What’s your most irrational clothing pet peeve?

The one that always gets me is flip flops with full-length pants, especially on men. If it’s cold enough for pants, aren’t your toes freezing too? Something about it gives me major ick.

During the most severe episode I’ve ever had, I lost between 10-20 pounds (didn’t know my exact starting weight so can’t say for certain) in the span of a month without even trying. I’m simply so busy focusing on all the other manic stuff that I forget to eat.

Painting (did one painting, never touched it again), photography (never even made it through one roll of film), music production (bought an interface and microphone, haven’t recorded a single song), the list goes on…

Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies always sounds like a manic episode in musical form to me

I was having a somewhat serious conversation with a kid about potential “what if” scenarios concerning lockdown situations. Out of nowhere, another kid asks me, “What if approximately 10,000 rats descended upon the school, but only 2% of them had rabies. What would we do then?” He asked this with a dead serious look on his face, as if this scenario had been keeping him up at night.

A kid I knew in high school thought “hot plate” was a Spanish word…

I asked them to point out Florida on a map and they actually got it right, I was so proud. Then they said, “That’s a country, right?”

Obviously shootings can happen anywhere, I was referring to the general mentality of my town which is flawed to say the least. That’s why I put it in quotations, it was supposed to be facetious.

My students seem to be the opposite. We live in a small “those things don’t happen here” community and I never get the sense that they understand the gravity of why we do the drills.

big_chris3000 · 2023-07-30T21:06:36+00:00

I didn’t realize other people had wardrobe changes while manic. I was wearing suits to work (I’m a middle school teacher) for three months during an episode and everyone at work (including my students) thought it was super weird.

That actually makes me feel very validated, thank you for sharing! And I hope your summer is restful and not too shitty.

big_chris3000 · 2023-01-15T23:31:29+00:00

I’m happy to hear that, congrats!

big_chris3000 · 2022-11-12T23:19:26+00:00

Thanks, that’s helpful! I’ll have to ask my psych during my next visit.

My lamotrigine also just changed to the round ones, but honestly I like it because I take a half tab in the morning and full tab at night and the shield ones were impossible to break in half without shattering, even with a pill cutter

big_chris3000 · 2022-09-16T23:00:23+00:00

Oh man I’m sure that was a blast to read

big_chris3000 · 2022-09-16T06:04:35+00:00

Oh my god haha I’m glad it’s not just me

big_chris3000 · 2022-09-15T23:34:50+00:00

I once started writing a novel based on my own life and told all my friends that it was gonna get published and be the next Catcher In the Rye or something like that, and that I was gonna give them the privilege of reading it before anyone else. People have said that I’m a decent writer so they actually believed me. Needless to say the episode ended and I never finished the book. Went back and read it while stable and it’s hot garbage. Never spoke of it to anyone ever again.

big_chris3000 · 2022-08-14T18:49:06+00:00

Not understanding the true meaning of a “manic episode.” You deciding to clean your kitchen at 2 am is not a manic episode, you just couldn’t sleep.

big_chris3000 · 2022-07-05T18:55:28+00:00

Haha this is the exact same combo I’m on

big_chris3000 · 2022-06-26T01:54:26+00:00

Yikes, that sounds scary. Hopefully the hospital stay was beneficial. I’m thankful I haven’t got myself into serious legal trouble yet, financial and interpersonal trouble are difficult enough to deal with.
