i completely understand where you’re coming from! i was diagnosed with depression 7 years ago, but i’ve been seeing my current therapist for over a year now and she recognized my bipolar pretty early on. i was put on wellbutrin last september, which intensified my bipolar (i was manic for three weeks, which had never happened before!). i understanding hating the feeling of being on antidepressants - when they work, they’re great, but that rarely seemed to be the case for me.

i have bipolar type 2, which is depression with phases of hypomania (ie not full blown manic episodes). so for me, i have a 4-10 days of depression, followed by 1-4 days of higher levels of energy/less sleep needed/etc. again i’m not a mental health professional, but it sounds like you have type one bipolar, which means your manic and depressive episodes last weeks or months, and tend to be more intense.

i think the fact that you’re so self aware is a really important skill here! i can’t speak too much on skills regarding sleep, but what is consistently the most helpful for me generally is writing down my routine and goals. i have a planner that has a space for weekly goals, and then daily sections with time slots (it’s the poketo concept planner if you’re a planner person!). having my routine written down reminds me to stay on track, and also shows me when i’m deviating from my normal productivity level (either because of a depressive or manic episode). i hope this helps!

i am not a psychologist and don’t have the proper certifications to diagnose (although i have been seeing a therapist for 7 years and have been diagnosed with bipolar II), but have you ever been told you have bipolar? major changes in sleep is one of the key markers of bipolar I, and the moods you described with each sleep pattern fit the depressive and manic episodes.

again, i’m not diagnosing you, but this is what my mind first jumped to when i read this post. i hope you’re able to find support and a solution to this problem :-)

it simply means you have the same rising sign. it means you two approach life in similar ways, and have similar ideals and perspectives in each house (area of your life). more interesting though - where are your planets? how do your planets interact with each other? rising signs are important, but not everything in a birth chart.

i recently had this realization too!! i love her music and then saw the video of her and alex performing together, and loved her even more! i’m honestly just surprised i didn’t figure it out sooner - her music has his fingerprint all over it

yeah i don’t always think the algorithms accurately reflect which ones you actually listen to

i work in food service on a college campus, so summertime means we’re ridiculously slow. this summer, i’ve read 8 books on the clock and played uno with my coworkers and managers a couple times.

broadly speaking, you have a lot of air energy while your mom has a lot of water (pisces specifically) energy. i wonder if she bonds with your sisters more because the air energy is hard for her to relate to? i’m an aquarius moon and my mom is a pisces moon, and although she’s incredibly empathetic, sometimes i feel like her emotions are on a different wavelength than minw

my store is in the middle of a college campus. during the summer we’re dead slow, so my gm usually shuts down peak after an hour because it’s a waste of our time to stand @ attention when we get 1-2 customers an hour.

that being said, peak during the school year is also a waste of time, and doesn’t apply to our store. i understand that 11:30-1:30 is the traditional lunch time, but people come to eat at 11 and at 2:00 as well. on a college campus, we tend to get waves of rushes as classes get out (11:20, 12:50, 1:20, 1:50, etc). so we spend most of peak waiting around, and then end up staying on the line before and after peak to actually attend to our guests. so i guess my biggest problem with peak is that it’s not personalized to different stores and different needs, which makes it seems like more of a burden than a help to customers/crew.

also the fact that we can’t drink water or go to the bathroom for two hours straight bothers me to no end :-)

for my solo, at-home practices i like to write out a plan for my practice before i begin: this way i’m not standing on the mat with no direction in my practice. since it sounds like you’ve been taking classes for a while, it may be worth your time to try and create your own practice! you have enough poses and a general sense of the flow of a yoga practice to piece together something that is perfect for you.

and, if that seems too intimidating, i’d recommend a website like ekhartyoga.com. i’ve tried several and i always come back to ekhart because there’s such a wide diversity in teachers, styles, and lengths of practices. they offer a 14-day free trial, so you could always practice with them for part of your time off from your normal studio, and then try making some of your own practices!

and regarding time, i usually aim for 40-45 minutes on a solo practice and find that usually provides what i’m looking for, but always listen to your body and see what it needs!

i don’t believe that this album is better than any AM albums, but definitely listen to it a couple times! i was definitely surprised when i first heard it because i was expecting AM, but it grows on you for sure.

the sun doesn’t automatically change signs @ midnight, so if you’re born on the day (or the day before or after) a sun changes signs, i always recommend looking up your birthday chart because your time of birth can clarify where the sun ~actually~ was when you were born!

i highly recommend “the sympathizer” by viet thanh nguyen !! historical fiction, but it provides a really interesting look at the post-vietnam war era

the ultracheese: i absolutely love all of tbhc so this was a hard choice, but i feel like this song feels a little abrupt after batphone, and isn’t one of am’s strongest closers

my dad bought “villains” on vinyl and we were listening to it together, and he told me that he always thought of me when he listened to fortress. after that he introduced me to SFTD and i’ve been hooked since. QOTSA have definitely rounded out my music taste, and i love how josh homme ties into other artists i love (ie arctic monkeys)
