As someone with bipolar disorder I sometimes (part 1)

• have mixed episodes of depression and mania

• fluctuate in weight. When I went on medication I was 110. Now I'm 175.

• get irrationally angry at whoever is around which includes my parents and my very patient boyfriend

• experience brain fog where concentration is impossible and I can't be productive

• experience hypersexuality where I hit on anybody that moves

• have insomnia. It is 3 am as I write this

• have delusions of grandeur where I believe everybody is secretly in love with me (if so, it is a big secret)

• won't shut up

• won't accept I am actually bipolar

• hear voices and have delusions

• see things only in black and white

• can't keep up with my own thoughts

• spend all my money on things I never use

• am as moody as eeyore

• 
  

• skip meals

• throw myself headfirst into my writing until I'm consumed with a project

• believe I am finally better until the next manic episode rolls around
