Yes we all tend to do that, per BP-se, often, so the odds are you should take a break when in doubt.

University might seem like something you should be able to do just fine, compared to a job, but it is sometimes deceptively taxing. Remember, you very much use your brain, a thing that really needs some extra protection from overuse for us, again at times.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
