Remember to breathe.

Relax your jaw.

I don't appreciate much about my depressive episodes.

They are horrid nightmares from a dark and evil place.

They sap me of my energy.
My joy.
My hope.

But I do appreciate how much it feeds my goth af vibes. 🤘🏻🕶️🥀

Olanzapine is a hell of a drug 😅

Though, it does seem to stabilize me pretty well.

On Thursday I was going through a severe mixed episode. I started the olanzapine again on Saturday and have been feeling much calmer.

Albeit much more groggy, too.

[Chandler Bullock⛓️ @_Shockaholic]

Had the worst mixed episode today. It lasted a few hours. I'm beat.

The effort it takes to essentially hold yourself down so you don't do anything stupid is beyond words.

Imagine having so much mental energy all you can do is scream inside until it breaks you apart physically.

Just because you are struggling doesn’t mean you are failing. Every great success needs some kind of struggle to get there.

The highs, lows, and mixed states can come and go. You are not at fault for irregular shifts in your mood. 💚

[INNER DEMONS @knowthydemons]

That our irritable moods are always triggered by something.

Although that can be the case, as with anyone, it's more common for me to be irritable and have no idea why.

Irritable is a state of being for me.

What do you think are the biggest misconceptions about bipolar disorder, and how can we work to dispel them?

Some demons you feed and they shut up.
some demons you feed and they get bigger.

What are your empowering horror films/moments?

[INNER DEMONS @knowthydemons]

For many, horror is a source of empowerment. What tales of terror empower you?
