Just someone with experience trying to help.

Today on the podcast I talk about manic productivity. It's the state of being one with bipolar disorder or cyclothymia gets into as mania starts to seep in. I talk a little about what I do to track my moods, what hypomania is and where I'm at in my cyclothymic cycle. I am not a mental health professional, so please see a therapist or your general practitioner on medical advice pertaining to mental health.
