🧡Hey friends; I’m going to residential treatment on Monday, March 20. It’s usually a month long stay. We get phones at nights and on the weekend but I intend to use mine sparingly. Much love to you all. See you on the other side of war. #bipolarclub 🧡🌈

I used to tell people that I love winter because the cold makes me feel alive. It recently occurred to me that what actually has been happening is the cold pulls me out of dissociation. A common grounding technique is to grab an ice pack. Fascinating.

Why is bipolar being used to describe weather annoying? It trivializes the illness. It’s flippant. It feels like “oh my god the weather is mentally ill, how obnoxious.” It’s a complaint. “Bipolar weather” isn’t something anyone enjoys. 1/
