    don’t get why some people have a problem with that.

    I have bipolar disorder. I see doctors for this. Saturday October 25th I took a shower and I went to work. Next day I went to work too. That night I drove 2 hours to prepare for an athletic event on Monday morning. I did the athletic event which took all day and then I went to bed. I was in bed from Tuesday to Friday. Friday morning I finally took a shower again.

    That snapshot of my life from Tuesday to Friday is my dark side of bipolar disorder. Lay in bed. Can’t move. Stare at phone. Lemmy, YouTube, eat, sleep, pee, poop, repeat for 4 days until something makes me snap out of it which today was the obnoxious infuriating sound of a leafblower outside my bedroom window. And just like that I got out of bed & took a shower. It was quite a relief to finally be able to move after feeling trapped in bed for 4 days.
