Great way of thinking. I am doing the same. Bumpy to navigate, but as you said… taking things one day at a time. Thank you for sharing

Totally get it lol. My only nudge/suggestion is not to use the crazy. It is a harmful word and sets us back (those with bipolar disorder.)

Rarely on Bluesky, so much going on. The highs, the lows, the obsessions in my life. Sometimes it hard for me to figure out if it is my bipolar or autism.. or both

Filling out disability qualification paperwork is causing my anxiety and levels of embarrassment to increase. It has to be done… but it is extremely hard to do. Wish they could do this part of the process easier. Afraid it will help induce a bi-polar episode.. just as I have been feeling more “even”

When you are bipolar, taking your meds is just an important spoke in the wheel… but I would argue that it is the most important thing you can do for yourself, and others, that day.

Filling SSDI is a blast (NOT.) Brings up all the intricacies of me having BPD1. Had to call the disability determination department and ask for more time because I can only handle it in small chunks. Wish I wasn’t bipolar when I read through my answers.

Don’t know what’s going on. Been dealing with the depressive bill shit, but a couple nights in a row very manic and not sleeping. No clue what to think about it.

Not feeling too shabby today (so far.) Definitely “numb.” Working late afternoon. Hoping I can keep myself together through the entire day.

Never apologize for being brave and being yourself. Anyone that needs you to make THEM feel better for giving you crap for being real about your BPD is not worth your time. Keep your head up, and fork them.

This depressive episode is getting to me and my spouse just doesn’t understand. She thinks I can just snap a finger and get out of it. She is also tired of me reminding her that this is a symptom of my Bipolar. I love her to pieces, but she is not helping.. but making it worse (sigh)

This bipolar depressive episode is one of the weirdest ones I have had…literally everything is pissing me off, but cannot get out of my room. Pretty much have a fuck the world and fuck people mentality
I don’t like it, but cannot snap a finger and change it

I guess cycling through the mania and the depression in a same day is my current new equilibrium. Well that blows. Maybe should sleep, nah overrated for tonight. Another fun day (and night) of having bipolar disorder.

My day living with the beginnings of a bipolar depressive episode and trying to be funny
Not sure if you can see the smile on my face.

Did a job interview on Friday. Randomly started crying in the interview for no reason. Embarrassed and walked out of the interview. Spent next two days in my spare bedroom. Med doctor was running behind so had to see a new/shitty one. Feel like dog shit now

I feel extremely down and depressed today. Some of the reasons I understand, some of the reasons I have no clue. I hope this doesn’t last through tomorrow…….

I am so sorry friend. I am with you and doing my best to get “back down.” Not sure if you have a quiet safe space you can chill in for an hour or so.. tends to help me

How will this work?

Sounds weird, as I have never even downloaded Tik Tok, but thinking about doing a series of Tik Tok videos starring a (diagnosed) bipolar sock pocket. Don’t care if anyone even notices.. but sounds like something worth my time.. and kind of fun. Won’t be any insensitive info or behavior shared

Why Idespise small talk.”Hey, how are you doing?” My: “Well pretty shitty, my medicine is fucking with me.”Then I end with “Enough about me, how are you!” Do people ask questions and NOT want honest hours, I lean towards yes. Cannot tell if that is my Bipolar, autism, or asshole attitude talking

As some are aware I am underemployed while I apply for SSDI. I cannot handle a so called “normal job,” to put in perspective I had nine jobs in 12 months due to my bipolar disorder. Tried Door Dashing last night.. took ALOT out of me but I think I can do this one for now. Wish me continued luck

Yeah, this happens to me consistently. I walk into a room for a purpose, and then I stare in space “wondering” why I am in the room.. but knowing I had a purpose. If you ever come up with any tricks to help on this please share. It gets frustrating when it happens

I would love to connect. I can relate to the Bipolar Disorder and the PTSD

Soooo.. since I have to be cautious not too make too much money per month while I am applying for SSDI, I have decided to try and give Door Dashing a go. This afternoon is my 1st attempt
Wish me luck!!
FYI I absolutely love Spaceballs 🤣😅🤣

I hate it when a day is planned a specific way, and my spouse intentionally throws it out of order. I wanted my “me” time not rushed. She knew that. A huge …Fuck Fuck Fuck. Not having signs of mania, it is ok to just be a bipolar person and just pissed sometimes

Annoying when you look at your BP feed, and you see so many people trying to sell a book. As someone with Bipolar Disorder this is really annoying… for me at least

Doctor said my new medicine would take two to three weeks before I really started feeling the benefits. First antipsychotic I have ever taken. Actually feel better today than I have in a long time. Hallelujah

Not all mood stabilizers work with the mania. Might be worth looking into. I had to add an extra med on top of my mood stabilizer in order to feel more “even.”

Finished intake with third therapist this year (didn’t care for 1 or 2.)
Always such fun going through your entire life and your BD for an hour and a half. Seems like cool guy, but let’s see……..

I totally have been there. Definitely sounds like you need your meds adjusted/looked at… I have tried five different meds so far, and finally found a combo that truly works
