Mixed-Episode Madness

Oh, look who showed up uninvited: a bipolar mixed episode, crashing through my life like a drunk cousin at a wedding. It’s chaos, it’s loud, and it refuses to leave. Imagine every emotion you’ve ever had trying to throw hands in your brain at the same time. That’s me right now.

I’m angry for no reason. I’m devastated over everything. I’m vibrating with energy but also so exhausted I’d fight anyone for a nap. It’s like my body is screaming, Do something! but my brain is like, Yeah, let’s sit here and stare at the wall for six hours instead. Peak efficiency.

The worst part? I know exactly what’s happening. I can see the storm brewing. I’m fully aware that my brain is being a little jerk, flipping switches between manic overload and existential dread. But knowing doesn’t fix it- it’s like watching your house burn down and thinking, Oh, I should’ve bought a fire extinguisher. Too late now.

And let’s talk about the irritation. Every sound feels like a personal insult. Every person existing within a 50-foot radius of me is suddenly unbearable. Earlier today, I got irrationally angry at my own hair for “not feeling right.” That’s where I’m at, folks.

Meanwhile, my thoughts are having a full-on rave. They’re blasting ideas like, “Start a podcast! Write a book! Change your entire life right now!” Except I can’t focus long enough to finish a sentence, so I guess I’ll just sit here, overwhelmed and annoyed, while my brain keeps yelling about how productive I should be.

And don’t even get me started on the sleep situation. Too tired to function but too wired to rest? Love that for me. It’s like my body is running on fumes, but someone keeps slamming the damn gas pedal.

So, here I am. Spinning out in the emotional Bermuda Triangle, unsure if I want to scream, cry, or learn how to play the ukulele at 2 a.m. Honestly, I’m just waiting for this episode to end so I can go back to my regularly scheduled dysfunction.

Until then, I’ll be pacing the room, sighing dramatically, and fighting the urge to throw my phone out the window. Bipolar mixed episodes: the gift that keeps on taking.

It's that time of the year where things get weird for me. So sad and tired - just want to sleep, but can only mange to get 4-5 hours of broken sleep a night... I do nap during the day, but can only mange 45 mins to a hour and a half. I tend to have these ridiculous mixed episodes, and I'm worried I'm slipping i into one.

this is me struggling with my bipolarity disorder while trying to adjust to every fucking medication and mixed episodes

I mostly just caught up on my sleep and napped all day. When I got up, I noticed my 6mg vraylar and "as needed" bottle of hydroxyzine was in my mail.

I am relieved I don't need a ride to the pharmacy. It's all the way downtown and it stresses people out to take me there.

My coffee subscription is also here. It has lions mane in it which I need to be careful with. Anyways, it came with a free sample of matcha which I am excited to try in the morning.

what if just ended it here? jumped and didn’t look back? my partner hasn’t even read most of my messages to them, doesn’t open things. I am so jealous when they give attention to other people but I don’t say anything — why are their messages more important than mine? But whatever. They should have friends. They should have other people. They should do other things. And it isn’t just them. My best friend doesn’t even fucking care if I’m alive. My dad’s already told me to kill myself. So, what if I just fucking did it? What if I ended up? What if I give up? They’ll be fine. They do without me as it is. I’m just a waste of space. So, who the fuck would care?

Meeting a Ghost - Katherine Estelle

You found a way to come see me; whether you fixed your car or borrowed one,  it didn’t matter to me when I saw you finally pull into my driveway.  I was nervous,  but I walked up to you first anyway, in true fear of my mom poking her head out the door or window and talking to you and thinking my first moments with you.  You stepped out of the car and had this smile on your face,  one that matched…

It's kind of a shame that the "anti-filler" mentality has reached a point where a lot of writers (and fans) assume that if a show isnt constantly moving the plot forward and establishing lore, its basically filler and wasting space. Personally I think its good, if not necessary for a show to slow down and just have characters hang out, or deal with smaller conflicts.

It feels like a lot of stories just want to rush to the emotional scenes with barely any build up to really make it feel earned and satisfying. I've seen fans pester creators to rush the story along and reach the next big set piece rather than take the time to really know and appreciate the characters.

Why should I care about the emotional stakes in episode 2 when I barely know a character's likes and dislikes? how they handle conflict, their approach to relationships both platonic and romantic. etc,

[robynleefaryna]

I just really want this to work.

Why does this always feel like a losing battle?

Because even in between the dark things… there’s something broken in me.
