I could feel it crouching behind my eyes. The last week or two was largely #manic , but eventually that all catches up with me. Then comes the other end of being #bipolar. I was racing to complete my drawing before it hit, but I was struggling the last two days. Eventually I decided on a simpler solution to the last problem. Now I’m spiraling downward into deep #depression again. My work has suffered and I feel guilty. I’ve read enough about being bipolar that I don’t disagree with the diagnosis
I still find the diagnosis unsettling. The acrostic DIG FAST for #mania and what each item details is like having someone plumb my life and uncovering my deepest secrets.
My #bipolarism seems to be Type 2 and/or rapid cycling. The extremes of my #depression can be astonishing to others. Over the years, my weight ballooned over and over again. I would eat the same three or four things, all unhealthy and pack on the pounds. The sense of powerlessness in my life has hung over my head for decades. The entire time I’m in depression I just want to hide. Being at constant war with my own mind is frightening and frustrating.
