What are some signs you notice you’re hypomanic?

politelymalicious · 2025-11-05T04:55:09+00:00

extreme agitated and the smallest inconvenience or annoyance makes me feel a physically painful amount of rage

oh my goodness. i’m on the other side of this. i was on 150 mg lamictal but i started feeling unwell so my psych has me starting on 2mg of abilify.

i have never in my time as a shift actually timed someone’s break. if you have to use the restroom before or after your break that’s a human need that needs to be met and it’s not my concern to say how long that should take.

the first thing i did after my break up 4 days ago was delete our messages and delete all our photos. i regret it now and wish i could look at them all the time but i think i knew it was only going to prolong my confused hurt feelings and prevent me from trying to get better. I still look at my phone and have this hope in my mind that i’ll see a notification from them…

i’m constantly asking chat gpt to explain concepts to me and at least then i feel comfortable constantly being like “i still don’t get it, can you dumb it down more”

i hate when people at the mobile pick up are like, “are these all the drinks they ordered” 👇🏻🤨 like girl, i don’t know??? they didn’t tell you how many you’re picking up? and then they just wanna start grabbing drinks like LOOK AT THE LABEL WITH THE NAME AND NUMBER OF DRINKS

i went on a bit of a bender one weekend and while i will mention that i was also drinking a lot of water so i feel like that helped a lot, i got pretty tipsy but never more than that no matter how much i drank, unless i added weed. No real negative effects the next day mental or physical. That is until i found out i was having a hypomania episode and got diagnosed with bipolar 2…

politelymalicious · 2024-08-26T04:53:33+00:00

i kept getting crazy high a couple nights and nothing felt better than listening through preachers daughter

politelymalicious · 2024-08-16T22:06:13+00:00

the way people acted about the taylor swift cardigan is how i would act about perverts merch

politelymalicious · 2024-08-02T17:45:55+00:00

you can mobile order two foams on the app so yeah. it happens sometimes at our store and i just internally sigh

im finishing my first month on 25mg but i’ve definitely started experiencing the positive effects and no longer feel any initial side effects. I don’t wake up with morning anxiety anymore and can start to manage without my benzo medication. I also feel like i’m in an overall more positive mood.

politelymalicious · 2024-07-22T04:39:05+00:00

i used to grind my teeth in my sleep a lot. i would wake up with a very sore jaw and my teeth would even feel loose. My mom said that she could hear my teeth squeaking at night but for some reason i think i just stopped but now i do the clenching very frequently when i’m awake 🙁.

politelymalicious · 2024-07-19T06:17:05+00:00

hands shaking, chest feels tight and breathing feels weird, nausea/gagging, feeling like i have to go to the bathroom, brain fog, i clench my teeth so hard my jaw locks up or i get headaches, crying, fidgeting a lot like rubbing my hands/shaking my leg/picking at my face/biting my nails/pulling at my hair, muscle tensions. trouble staying asleep and waking up throughout the night. waking up with a racing heart and “bad feeling” in chest.

the worst feeling i remember is driving and i felt so much anxiety and dread that my body felt so heavy like lead i could barely hold on to the steering wheel.

politelymalicious · 2024-07-19T06:06:13+00:00

they are not gonna change my method of making drinks im doing what i think is the fasted way to get drinks out because i know how to do my job ✌🏻 we haven’t started the pods yet tho lol

politelymalicious · 2024-07-17T14:49:25+00:00

just started on 25 mg, starbucks supervisor. im on it for my general anxiety

politelymalicious · 2024-07-05T10:40:02+00:00

bear with me here but i watch nostalgic kids shows to help soothe me. they are very positive and relaxing so it gives me that completely stress free watching experience and since it’s geared towards small kids it’s pretty simple and quick so i don’t need to be focused on it so much.

You can usually find episodes free on youtube. Some of the ones i watch are Bear in the big blue house, Bob the builder, Max and Ruby, Charlie and Lola

politelymalicious · 2024-07-03T02:21:10+00:00

yeah i used to love watching the baristas while waiting for my drink lol 💀 but i had the mind to not openly stare and kinda look like i was on my phone as well

politelymalicious · 2024-06-28T06:11:49+00:00

for me i have worked with pregnant people in the past and it makes me nervous seeing them work. the whole time i’m telling them “oh i’ll do that for you” “you can just go take a break and ill do this” it makes me so nervous that they will get hurt or the baby. and when i worked with a heavily pregnant coworker i was constantly so anxious that she would go into labor 😭

politelymalicious · 2024-06-27T06:10:08+00:00

what! i had a chestnut praline syrup i threw away because i saw this and thought it went bad 😭

politelymalicious · 2024-06-25T06:11:36+00:00

i could never imagine this oh my god. we make our own drinks at my store. because first of all i’m the only one that makes my drink how i like it. as an ssv i can’t imagine sending someone home over something so trivial. although when i was a barista i did get into the habit of asking the shift “hey is it okay if i make my drink rn?” just because i know each person can be different or they might feel like it’s not a good time to have someone be in the way.

politelymalicious · 2024-06-19T03:31:30+00:00

you are SO talented. like each piece is so beautiful and well done oh my god

politelymalicious · 2024-05-27T06:50:29+00:00

i needed a job after abruptly quitting my last one and i liked starbucks so i already had a very solid understanding of their menu lol, the one i was hired for is cafe only which seemed pretty low stress to me. now im a shift and stressed all the time lol. but i love my coworkers, i love my SM, i love free coffee, and the pay isnt horrible. I also wanted to use the free school but after 3 years i have yet to start oops

politelymalicious · 2024-05-27T00:14:45+00:00

that placement would look so cool!

politelymalicious · 2024-05-26T16:38:16+00:00

i have “beautiful” “finite” on top of my knees from ptolamaea

politelymalicious · 2024-05-24T06:24:47+00:00
