This poem unearths the raw, terrifying beauty of being a shell filled with suffering-where death whispers but never claims, and silence screams louder than words ever could.

Understanding Mental Illness: 03

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder, previously known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out daily tasks. These mood episodes can range from manic or hypomanic episodes to depressive episodes.

Types of Bipolar Disorder:

Bipolar I Disorder: Characterized by manic episodes that last at least seven days, or manic symptoms that are so severe that immediate hospital care is needed. Depressive episodes also occur and typically last at least two weeks.

Bipolar II Disorder: A pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes, but not the full-blown manic episodes typical of Bipolar I Disorder.

Cyclothymic Disorder (Cyclothymia): Periods of hypomanic symptoms as well as periods of depressive symptoms lasting for at least two years (one year in children and adolescents), but the symptoms do not meet the diagnostic requirements for a hypomanic or depressive episode.

Symptoms:

Manic/Hypomanic Episodes:

Abnormally upbeat, jumpy, or wired behavior

Increased activity, energy, or agitation

Exaggerated sense of well-being and self-confidence (euphoria)

Decreased need for sleep

Unusual talkativeness

Racing thoughts

Distractibility

Poor decision-making, such as going on buying sprees, taking sexual risks, or making foolish investments

Depressive Episodes:

Depressed mood (feeling sad, empty, hopeless)

Loss of interest or feeling no pleasure in all or most activities

Significant weight loss or gain, or decrease or increase in appetite

Insomnia or sleeping too much

Restlessness or slowed behavior

Fatigue or loss of energy

Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt

Decreased ability to think or concentrate, or indecisiveness

Thoughts of death or suicide

Connecting with Someone with Bipolar Disorder:

Be a Stable Support System: Offer consistent support, especially during mood swings.

Educate Yourself: Learn about the disorder to better understand their experiences and how you can help.

Encourage Treatment Adherence: Support their treatment plan, including medications and therapy sessions.

Be Patient: Mood swings can be unpredictable, so patience is key.

Avoid Triggering Conversations: Be mindful of their mood and avoid topics that may exacerbate their condition.

BSD Men headcanons

WARNINGS!!!; DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT! Cannibalism, pyromaniac, w33d addiction, stalking, addiction, sensitive topics, mental illness, anorexia, obsessive etc.

Description; uncanon but reasonable headcanons w BSD chracters

A/N; Just a quick drabble. This is NOT. me making fun/joking about mental illnesses/addictions this is me putting uncanon headcanons on BSD chracters, if you're disturbed by this, block me or scroll!

Pyromaniac!Chuuya Nakahara - Chuuya isn't the one to let most of the intrusive thoughts of setting things on fire but sometimes they get the better of him but it doesn't cause mass destruction. (The habbit is worse during corruption and the habbit most likely started from said corruption.)

W33dAddiction!Edgar Allan Poe - He smokes constantly while writing his mystery novels. It started the time when Ranpo escaped the book he was working on for years straight, the smokes to relieve and built up stress.

Stalker!Akutugawa Ryūnosuke - he isn't one of those creepy stalkers that breaks into your house just to steal clothing or taking things you threw away, he's more tame. Taking secret photos of you when he sees you etc. (Specifically taking them with piliroid cameras)

Cannibal!Nikolai Gogol - He definitely eats human remains in front of you but he never dares to cross your boundaries of what you're not comfortable. He sometimes asks what would happen if he tried to eat you but it was always just for laughs. The only thing that would come close to "eating" would be the soft bites and nibbles he'd put on your body.

Priest!Fyodor Dostoevsky - Priest never go against their Gods words even if it was desire. No matter how many times you would confess your undeniable love for him and all the sick twisted fantasies you had of him in the confession booth, he couldn't recuperate the feelings since he was the priest of the church but he knew he couldn't deny any feeling he did have for you.

Obsessive!Dazai Osamu - Hes WAY manipulative when it comes to things like you venting your feelings. If you were ever upset with someone he'd manipulate you into thinking you only ever needed him and nobody else that was how his charm worked. Hold you close and never let go, cherishing you every second of the day to make you only want him.

ManicDepression!Sigma - He could be stressed out and yelling to a soft and cuddly guy but it depends on how severe things get. Things get hectic in the sky casino, Sigma's drastic mood swings not helping as he can go to yelling at someone before apologizing for his actions on how he will never do it again.

Psychopathic!Jono Saigiku - Jono isn't one of those violent or aggressive pshycopaths but he can tend to be very manipulative. When it comes to being empathetic, he doesn't understand too much about one's feelings but he is good at brushing them off even if said person is begging for help(advice/support).

Schizophrenic!Ace - He's quite literally delusional (going back to the scene were fyodor manipulated him into offing himself) His thoughts can get jumbled and disorganized when most likely proved wrong. His mental state would most likely deteriorating and breaking into fragments (a sense of mental fragmentation)

Anorexia nervosa/ED!Lovecraft - I'm not saying out of all EDS he had anorexia but it's possible. He's more self-conscious of the way his body looks and he probably just sleeps to much and forgets to eat.

Insomniac!Katai - He definitely stays up all night snuggled in that comforter of his constantly browsing the internet. But not only just staying up, he definitely has multiple sleep paralysis demons that haunt him when he tries sleeping.

Narcissistic!Ivan - He absolutely NEEDS. to be seen and admired (specifically from fyodor) He's self-centered and obsessed over self-importance. He doesn't seem to care for anyone but himself (and fyodor cause that's canon.)

OCD!Kunikida - He's absolutely obsessed with his ideals and being organized. If something in his schedule goes a miss or someone cancels on him he has to fix EVERYTHING. In his head he has to have the perfect schedule or the entire day will be fucking over and he wont know what to do in the next following hours.

I missed #transdayofvisibility last month. I was so tired and drained I ended up napping through it. Gotta like living with #mentalillness and #manicdepression. #fantasyroleplay with the girlfriend and taking care of my #dogson #hislordship Chowder. Next, you got my lovely #stubdragons and #crestedgeckos Mango Salsa and Dijion. I'll admit that I'm a #helicopterparent #lizardkeeper and I'm worried a bit about them. #crestedgeckos are #gonnagecko. I put their food out and they'll eat when they do. On a different tack it's been over 3 years since I've started my #transition began #thetimesareachange. . All of this #covid-19 stress is getting to me over time. #beingessential means I am putting myself and my family up for possible infection. I need th cash though so when people touch their faces or get to close I can only be reminded that customers see me as #anobject and not a person. But #girlslikeus are gonna shine, #transisbeautiful and even o this shitty pandemic messes with my life it will not #conquerme! I've been openly distancing myself from people and informing them to maintain social distancing. Even they don't like it they can #suckitupbuttercup! My health is not on the line just so someone can get lazy and not respect #healthguidelines. #bosswitch #withcesrule #gaywitches #lesbianwitches #witch #witches #lgbt #translesbian #transbian (at Mount Vernon, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_MbmxjJ12Q/?igshid=o3o4ai2ofrp1

GOT A QUESTION ABOUT BIPOLAR DISORDER?

I noticed that the asks I’ve been receiving lately are about what’s [hypo]mania/what it feels like to be [hypo]manic or related to my treatment/what it’s like to take medication. I started to think about it and I remembered about Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison.

Dr. Kay Redfiel Jamison is a psychologist who is specialized in bipolar disorder and - wait for it - SHE IS BIPOLAR HERSELF. I think those two things combine really well because she spent years studying the disorder and many more years actually living the disorder.

I researched for interviews and lectures that would be nice and informative to bring into a post and I found this one interview that is divided in short videos, I’m gonna post all of them pointing out the topics that were covered in each one of them - if you want to watch the whole interview I’ll be posting that too.   

1. Descent into Madness: the moment when she realized she had bipolar disorder; Mania vs. Depression [what’s each one like];

2. Medicating Mania: when she started her meds; the fear of losing her career because of bipolar disorder; how to identify manic depression.

3. Madness as Muse: the relationship between mental illness and creativity - it doesn’t have to be a choice.

4. Life after diagnosis: [not really about her diagnosis] about her husband’s cancer diagnosis and how she coped with it; the difference between grief and depression.

FULL INTERVIEW HERE:

Psa: I’m not doing this bc I dont want to receive questions anymore. My ask is always open! I just thought it would be nice to bring Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison’s story here because it helped me a lot when I got diagnosed and started reasearching about bipolar.

I hope you find the answers you are looking for.

From my bipolar nightmare to yours, xx.

Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder or manic depression is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression)    

When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (yes, they are two different things. I will explain later!) you may feel euphoric, active, full of energy or irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, judgment, and ability to think clearly. Episodes may occur rarely or multiple times a year. Some people may experience some emotional symptoms between episodes, some may not experience any.  

Bipolar is a lifelong condition and there is no cure yet. You can manage mood swings and other symptoms with a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar is treated with medications and psychological counseling. There is hope. It can be managed.
