Bipolar Disorder

F31.1 Bipolar I Current Episode Manic

Peak Energy Edition.

Straight talk

Sleep is optional ideas are endless and your impulse control has left the chat. Everything feels urgent brilliant and slightly on fire. This one belongs to the side of you that can rearrange a whole apartment at 3 a.m. and still have opinions left over. The hat does not slow your thoughts down, but it does give them a stylish landing pad. It is an acknowledgement that your "too much" has always been more interesting than everyone else's "just enough."
