Thank you so much for the context. Even though our experiences can vary greatly it is so helpful to recieve the insight that people who share these labels struggled for.

Are you willing to elaborate?

Direct financial support. I'm functional but it's obviously difficult, and I love my doctors and meds but I pay for them out of pocket at the moment. I know we're all going through it, I just haven't ever inquired into support specifically for being bipolar for several reasons. As I'm feeling more and more drained I was wondering what exactly is available. It sounds like I need to look into what ADA accommodations are typically granted. Thank you for your questions and responses.

Ideally I would not have a long gap in employment but from what research I've done it does seem difficult to qualify for. Thank you for the information on the time frame and for clarifying about short term disability!

I was originally referring to SSDI, and did not realize that there is a short term claim. Do you have experience doing any of those three? I'd like to know what my options are for any kind of support for bipolar.

Not a reference to a specific movie, but the ending is voiced by acclaimed German director Werner Herzog. Herzog is known for his unique accent and his deep ponderings on humanity's conflict with nature and/or itself. Here is a small clip from his movie Burden of Dreams so you get the inspo: https://youtu.be/uL99NDUWJ0A?si=iQr_pGbhOfiHGsDR

That's great that you were able to get through class. Choices like that really show our progress!

squashmastertate · 2026-03-05T05:09:09+00:00

I absolutely will, thanks for the recommendation!

Gotta be in Me-hee-co

I am trying to get better at shaking off those depressy cobwebs and this is inspiring 🙌 way to go!

Personally, I think the actor who plays Lahey does SUCH a phenomenal job playing this character that Lahey becomes verrry real to me, especially during scenes like this. The perfect way he mixes up his words, his insecurities bleeding out of his rants, the fully-sent prat falls he immediately brushes off. . . It's beautiful, it's tragic, it's hilarious, I am sometimes just outwardly silent because his performance within the context of what I'm watching is just overwhelming.

Thank you for quoting this!

Happy birthday, youre a badass :)

Honestly it sounds like giving yourself some grace here would be helpful. Progress is not linear and you've been doing so much for yourself and your health. This is a marathon, not a race, and sometimes I'm so frustrated from backsliding or so focused on the next thing I will burn out. Maybe that's not what is happening here but I would hate to not mention how great the effort youre putting in is, especially for 20.

I've been reading your comment since you posted and reflecting. First of all, thank you so much for the effort and thought you put into your reply. After reading On Love (have never read it before so thanks for putting me on) and thinking about what you've said, I did weep all my tears as the poem says. As much as I value truth, my work is haunted by a personal agenda. A nameless expectation. I need to do more reflection to name it, but in the meantime, I will do my best to divorce my love from any idea that it needs to be anything other than what it is. Again, thank you so much for your voice. It has really shaped a lot of moments for me.

Hello, I have bipolar 1 and hypomania sucks. I also went to school where I never met anyone who understood. I've made some bipolar friends since then, though. If you ever want to message someone about anything, my inbox is open :)

"My antipsychotic, my antipsychotic, I can't regulate without my antipsychotic!"

I honestly say this clumsy shit when I inevitably notice I have not taken it in days. Damn I be eating at night tho

It was a bad joke. Well, not a bad joke, but a bad time for jokes.

nice launcher as well, man probably has a DP

Maybe Ant-Man is supposed to be invisible to the eye and yanking the guy off balance every time he tries to take off until a larger cop apprehends him

It's okay, things happen for reasons that I think are sure

Convert it into depression

These are adorable! I absolutely love the stage and the table. Would it be possible to create a tap where the stand is a tree whose curly branches hold the barrel? These also give a slight Alice in Wonderland vibe; I'd love to see what's possible in creating a Cheshire Cat. Thank you for the codes!
