Atypical Bipolar
@atypicalbipolar.bsky.social
Bipolar 1 since 2018. Originally dx'ed with Depression in 2006. Alt.
I think I'm masking my depression symptoms really well even to myself judging by the mild scores on that mood assessment.
I was flat for so long on the lithium. Mood wise but I don't think affect wise. I feared the mania flares/hospitalizations so never questioned it until I started to taper. 🙃

I participate in DBSA Boston (depression bipolar support alliance) in person on Thursdays. the meeting is 7-9 but I've been leaving halfway through to get home to do PT before bed. We meet at the DMH building downtown Boston. (The ugliest building in the city, I think it's uglier than City Hall)

It's a tradition to take a photo of the construction at MGH every time I get my labs done. Shout out to the staff who put me in the secondary queue when I said I was on my lunch break. Way quicker. I wouldn't have been able to get my labs done otherwise.

If I'm documenting the pain in a log it's at least a 6 or higher. Because I push through the 4s. Usually doesn't last long enough to delay/derail plans at least.

Got to MGH at 8:20 for a 9am appointment. But I didn't want to go to the lab for blood work because then I'd stress about being late to the appointment. It's just an injection so I'll be in the office by 9:30.

In 2017 When I was at NWH the Patriots beat the Falcons. I started Partial a day late because of the parade. When the Red Sox won in 2018 I stayed up too late and went manic/psychotic again. Heading to work on Halloween during the victory parade was NOT fun. (That was the quickest break of all)

Even though I'm out as Bipolar, I set up this alt because my bluesky handle is my name + I really want to interact with BipolarSky more. For some reason I'm still uncomfortable being explicit with my main account. I've definitely gotten better as the years go by but it's more on meta and in person.

A little about me.
I had an alt on the bird site with the same handle.
I've been bipolar (identity first language) since Nov 2018 officially but my first episode of psychosis was Jan 2017.
I was taking steroids for a Crohn's flare when I stopped sleeping and went psychotic after 4 nights.
