Get help, take a break!

Your problems are perfectly natural for us with a psychotic disorder. Anxiety, depression, all that. Anxiety disorders/problems are manifold, so much so as to almost define university. Many students and pretty much all PhD students get a (mild/severe) depression at least for months.

I was mixed/manic/mixed/manic for years at university. I only wish I had the insight you have now: I didn't believe for a minute that I could be helped or sometimes/often that I needed help. Wrote papers detailing very much precisely how God actually governs our emotions and how language is an imperfect but very useful expression of that (I am a linguist).

My particular weakness is that I still believe to have a pretty good grasp on how He does it, but that's just me, not BP (I am SZA/BP). I try to fight it with science, where any theory goes (much less supported by research than mine; status is pretty much everything: I might talk/write the part, somewhat/sometimes look the part, but I have none).

But if I can do it, you can certainly do it too. I am a real basket case. You have insight and enough courage to at least value the opinion of a therapist at the right time.

Get help! As much as it takes.

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.
