First of all, I will say that most of this is meant to be a satirical/funny/ironic/dark humor/light hearted kind of post. This is not meant to give anyone anxiety about how they are feeling.
- stay up all night watching your fav tv show
- clean the whole house in a day
- get up un realistically early for no reason
- wash the same dish twice
- make a mess
- take up power lifting
- sign up for many different subscriptions
- think of joining every club you can think of
- want to be where the people are
- experience a lot of thoughts together all at once
- “hear” music playing in your head on repeat all day
- want to hear music playing all day
- want to stay up late
- want to go fast
- just stay up all night
- never want to nap even though you’re exhausted
- bake everything in the kitchen
- call all your friends to catch up
- catch up on all lost paperwork
- redecorate your room(s)
- sit and stare off into space for seconds, minutes, hours
- order a ton of rubber chickens on amazon
- lose everything you just set down
- only get 4.5 hours of sleep
- bump into things a lot
And yes, that’s all in just one day, not to mention the intense speed at which I typed this post or the fact that I do not at this point care about spelling errors, grammatical mistakes or any of the perfectionistic things that I do care about when I am in depression phase of bipolar.
