Bluntly Bipolar

Worldly love consists of two things - chemical processes and choices. Most people make the choices that they make because of the chemical processes they are experiencing. In this episode, I talk about that through the lens of my autism and having bipolar disorder - a mental illness that can just produce all of those chemical processes out of thin air.

People with bipolar disorder may develop a fear of hesitation of allowing themselves to feel happy. For many of us, it can look too similar to the early stages of mania or hypomania. In this episode, I share with you how I tell the difference in my self-management.

There is one quality that everyone needs when they want to work on their mental health. It doesn't matter if it's bipolar disorder, depression, autism, or anything else, really. This one singular quality is the bedrock of recovery. What quality is that? (Patience. It's patience.)

The Cornell 7 and sexual assault of Jane Doe are currently in the news. In this episode, I use this situation to shine a lot on elements of toxic masculinity, rape culture, and intervention. The actions of those seven men and lack of action from the other 50 in the group chat is a fine example of why "not all men" is wrong.

As I was deeply unstable with my Type 2 Bipolar Disorder, deep in depression, I fell into a trap of incorrect perceptions which screwed up my interpretation of the world. I saw the awful in everything because that's what I most often looked for. It caused me to wonder is if my cynicism and eternal pessimism were real, or just laziness on my part.

The Lindsay Clancy case has created a lot of strong emotions, and rightly so, because three children were murdered. However, sometimes emotions are not signaling correct information to us. Not only that, but we may not necessarily understand what information we don't have. In this episode, I explore how this is an ideal scenario for practicing Stoic nonjudgment to improve your own peace of mind and mental well-being. I will caution you that I discuss self-harm and suicide regarding cutting in a more blunt way than I normally would. You may find it triggering if you struggle with self-harm.

There's a common fear in mental health communities that treatment will take away your spark. Yes, that can happen. However, what isn't talked about nearly as much are the ways in which treatment can benefit your art. In this episode, I discuss the benefits and affects treatment had on my writing.

As we approach this mid-term season, I would like to make a stark statement - vote, because it's a matter of life and death. The fact of the matter is that most money that goes into mental health care comes from the government and charity. I was one such recipient. I would likely be dead today without a block grant from the government that paid for my initial diagnosis and treatment. In this episode, I talk about this more in-depth, as well as exploring other reasons why we should vote, even if you think your vote doesn't matter.
