I’m kind of a prepper myself. When I get hypomanic i get extremely focused on it. I start reading doomsday apocalypse type fiction which only makes it worse. The next time I get on an end of the world kick I’m going to focus on finding all this stuff I bought and getting it organized instead of spending an arm and a leg on new stuff.

Truth be told if there was actually an apocalypse I prefer to be at ground zero. I wouldn’t want to survive it. However I have lived in parts of the world where natural disasters happened on a regular basis. Earthquakes, typhoons, etc. I lived through 6 weeks of no electricity or running water And it was a nightmare. I had to drive down to the beach everyday with buckets so I had seawater to flush the toilet. I got real friendly with anyone who had a swimming pool. I learned how to eat spam without barfing it up for the protein. With the stuff I have stashed away now I could easily get through 6 weeks now without having to scramble for food or water.
