Sorry to hear that.

Toxic mix of mad people. Endless phenomena, depths and associations.

Really, should be far more BP-friendly. Mania may make you feel everyone's mad, but in academia it happens to be true.

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.
