My space, here on Bluesky, is my mental health (MH) journal, I have issues and I'm constantly in motion learning to deal with them. I've come a long way, and I use this journal to work things out

I'm not here to be fixed, I'm not broken. I need to write, think, interact, understand, and move on
I want to be tired. We're gonna see...in a bit...

I've never been able to summarize what I am. But I am what I do, so that makes it messier to figure out

[Backspace] is working brilliantly'ish and is necessary. Not mania, but hypomania

Roomie has spent most waking moments working and doing daily living stuff in his van with an eye for live-a-bility. Gave him a lighting primer, talked about USB lights and 12-volt lights...and superbrightleds.com

I got every kind of advice from people on how to manage the pain of knuckle tattoos. The guy who did my crow tat told 4 of them to look at my head tat and then STFU. I laughed, and I'm grateful

There are creams, there is ice, there are so many choices

I choose to enjoy my pain, thamkewes

The tattoo artist asked me what I wanted and I spelled out the mechanics. And he asked me again what I wanted and I said (what I have said 5-times now)...

I want you to be an artist and be happy with your work. I'm gonna flash that tat everywhere...but I believe in letting artists be artistic

Part of me wants me to shut up, the other part of me...

I'm 61-years old and ultradian bipolar with brain damage(s), and I am *never* stable. But I am the poster child for self-managed...and that's always one breath away from mayhem

In the moment I love mayhem

Braim is managing, using my tools

It seems certain that it's going to rain

I'm not the get-a-tattoo-on-a-bipolar-upswing guy; I'm ultradian bipolar and don't have that much skin

My tats have to have significance to my life, i consider them for years

Stay the course; hold fast; don't react, respond. It's also an alert to others that I'm working on it
November 13, 2025 at 8:04 PM
Yeah, I'm ok

No matter which way this goes, I'm ok

Hypomanic at the top of that scale (Mach 5). Been using mental gooning to dickstract myself (thank you tinies and giants)

I reviewed and I've been building on these symptoms for at least a weak

Mental gooning is short-term-only. I have to decouple that reality from my own at some point

Things that [Backspace] means

The ability to reflect and self-edit, especially considering outcomes and consequences

For me, this is the divide between hypomania and mania; reflection and caring about the consequences. As my mania increases my concern for the consequences wanes sharply

Listening to Korn and Disturbed and Primus and Oingo Boingo

Looking at my symptoms, monitoring for mania. It's unclear where i am right now, but i see a tell or two
November 13, 2025 at 5:07 PM
3hrs of sleep. Sorta mostly

I'm gonna get knuckle tattoos today (been thinking it over for over a year)

HOLD FAST

Bought some towing mirrors

Bought an oven rack for my RV oven

Bought a 5gal water bottle hand pump

Need tire chains for the truck

Need tire chains for the trailer

Mebbe I'll look at sparkly lights...

He has a proper mechanic's tool box, computer, place to sleep safely, reliable phone, transportation. We were talking last weekend and he told me it is time for him to move on

I hope i haven't set him up to fail harder...though, i understand that's all on him. I worry

I need my space

Out loud
November 13, 2025 at 3:25 AM
I can make a small shelf above my laser printer in the trailer and then i will have a place for my manic-purchased photo printer that i love
November 13, 2025 at 3:11 AM
I've decided that I need to take a couple days off from working on the trailer. I'll do little things, get my clothes and tools in order, take some trash to the transfer station

I swear that my monsters care deeply about protecting me, that's their job. Granted, they are monsters and have monster reactions. I have tea with them, we talk, i keep them close

Those surveyors stepped right out into traffic without a flagger or a safety supervisor

I had to slam on my brakes

Two people behind me reacted by attempting to squirt around me which directly put the surveyors in harm's way

I not only reported it, i dialed 911
November 12, 2025 at 9:30 PM
There are a number of folks who are very, very upset by me blocking them. They say i blocked for no reason

Basically, if the bad things in your daily experience spectrums (like the weather) are "bipolar" but none of the good things are "bipolar" then a person is slinging stigma and i block them
