But yes it is understandable that if you are depressed, it would be hard to think positive and be full of energy.
And then hypomanic could be the other way around, yes. The NY Times has an article about ideal entrepreneurs being "just manic enough." Which makes me jealous of anyone with a BP that is always just manic enough. The article unfortunately refers to the rest of us as "lunatics." Stigma is all over the place. But that article both de-stigmatizes and stigmatizes at least. |
I have seen many articles like that. But they only seem to take the manic persons work into account and try to make it sound like all is well. What about these peoples personal lives, what about their internal well being? Lots of people show up for work and are successful at work, but the rest of their life doesn't always reflect that same image.
The last thing I can think of PD is that you seem to place a very high importance on your work, which is fine. We can feel a lot of purpose from that. But maybe if it defines your self worth too much, or defines you too much you might be getting blindsided a bit.
I don't know if that is true for you at all. Just an idea. I really hope something changes for you.
