жасмин: Bipolar Mania →
aeneanmonstra:
If you have three or more of the mania symptoms below most of the day — nearly every day — for one week or longer, you may be having a manic episode of bipolar disorder:
Excessive happiness, hopefulness, and excitement
Sudden changes from being joyful to being irritable, angry, and hostile
Restlessness, increased energy, and less need for sleep
Rapid talk, talkativeness
...
That awkward moment...
…when you disappoint yourself more deeply than you ever thought possible.

The Diary of a Writer: Faulty Lines →
thediaryofawriterr:
The sun is shining through and bright Yet the day pierces pain and cold, You walk into your life, one page at a time Another story untold.
Four moons ago you believed in dreams And all that remained unspoken, But that was before you were ripped from the seams And each of them were broken.
The eyelashes, candles and shooting stars Failed you once again, And the beat of your...
I have thoughts and/or prayers for you.
magicalgiant:
Today was okay. I feel like I’m getting better and I’m seeing a doctor tonight. I broke down in AP Psych, but luckily no one saw. I was able to just go through it. Someone asked if I was okay, I lied and forced myself to say “I’m fine” without my voice breaking. Life’s hard and I just need to look forward to the good things. You should too.
Whichever you prefer. =)

wheelskeepturningroundandroundd:
Just had someone tell me that knowing I was hurting myself killed them inside, and that I was an amazing person. Can honestly say no one had ever said that to me before. I would never have guessed anyone cared so much. Everyone always says I look too happy to be depressed.
I’ve never had more touching moments in my life than those times that I have opened...

mostlynotokay:
I have been struggling with clinical depression for a very long time. Although I feel like I have been in hell for the past few months and I have a lot of experiences with these things does not mean that i will or even can say that I know how YOU feel. Each of us are our own person and I…
I think it’s great that people are out there to listen. =)

I hate that feeling
dearmiriam:
When you’re having so many emotions and everything is mashed up in your mind. You don’t know what to say or do. The frustration of not knowing how to describe how you’re feeling sucks. You don’t know how to deal with anything anymore.

I normally have trouble making it to class, but I managed to go to my winter term class all but one day… and I made an A in the class. =)
I bet you did something great too. What is the most brilliant thing you have accomplished since the start of the new year? Tell me about it in my ask box!
"Everyone's a little bit bipolar"
whenextinctionoccurred:
No! No, they’re not! Not everyone has a ‘little bit’ of a mental illness that can literally make them unable to function like a normal person in a debilitating fucking state of mind.
Everyone has emotions, yes. But not everyone has mania. Not everyone has deep depression. Not everyone has the mixed fucking episodes.
So just stop. Stop pretending you understand. Because...

Side effects
one13kind:
My mom and aunt just had a long critique of me & how fat I’ve gotten in the past month from my medicine. This helps me none. Now I feel like purging and dieting and skipping every meal for the whole year. :/ I want to cry. I would rather be manic and close to suicide than be as fat as I am.
Too often psych meds make me feel worse about myself because I’m still...

Bipolar II is knowing that you just burnt every bridge you worked so hard to build.

mickryan:
In between the highs of mania and the lows of depression, bipolar disorder still affects you. The paranoia that you’re about to start rolling up or down the mental hill grates on you as soon as you slip away from absolute neutrality.
“Slip away” meaning you’re not a blank emotionless slate. Maybe…

What is Bipolar II? For me anyway...
Bipolar II is when most of your days are spent feeling sorry about yourself, and you want to pull yourself out of the slump, but you don’t know how.
Bipolar II is when the music is too loud and people need to just stop talking because you can’t manage the noise in your own head - much less everything else. It’s a constant whirring - like someone left your brain on fast...
