The whole thing was just a disaster for everyone involved. I got really depressed. I started going to therapy, psychiatry, and just doing whatever I could. And so it's just been a continuing road from there.

Well, when I was 18, it was a major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety and a few other anxiety disorders. Um, this last year though, about a year and a half ago, they diagnosed me with bipolar type two.

Yeah. So I was on a medication, Klonopin, um, which is obviously, as you know, a suppressant, a depressant, um, And I came off of it just to see, like, you know, I think my anxiety will be okay, which it was. But then I started to see an increase in episodes of just feeling really, really good. Um, Like so good to the point where I was like, man, I feel like I'm almost on cocaine or something.

Like I feel so good. And this happened on a repeated basis about once a month. And I ended up finding a pattern and presented it to my doctors. And they said, wow, there really is a huge pattern here. It happens on the regular once a month, just like expected. So they kind of diagnosed me with it.

Yeah, because I was making mistakes and I was not catching myself and just overall being a bit destructive in my life. I also spend a lot of money when I'm kind of in that high space. So what do you like? One time I spent $500.

Struggling to sleep. I don't have psychotic features officially. I've never really dealt with those. We usually use the psychotics mostly for me when it hits. So is it as needed? Yeah, kind of. I take it daily, but it really could be as needed.
