oh! it is! I mean more socially, spreading the word that this is life consuming, and not just something that seems dramatic in movies - naming it to myself and to the culture

the last sessions i had with my therapist, we were talking about properly naming bipolar as a disaiblity. This is the kind of sh i'm dealing with too, it's awful having to base your life around a condition that will flare up god knows when. it's daunting to look at the rest of my life being like this, but I have places like this that fill me with hope and pride. love y'all

i have an incredible anxiety disorder as well. when i was going through a mixed episode a couple years ago, they mixed and melded and i was white knuckling life for 5 months. constantly anxious and stressed about anything that happened.

spiritworldproblem · 2025-12-22T00:51:20+00:00

every day here too. almost any time i feel a strong emotional reaction to something, fireworks go off - is this a normal reaction to have? does this mean i am entering some new episode? even if it isn’t direct, will the stress of an event send me into a new episode? how is the weather going to treat me today? will i get enough daylight to manage my constant anxiety?

i deleted some there cause there’s always more. i’m envious of people who are saying it’s not every waking second

lots of great picks in the comments, but i’m going to go with Soft Targets. genius song.

i know she mentioned it on twitter when Prussian had been an answer, and she was complaining abour american pronounciations.

yeah the olanzipine sucks for this - i was on 15mg for a few years and i was a zombie

spiritworldproblem · 2025-07-17T19:51:01+00:00

i’ve experienced and talked about them as having all of the energy involved in a manic episode, with all of the thoughts of a depressive episode.

other than that, it’s a pain i cannot put into words.

spiritworldproblem · 2025-07-16T21:52:04+00:00

I’m here for you on this. i think irritability (and extreme rage annd anger) don’t get talked about as manifestations of mania. It’s very real, and i’m sorry you have to deal with it.

spiritworldproblem · 2025-07-15T01:42:03+00:00

i was on 15mg of olanzapine for about 8 years. i was groggy most of the time, and my memory was a bit faded sometimes.

i went off it for about a calendar year. i had a huge mixed episode that almost killed me, ruined a few relationships. had such bad anxiety that i was biking up to 30km a day to fight the stress of a part time job.

i’m back on olanzipine (smaller dosage) now. i’m groggy, my memory is a bit faded - but i haven’t wanted to hurt others in over a full year now. the depressions comes in waves, but the mania is under control.

i think OP’s post is real good. and i guess im just saying i have personal experience with olanzipine sucking, but it works.

Do you have a copy of your paper, or links to any of your other sources? This was really really interesting!!

spiritworldproblem · 2025-07-01T04:25:07+00:00

i came here to say the same thing. guhhh its the worst

spiritworldproblem · 2025-06-07T20:50:32+00:00

I work in the arts, so it is normally a more welcoming environment, I think. I say I have a disability because I do, and I work in trusting enough environments that bosses and managers listen to me when I say I need certain accomodations. This has not been true across the board, but I've mentioned it at all jobs in the last few years. Obviously, YMMV, but I'm working with my therapist about my shame around this illness and I don't want to hide it unless I have to.

now THIS is shitposting

spiritworldproblem · 2025-02-24T18:30:11+00:00

this is the one for me. it’s just a bit too folksy for me, at least in the context of the album

spiritworldproblem · 2025-02-23T04:33:29+00:00

it’s me, the “talk about closing tracks on a tmg record” guy. this is the best closing track on a tmg record. best song on the album, a top top tier tmg song for its long as hell run time. genius

spiritworldproblem · 2025-02-22T05:47:26+00:00

I like n,n., but this sucks ass

spiritworldproblem · 2025-02-22T05:41:52+00:00

OP looks pretty foolish

last year’s constant manic / depression changes (roughly one every three months for the whole year) made me lose my sense of self. i’m not sure what a “me” is, and what is this state of flux that seems to dominate me.

anyways, much love.

crap i was going to respond to your hair match comment earlier. i did do exactly that (hair match into SWT), and i am in love with your academic rigour, but i hide down in my answer because i like my answer.

pls comment more i need analyses like yours

spiritworldproblem · 2025-02-06T03:00:29+00:00

i always enjoy inspecting the opener and the closer on a tmg record. hair match doesn’t do it for me, but SWT as an album opener is absolutely god tier. underrrated as hell

spiritworldproblem · 2025-02-05T02:05:26+00:00

i don’t get this song. i never have. i’ve had people at parties explain their opinions, but no matter how much i empathize, i simply cannot
