It’s fascinating how sometimes we can start to piece things together about ourselves in unexpected ways. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on some of the moods I’ve experienced over the years, and I’m starting to wonder if I might be bipolar.
There have been times when I’ve felt like I was on top of the world—full of energy, creativity, and ideas just bursting to come out. I’d tackle projects head-on and feel invincible. But then, without much warning, I’d find myself in a deep valley, struggling to get out of bed, feeling heavy and lost. It’s like I’ve been on this wild rollercoaster ride, with highs that seem to reach the sky and lows that feel like they’re dragging me under.
I never really connected the dots until recently. I guess I always thought everyone experienced mood swings, but now I’m starting to wonder if my experiences are part of something more. It can be a bit unsettling, right? I mean, acknowledging that there might be a name for what I’m going through feels both liberating and scary at the same time.
I’ve been thinking about how important it is to reach out, whether it’s to friends, family, or a professional. There’s so much power in sharing our thoughts and getting different perspectives. It’s comforting to know that I’m not alone in this journey, even if it feels that way sometimes.
Have any of you had similar moments of self-discovery? It would be really interesting to hear how you navigated the feelings and thoughts that come up. Sharing can often lead to new insights, and I’m open to learning from your experiences. Let’s talk about it!
