I literally cannot overstate how important creative hobbies are when dealing with mental illness. If you can’t draw, there are coloring books. If you can’t write a novel, you can write in short journaling bursts. If you can’t sing in the shower, you can listen to music. Sometimes with mental illness it feels like we have this dark presence inside of us that is bumping around in our brain and organs, causing problems. It helps immensely to let it out.
honestly it’d probably be better for everyone involved if literally nobody ever spoke to me again
bipolar is truly the everything illness. right now i just have symptoms. idk of what specifically this time but they’re definitely happening
having that silly little thought that everyone is tired of me cause no one's texted me like all day
"I know someone else with this disorder and they're nothing like you!!!"
Maybe that's because we're entirely separate fucking people who have lead different lives, are at different points in our life, and literally have different brains, not because I don't actually have the disorder.
having bipolar and being told you have it for the rest of your life with no cure feels so unreal to me.

I recently got noise cancelling headphones because I have a lot of sensory issues and misophonia. I have been hesitant to use them because I don't want them to be a crutch but that's stupid. If you need to wear headphones to do the dishes because the sound of silverware clanking together makes you feel like dying then do it. If you need that aid then use it.
Sometimes I feel less like a person and more like a sentient amalgamation of symptoms
