My depressive episodes are so bad I can’t function 😭

That’s when I know things are heading in the direction of mania, when I start picking up shifts being involved in every conversation volunteering to do the extra jobs and super organised. This is when my friends and family step up and we look at my current treatment plan and bring things back down. I have super supportive and involved friends and colleagues because I’m very open about my bipolar so heaps of people look out for me. Up or down.

Yes, people weren't experts on bipolar disorder. My psychiatrist doesn't want me working and I mentioned it to him at my last visit.

Definitely worked a lot more but now being told to reduce my hours as they think it’s a trigger if I overload

I taught myself how to solder in three months and learned several aspects of electronics repair while sleeping three hours a night every single day. I felt like I was going to change my life and start my own business. On the fourth month I ended up in the ER with severe stomach pain in my chest and stomach. Months of doctor’s visits followed all the while being told by every single one telling me I was perfectly healthy. I was losing my mind because I was in chronic pain. I later was diagnosed with bi-polar I. Turns out I was manic through most of my 30s and even though I didn’t do severe damage to my body the lining of my stomach had thinned, I lost most of the hair on the top of my head and my sleep disorder is so severe I basically have to be inoculated in order to get a healthy amount of sleep. My medications are helping me a lot and I am working on learning to slow down and absorb moments instead of constantly working my brain to the detriment of my health. I was congratulated and encouraged to believe that these habits were admirable and a part of life. Turns out I’m not invincible. I advocate for people to acknowledge and seek help for their mental health problems now. Please, learn to slow down, before your body makes you.

At work it’s gotten to the point where before an episode I always know. I will be WAYY faster and WAY more energetic. So at that point I’ll try to take a break but at that point I’ll be walking back and forth outside trying to collect myself. I do end up getting a ton more hours but it ends with me getting overloaded and emotionally and physically exhausted.

All of my clients praise me. The depressed time I push my self. I would tell them that I have not been sleeping. That was fine with them they understand and then I would be back hard work I would do. Then I got diagnosed and my pill helped me greatly.

The 1980s were horrible for people who have mental illness. I’m a boomer and I am damaged because of my generation. I was exactly like you describe. When I worked it was 80 hours a week. No sleep no meds because mental illness was a secret.i got maybe 2-3 hours of sleep. My mania would look like it was calming down for a few days. Or a couple of weeks. And then msnus would peak again. This is exactly what it feels like
