Head above water →. May 5, 2014 · 9:28 pm. A common symptom of both down swings and up swings for me, is anxiety. And with anxiety, come compulsions. Let me be clear, I don’t have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, nor am I ignorant enough to suggest I’m ‘a little bit OCD’. I’ve mentioned before, briefly. In order to talk about how this mood takes me, and the experience of being gripped by compulsions, I’m going to work through some key sections of that song. I go into a closed loop, no new experiences or se...

https://cyclothymiabites.wordpress.com/2014/06/28/cured
Selfies and vlogs →. June 28, 2014 · 8:03 pm. I regularly experience something I believe is common to all mental illness. When I’m stable for longer than a week or two, I become convinced I’m cured. Or, even more often, that there was nothing wrong to begin with. 8221; I strode away, my big sunglasses hiding the fact I immediately started tearing up. I collapsed in on myself. Everything came crashing down. I got home. Back to a shaking mess by the time I got in the door. Started descending into a...Becau...

On [non]therapeutic interventions and feelings of failure. Thinking about chronic mental ill health →. June 9, 2015 · 7:46 pm. I am obsessed with sleep. How much did I get last night? What’s my average this week? How many times did I wake up last night? What arrangement of pillows gives me the best sleep? Did I sleep too much? Do I have a real headache or have I slept too much/too little? I could go on and on. Spectrum] disorder. A few online sources suggest that lack of quality sleep can trigger a m...

You Wouldn’t Like Me When I’m Angry. April 10, 2015 · 8:33 pm. On [non]therapeutic interventions and feelings of failure. I’m having something of a tough time at the moment. I’m struggling with my work and as that is all I have in my life right now, that has an enormous knock on impact on my mood. At about 3am last night (insomnia ho! I was reflecting on my experience of CBT; why was it so useless to me? CBT Practioner: “So, what is difficult for you at the moment? Me: “I can’t sleep”. M: [after some hes...

Waking up on the wrong side of bed | Cyclothymia Bites
https://cyclothymiabites.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/waking-up-on-the-wrong-side-of-bed
Wearing my heart on my sleeve →. April 11, 2014 · 5:03 pm. Waking up on the wrong side of bed. One of the hardest things about having cyclothymia is waking up on the wrong side of bed. Sometimes I can feel a low coming, I get the sensation of sitting at the top of a rollercoaster looking down and feeling the brakes. How do you get through a day when you start it by feeling every muscle sink, every bit of energy drain out the bottom of your feet, and your brain slows to a wheezing crawl? Being able to put...

Waking up on the wrong side of bed. Mania Misunderstood →. April 21, 2014 · 4:59 pm. Wearing my heart on my sleeve. I spoke in therapy the other week about the frustration I feel at having to bare my soul every time I bare my arms, I’ve been continuing to think over those thoughts and feelings ever since. Horror I was talking about it? She confessed “yes, [other colleague] and I spoke about [your arms] earlier, do you still do it? I can have a great day, sunning myself on the beach or in the city, shoppi...
