I will usually tell people what I think my first hypomanic episode was. When I was in my mid teens when shutdown started. I somehow convinced myself I was going to be famous. I didn’t even have social media. I just thought I was the funniest, most talented person in the world and it freaked me the fuck out. I did not want people to know anything about me, I didn’t want them to invade my privacy to the point I had convinced myself that it was already happening

I couldn’t sleep for days and on the surface it just looked like severe anxiety, which I was already diagnosed with. But I couldn’t sleep not just bc of that, but bc I had too much energy. I did everyone’s laundry at 3am, I cleaned my parent’s kitchen, I was up till 6am doing that when my parents woke up. I don’t remember how long I was like that. But I remember I couldn’t stop crying during it, and after I was so miserable.
