This keeps happening and it is infuriating. It’s also scary for people with SMI/SEMI (severe and enduring mental illnesses) such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as if the fear of the illness itself wasn’t enough.

I’d try to be understanding with the parents, but I admit family waiting too long is a problem. I remember watching this video and getting frustrated at every missed opportunity…

My memory has gotten worse and worse. I think it’s a matter of age, neurological damage/cognitive decline due to bipolar disorder and other stressful events, and worsened memory that was never great because of ADHD. I need to write everything down nowadays. Other than that, no; I think the rest of the symptoms have been similar throughout my life.

Make playlists of songs within your vocal range and sing! It’s so much easier in the shower. You’ll flow.

Bipolar disorder is kind of severe by definition (mild cases are still impactful), but there’s a milder version called cyclothymia or cyclothymic disorder. Depending on the person, it can be managed without medication, and a common comorbidity is ADHD.

A recent paper reads:

Cyclothymia seems to be often associated with coexisting ADHD symptoms, although this comorbidity is understudied.

The paper is called “Clinical characterization of coexisting ADHD symptoms in a sample of adults with cyclothymia: A preliminary observational study”.

It says:

In our clinical sample, nearly half of cyclothymic adults present with ADHD symptoms.

That’s a lot. I hope more papers come out soon.
