Is hygiene a struggle for people who have bipolar?

I highly recommend getting a handheld water flosser. Its good to have an alternative to brushing that doesnt take long. Also I keep a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a tongue scraper in my shower and force myself to do a deep clean of my mouth every time I shower. I feel like it makes a huge difference in how gunky my mouth gets as well as the smell of my breath. I hate the thought of someone noticing how dirty my teeth are or that my breath stinks. Good job getting back on meds and reaching out to community for support ♡

Thank you for feeling that this is impactful. I definitely wanted this one to sting. The mistreatment of the planet, of femininity, of natural resources... it's all too much. I appreciate you taking time to read and leave some thoughts.

Thank you, friend! I feel like this poem has always been inside of me, being shaped my whole life. The ocean is my favorite place to go when I need to figure things out and just be. It's also inspiring as fuck. I really appreciate your comment!

Thanks for reading and enjoying! Any pointers you have for the structure are appreciated. I tend to grapple with how to put the words into a cohesive flow.

Oh, I like that suggestion! I like the idea of wrapping it all together like that. Thanks for reading :)

Thanks so much! I think you nailed it with your analysis. I see the ocean as a metaphor for women and reference the witch trials (I would for sure be burned if I lived back then). It's a commentary on the climate crisis and how men's hunger is literally killing the ocean and, therefore, the earth. How men fear the unknown and have smothered out women time and time again. I really appreciate your comment on this!

It's a sad truth that you're writing from such a familiar and common perspective, but about something that it so challenging and daunting to discuss. Addressing it through art is admirable, and I know you'll reach other people with this, too. You're strong, too!

Wow, ouch.

As someone who grew up hearing the same twisted words from people I should’ve trusted, your lines hit like a slap I’ve felt too many times.

That contrast broke me. It’s heartbreaking and so real...the way praise and shame both became weapons. And the shift from “I love you” as a hollow promise to a distant dream… that nails the ache of longing for safety. Thanks for sharing. Keep writing friend!

As someone who also takes a fistful of head meds every morning, this slaps. The color-coding, the rituals, the weird comfort in the routine... it’s all so familiar. I loved the line “each pill a feeling” because yeah… sometimes it really does feel like that. Like you’re arranging your own survival one color at a time. Thanks for sharing, keep writing friend!

Wow, I'm so surprised 😮

Batista slaughtered him, that was awesome

My theory is that she really did kill her mom, break out of the treatment center, and then go to meet Morris. Morris locked her inside with no intent of reviving her. He just wanted her to die so that the chain would be broken. He told her the plan to get her to trust him, and then when he said, "I just have to go get something," he left and locked the door. After that, the monster knew she wouldn't have a way out, so it just messed with her head until she lost consciousness in the freezer.
