Anonymous asked: So I read your story. I can relate to just about everything, but I was wondering if you noticed your symptoms when you were in middle school?
I wasn’t aware of them until I was diagnosed in my junior year of high school. But when I look back at my middle school years, especially now, I believe my doctors are right: that I have been experiencing symptoms even then. I remember all of my high school symptoms to a less severe degree and with more, longer euthymic days.
People look at me odd when I narrate what I’m doing aloud, but they don’t realize that I sometimes need to do that. I sometimes need to do that in order to focus when the rest of my thoughts are racing all over the place.
You don’t need to add your own commentary. You can just leave me the fuck alone if you think what I’m doing is so damn odd.
I decided it was easier to keep writing updates on Twitter.
Also, just a friendly reminder that this is supposed to be a writing blog that derails into mental illness topics and politics. It’s not as weird of a mix when you remember that I have bipolar and EDNOS and am working toward a pre-law major.
That said, I’ve been feeling the euthymia slipping into hypomania. I wonder what will come of this…. Hopefully, something good.
There’s this blog out there which calls people out on the use of the word “bipolar” in a frivolous and negative way. And while I agree with the sentiment, especially when people write things like “OMG you’re so bipolar!!” without actually knowing what bipolar disorder really…
Agreed with thatisnotbipolar. Connotation exists. It’s not all denotation.

I smell spam.
My daily dose of choking—I mean, sanity: lamictal, abilify, fish oil, daily multi-vitamin. Sad thing is, they’re small compared to others.
