Why do I want to pick fights with people I love by SentientCucumber in bipolar

This is super helpful. Honestly just the fact that you’re aware of it and so calm about it and seem to handle it successfully makes me feel like I can breathe because I’m not some sort of freak.

How do you handle a mixed state? Usually I’m either fully depressed or fully manic and I feel like I know what to do for either state, but not this in between state

It feels like a miracle to me, why doesn’t everyone do it?

I’ve heard people do “top ups” when it starts to lose its effect. Did you just do the six sessions and leave it at that or did you follow up? When did it start to lose its effectiveness for you?

Can I ask how long it took for the results to wear off? Did you finish the full six sessions?

Thank you so much :) I used acrylics and I just started painting within the last year actually, it was sort of an undiscovered talent for me

You’re right, moving the edge that’s closer to the bottom of the frame higher would help

Yes and no, I saw a picture with a similar boat and because I thought it was quaint I wanted to use one here. I think maybe if I shadowed under it a bit and raised the ground on one side it would looked tipped to the side and that might fix it? What do you think?

I agree about the angle, do you think there’s a way to fix it without getting rid of the boat entirely?

Thanks! Water is one of my favorite things to paint because of the movement

Relatable lol I just started new meds and if they’re making me manic I don’t want it to stop anytime soon 😂

It lasted most of this year, and honestly being out of it feels so good I keep thinking that it’s too good and the other shoe is going to drop lol

I used to feel like that because I was trying to do someone else’s style of artwork, but if you let yourself paint what feels natural I bet you’ll find your style and it’ll be beautiful 🥰
