: here are fifteen articles why you’re a burden in your relationship

The hypomania experience is everyone thinking you're on drugs because of your behaviour

Mood: Self-hatred

My love language is to ruin my sleep schedule to talk to you.

feeling the new depressive episode coming is like fighting with a 999 lvl boss but realizing that the chances are less than zero

It should be said more often that bipolar disorder and many other serious mental disorders CANNOT be cured.

Which means struggling with symptoms WHILE medicated is actually expected and common.

MANAGING symptoms does not mean being free from illness.

Mental disorders are more often than not chronic, so NORMALISE recovery that is not linear and symptoms-free.

Lastly, comparing yourself and your functioning with those around you only SEEMS to work because our conditions are invisible.

idk who needs to hear this but your manic episodes are valid even if you don’t think your actions were “crazy” enough

Don't mind me, I'm just casually sabotaging all my positive relationships with negative delusions because my life doesn't feel real unless something dramatic and destructive is constantly occurring
