I was so engaged and frowny listening to the health stuff, the pain, and the bipolar disorder reveal that hearing the words "today's sponsor" took me out 😂😂😂
You’re made of iron. Or rather wood. You grow tall and strong around obstacles, you make meaning and empower yourself through understanding. It’s so satisfying seeing you grow.
clicked on this video as soon as i saw it bc i live w/ BD1. being diagnosed w/ bipolar can be so destabilizing ... like it has literally taken me nearly 4 years to get to a point where i trust that there is a version of me that feels safe in my mind and body despite having been in a euthymic state for around 2 years. i've always admired not just your art, but also your words in articulating your experiences. thank u for sharing your story online in this way -- i wish i had the courage to do the same. also so very proud of u for starting your med journey! i swear once you find the right cocktail of meds for ur mind and body, u will be like "shit, is this how neurotypical people feel on the daily?" anyway, from one BD girlie to another, i'm sending u sm love and support
I personally like salon style! It looks like how when you go to someone's home and see photos of their family and friends hanging on the wall. It's not overwhelming to me, but rather feels natural and "home-y", which kind of fits your theme of joy and memory and relationships. The pieces would "bloom out" together of the wall, like how joy is not just the individual memories, but collectively shaped by all your memories at once (something similar to whole is greater than the sum of its parts). The linear-style is valid too, but I also feel that it's very structured and doesn't underscore the connections between paintings. Anyways, this is just my babbling opinion, and I don't know anything about art haha. Whatever you go with, I will enjoy what you have made nevertheless and will continue to support ur videos!!
Bruh, as soon as you said lamotrigine, I said to myself “i had nightmares and sweating and anxiety while on that one,” and then you proceeded to talk about your nightmares! No thanks. Im on abilify and so far, its been ok.
I wrote a memoir when I was 23. At first it was bc people said it was the golden age so I wanted to document my adventures. It ended up being the worst year of my life, I had never felt so depressed, so I was writing to cope. Then I finished it, formatted it and stuff, I was very serious about publishing it. Now I read it and it's just teenage angst😂😂😂 It is called "2023: an unofficial manifesto of young adulthood misery"😂😂
Your description of ADHD reminds me a lot of what I'd complain about when I was younger. Turns out, it wasn't adhd, it was depression and anxiety. I couldn't focus on anything for long because every second I felt like I had a target on my back and someone was out to get me. Every little noise, simulation and thought pierced into my focus and I couldn't hold it together. I also couldn't read or watch movies but entirely. I just couldn't sit still and let myself get immersed for a whole hour or two because I was scared I'd be attacked. I also grew up in an unstable household and been through emotional and physical abuse. You sound a lot like younger me. I hope the medication helps and good for you to get the help you need.
I am also trying to understand if what I have is adhd (or possibly autism) or just social anxiety. I grew up in an unstable and emotionally and physically abusive household as well. how did you know it was depression and anxiety instead for you?
ok i have now finished the video and holy shit i did not expect to relate so hard to all your mental health stuff o_0 getting a diagnosis definitely helped me verbalize a lot of things too... sincerely hoping things go better for you!!

It's cute how you're always smiling when you talk lol I always thought looking at your first voiced over videos that you could really tell.
