So if you're going through a tough time and you think you can't go on, will you take my word for it when i say you can?
You'll have one good month maybe. And that will be enough for the next three.
It's enough. ♥️
Week after week of therapy help me readjust but it's a cycle that i am free of only few months a year.
I find myself incompetent in daily life situations, behind on many things and disconnected from my children many times.
It all seems pointless especially because i don't do anything i enjoy to relax or rejuvenate.
But through all this, I am able to see the struggles that are far greater than mine. And that keeps me going.
A little bit of gratitude and a little everyday inspiration.
Watching myself spend it and watching the joy a shiny new totally useless thing brought me, momentarily. But by the end of the month, the pinch is real. And it deteriorates how I handle my days. Enter greater dysfunction.
I have temper outbursts at the smallest things.
My sense of what's okay and what's not has been messed up for three months. Small things seem important. Important things are ignored.
I swing from feeling trusting and safe to wild suspicions of conspiracy against me +

I talk about my mental illness quite a bit and quite openly. But having some insight doesn't always translate to having control over my illness.
I am functional but not optimum. And I mean that honestly. I don't expect 100 percent every day but I have like two days in a fortnight where i am satisfied with my day.
As a product of bipolar disorder, my impulse control is poor. In the last three months, I have spent money unwisely, knowing it was unwise, +
I saw two complete batshit insane things on Twitter today. Everyone from every camp hating on a totally cringe India Today video, and a guy confessing to fraud of The Wire.
I am kind of glad that i got social media out of my system. And also that i am old.
