Ugh, brain chemistry, why have you got to be like this? We were doing so well before you decided to shift gears. #bipolar #bipolar2

So I've spent the last 2 days obsessively cleaning the kitchen, and I'm like: I'm probably having an episode, but might as well take advantage. The kitchen looks great.

But, it had to end sometime, and now I'm hitting the typical low after the high. It shouldn't last too long, 🤞, but will likely be followed by a mixed episode. So if you see me posting word shit, just ignore until things return to normal.

#bipolar2

I get it, this is a real issue. When I am 'hypo' (hypomanic—I live with #bipolar2) I post a lot more frequently. I also have much-loved friends who sometimes post trigger-laden content when they are triggered or struggling themselves. I don't want to unfollow or mute them forever, so a seven-day mute that doesn't hide notifications is a completely silent way to take a break from seeing their posts.

I was paradoxically coping like a champion because, in the aftermath of my diagnosis of #bipolar2, I had more or less withdrawn from my Sydney social networks. I was just waiting to be and feel better enough to see them again. And when lockdown came I was already the most locked-down person so that was fine.

Hoo boy, was I not fine. I am still slowly undoing the damage that time did to me. My latest personal project is to stop hoarding food. My housemate basically asked me to.
