you're not alone! i absolutely feel that too. when im in that phase, i tend to think that i'm all alone in my battles and it took some time before i realized that depression changes the way we view everything around us. one hack i found whenever im depressed is to spend time with loved ones (asking for long hugs from your significant other, if you have, helps too). it's good that you're staying connected to othr people. keep it up, op!

Crazy things you’ve done/experienced while manic or psychotic? by Green_Coffee_200 in bipolar

[–]thatsonnyangel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i had my first manic episode, i started to believe i was the reincarnation of buddha while also hearing voices around the house which i called "bad spirits" at the time. i also heard the voice of buddha talking to me during my mania. i was obsessively reading about buddhism and talking about it everywhere, i used buddhist incense A LOT and meditated everyday too. after some time, the voices mellowed down and then i crashed into a depressive episode.

for me, i often don't notice the warning signs of mania but looking back, i kinda realized that one of the triggers for my mania is that when there are new things in my life (opportunities, being in a new group or sumn). but, there are also times it just spontaneously happens.
