For myself, before having consistent days of elevation, there's a day here and there where I have a hyperfocused study where I say something like "I want to know how a tumor starts" and in the process I have to read about every single semi-related detail from cellular structure to genetics to cancer treatments and whatever else pops up. A lot of times I'll say "going to the library" but end up going practically to Canada, maybe stopping for an hour or t wo hike if I have sneakers or boots.

How would your life be different without bipolar disorder?
Oh! What an interesting question. I'd be working. I wouldn't be fat from psych meds. I would have probably finished college (maybe. Honestly, I hated school with a passion and really my anxiety disorder is what got in the way of me finishing, not bipolar. Well, and my asshole parents).

I don't think my life would really be much different, other than the weight and working thing. And having to be on meds and see a psychiatrist and therapist and deal with everything that comes with having a mental disorder.

Same question.
