BEFORE HAVING A CHILD PLEASE CONSIDER: -your favorite animal -your favorite color -your favorite dinosaur -your favorite letter -your favorite number -your favorite character from the PBS hit show Daniel Tiger Your child WILL ask you and they WILL NOT take "I don't know" for an answer

A year or so ago the bipolar community here contributed to some infographics I put together. I just made some updates to the “Mania for Normies” handout; more feedback is always welcome, these are living docs! I’d love for folks to share it with anyone who could benefit 😃 🙌 thank you carry on
An infographic titled “Stages of Mania in Bipolar I–II” from “one impossible thing at a time” by Luke Steuber. It is divided into five sections, each describing a different stage of mania, accompanied by blue and yellow illustrations.

1. Euthymia (yellow background):
Quote: “Is this happiness? Is my bipolar cured?”

	•	Stable phase called “normal.”
	•	Responsible, focused, confident.
	•	Worries about depression, may delay tasks.
	•	Often diagnosed as cyclothymia.
Illustration: Person holding balanced scales.

2. Hypomania (blue background):
Quote: “Sorry to ghost you! I swear it won’t happen again!”

	•	Easier social interactions, active on social media.
	•	Starts projects like writing a business plan, overspending.
	•	Rapid profile picture changes.
	•	Thoughts speeding up.
	•	Considered the limit of Bipolar II.
Illustration: Person raising a hand with a light bulb above, standing in front of a crowd.

3. Mania (Manic Episode) (yellow background):
Quote: “I’m not manic, listen, I think we can sell this.”

	•	No need to eat, drink, or sleep.
	•	Starts many projects impulsively.
	•	Makes others uncomfortable.
	•	Experiences “time dilation.”
	•	Hypersexual, emotional, dehydrated.
Illustration: Crowned figure standing above a group of smaller figures.

4. Mania (Mixed Episode) (blue background):
Quote: “Maybe if I finish this one last thing I will matter.”

	•	Energetic yet deeply sad.
	•	Risk for substance abuse and self-harm.
	•	Associated with creativity.
	•	Quick but fixated thoughts.
Illustration: Person surrounded by icons of droplets, flames, and hearts, representing intense emotions.

5. Psychosis (Psychotic Episode) (yellow background):
Quote: “No time to discuss mania; bugs in the mattress.”

	•	Psychosis is a state, not a condition.
	•	More common in formal thought disorders.
	•	Most likely in Bipolar I mania.
	•	Important to have a plan; warn emergency services if necessary.
Illustration: Person with question marks over their head and bugs around them.

I'm inventing a new snack food called crunchy bread bites. It's just croutons packaged in a chip bag, so that it's socially acceptable for me to eat them all in one sitting

Besht teaches us that we should not lie when asked how we are, for we never know who we are talking to and whether they may be a prophet in disguise. If we hide our pain, we deprive small and big helpers from the knowledge they need to repair the world with us.

Sheol, one of the names of the underworld, comes from the same root (שאל) as sheilah, question. That is to say, what happens after you die is supposed to be a big question mark--we don't get to know.

I always thought that witch's teat myth was totally dumb until my daughter tried to nurse off of a mole on my stomach. Turns out old timey men aren't the only ones that think a mole could be a nipple.

I like that this website does a bad job of showing the original tweet that's being replied to so your timeline just fills up with weird little snippets like "oh great, let's make babies even bigger" or "what about dog owners who need to use the bus?"

did u know? Farts didn't exist in ancient times. The first ever fart was discovered in 17th century Italy by a physician named Flatulo Fartini, which is where we get the word, fart, today.
