Bipolar disorder is fucking horrible it’s not just “oh I’m happy one minute I’m angry the next!” it’s literally hell let me tell you some shit:
Bipolar is getting excited and going on manic shopping sprees only to then regret everything you’ve purchased, and now you’ve lost interest in everything you’ve bought
Bipolar is suddenly crying for no reason, and when people ask you what’s wrong, your lack of understanding only makes things worse
Bipolar is suddenly becoming very passionate about a project, idea, or even person and then spending a long period of time obsessing over it only to suddenly lose interest
Bipolar is a messy bedroom cluttered unfinished projects and guilt
Bipolar is accidentally becoming too emotional around friends or loved ones and scaring them, pushing them away when all you wanted was to bring them closer
Bipolar is not having any set group of close friends, due to the paranoia of them talking behind your back about your episodes
Bipolar is lying on the cold bathroom floor in a friend’s house or unfamiliar place trying to calm down because you’re too afraid to have an episode in front of other people
Bipolar is being afraid to show your emotions because you know if you open up to someone, you might start crying or panicking
Bipolar is making too many promises during your manic states that can’t be delivered when you’re down and depressed, leaving many to think you’re “flaky”
Bipolar is not knowing if you’re reacting appropriately or overreacting to a situation because you’ve never had a “normal” emotional scale
Bipolar is having no one taking your disorder seriously, including your parents, who may or may not still think you’re just experiencing mood swings
Me, hypomanic af: Wow! I feel great! My meds must really be working! I’m gonna do so many great things with my life! I’m gonna get like 5 PhDs and become a great artist! I’m gonna do all those things in a very short amount of time because I’m super great at everything! I’m gonna read 50000000 Wikipedia articles and watch disturbing documentaries all day and all night for the next month! Knowledge motherfucker! Why am I shaking??? Who cares! My meds have cured me! I’m going to feel like this forever!
Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs.
So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying.
So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!
The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
