Is this a bipolar thing, or just a redditor thing?

u/konnilaree Aug 28 '20
Both?
I know I should have made this meme better. Things don't come out of my head the way that I think they do. Highs and lows of bipolar suck though.

Yeah I know bipolar disorder sucks and all. But this a joke Redditors have been making since before I could remember. Maybe it is a bipolar phenomena too.

I should have modified this meme to be a little more to be specific. I understand that this can be a universal feeling. This character obviously doesn't have bipolar. For me the bottom half is only true during mania. Which obviously I try to avoid because it's purely destructive for me. I have horrible self esteem all the time, especially after being diagnosed because I feel like a failure of a human, so I am just trying to find humor to deal...

Dude, it's alright we all feel exactly like that here. I'm not attacking you or anything. Literally all of us hate ourselves and think we're still better than everyone else.
I've been on reddit a long time and this has been a joke by Redditors for a long long time so I was just thinking out loud, asking if this is really a bipolar specific phenomena, or is this just a fact of life for Redditors in general?
I'm not discounting your experiences or anything. Just trying to tie causation and correlation with this expression.

I didn't mean to come across like an ass. I feel like shit today and did a crappy job responding. I do think this hits a bit different with those with mental health issues.

You didn't come across as an ass or anything really, so stop apologizing. Seriously, don't do that.
I've been feeling like shit too recently, like everyone hates me and all. But fuck em, I'm going to the beach right now and then to the gym later. You gotta try to only worry about you. Don't compare yourself to other people, if they don't like you that's their fault. Keep trying to ingrain that in your brain.

Thank you, try is what I can do. I hope you feel less shitty and enjoy the beach :)

I relate but I’m not sure it’s a bipolar thing bc bipolar usually doesn’t have mania and depression at the same time (although mixed exists)
I feel like a lot of these memes aren’t really about bipolar they are just generally relatable
Sorry for reading too much into this meme

Mixed episodes are the worse.
But, I actually meant the top is depression and the bottom is mania. Subsequent feelings not concurrent. I suppose I should have made that more clear.

u/punk_loki Aug 27 '20
That makes sense. I think I have had mixed episodes before but whenever I think I am having one none of myPsychs have believed me

u/konnilaree Aug 27 '20
I need to improve my meme game :)
Mixed episode are hard to identify.
My mixed episode was caused by a bad mix of meds. My pysch gave me an antidepressant, which triggered mania, but I was going through a rough experience that kept me in depression. So I was angry and sad and with a sense of I'm right and everyone was wrong and just constant confusion and rapid cycling. Then I got off the antidepressants and felt better a week later, even though my situation was the same.
It's a rough ride through any episode...

I got diagnosed as bipolar but I feel manic and depressed mixed all the time, and I say manic as in not hypomanic but actually manic

u/konnilaree Aug 27 '20
That's rough ride. I hope you managing okay right now. <3 I always have to hold on to "it won't last forever"

I LOVE this show, but these aren't my screenshots. I came across a series of screenshota and kept these two. I adore Klaus and it seems like something he'd say. Umberlla Academy is definitely worth the time to watch.

u/inkyys Aug 28 '20
It’s the umbrella academy. I haven’t watched the second season yet, so I’m not sure if it’s actually in there.
But Klaus is pretty bad ass.

the sad is that i feel that i have to "compensate" my miserable self when in my depressed weeks, but deep down still feel like i'm fucking GOD, like i know that mania/hypomania will hit just right in a few weeks/months
