Oh shit I never even considered-

BEFORE HAVING A CHILD PLEASE CONSIDER:

-your favorite animal
-your favorite color
-your favorite dinosaur
-your favorite letter
-your favorite number
-your favorite character from the PBS hit show Daniel Tiger

Your child WILL ask you and they WILL NOT take "I don't know" for an answer

An infographic titled “Stages of Mania in Bipolar I–II” from “one impossible thing at a time” by Luke Steuber. It is divided into five sections, each describing a different stage of mania, accompanied by blue and yellow illustrations. 1. Euthymia (yellow background): Quote: “Is this happiness? Is my bipolar cured?” • Stable phase called “normal.” • Responsible, focused, confident. • Worries about depression, may delay tasks. • Often diagnosed as cyclothymia. Illustration: Person holding balanced scales. 2. Hypomania (blue background): Quote: “Sorry to ghost you! I swear it won’t happen again!” • Easier social interactions, active on social media. • Starts projects like writing a business plan, overspending. • Rapid profile picture changes. • Thoughts speeding up. • Considered the limit of Bipolar II. Illustration: Person raising a hand with a light bulb above, standing in front of a crowd. 3. Mania (Manic Episode) (yellow background): Quote: “I’m not manic, listen, I think we can sell this.” • No need to eat, drink, or sleep. • Starts many projects impulsively. • Makes others uncomfortable. • Experiences “time dilation.” • Hypersexual, emotional, dehydrated. Illustration: Crowned figure standing above a group of smaller figures. 4. Mania (Mixed Episode) (blue background): Quote: “Maybe if I finish this one last thing I will matter.” • Energetic yet deeply sad. • Risk for substance abuse and self-harm. • Associated with creativity. • Quick but fixated thoughts. Illustration: Person surrounded by icons of droplets, flames, and hearts, representing intense emotions. 5. Psychosis (Psychotic Episode) (yellow background): Quote: “No time to discuss mania; bugs in the mattress.” • Psychosis is a state, not a condition. • More common in formal thought disorders. • Most likely in Bipolar I mania. • Important to have a plan; warn emergency services if necessary. Illustration: Person with question marks over their head and bugs around them.

A year or so ago the bipolar community here contributed to some infographics I put together. I just made some updates to the “Mania for Normies” handout; more feedback is always welcome, these are living docs!

I’d love for folks to share it with anyone who could benefit 😃

🙌 thank you carry on

I'm inventing a new snack food called crunchy bread bites. It's just croutons packaged in a chip bag, so that it's socially acceptable for me to eat them all in one sitting

@dungeonsanddads.bsky.social I woke up from a dead sleep this morning with this in my head: Coolzel for Zhouzel

A reboot of Community except it takes place at Shiz

My toddler is elated bc she just discovered that everyone, yes everyone, has a birthday.

I often forget/refuse to take that stuff off too because I am a goblin person

My toxic trait is that I never take activation stickers off my bank cards

Incredible!!

Besht teaches us that we should not lie when asked how we are, for we never know who we are talking to and whether they may be a prophet in disguise.

If we hide our pain, we deprive small and big helpers from the knowledge they need to repair the world with us.

You're telling me that the guy who put Martha Stewart in jail bc "the vibes were off" couldn't seal the deal on Trump

I have been saying for years that "we're like a family" is code for "we'll treat you like shit and pretend we aren't because we're familyyyy"

Me: Can't believe Stanley cup is getting milkshake ducked

like i just put on redbone by childish gambino and nod to this FUNKY TROT and 'STAY WOKE' and think 'are you kidding me conservatives you think its cooler to stay asleep what the heck are you talking about this is incredible, stay woke forever'

That would require them admitting they were the reason the civilian was killed!

My toddler just called her chocolate milk "big spicy" and I'm not sure what kind of omen that is for the rest of our day
