SO ANYWAY ONE TIME I HAD A STROKE
Jul. 14th, 2023 01:28 pmFun, huh? But let's start at the start. Last summer, I got whomped pretty hard with a tsunami of hypomania.
... Hang on, hypomania doesn't generally lead to strokes, right?
Yeah, uh, so ... that's the thing.
My hypomanic episodes are generally harmless, but my brain goes nuts, lighting up like a goddamn Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas house. I have ALL THE FEELINGS AT ONCE, and generally outsource those feelings to fiction--either my own or other people's. I wrote a good chunk of the OGYAFE* because, given the Fire Hose of Ideas I have during these events, I felt like I had SOLVED IT, and I probably watched the entirety of Stranger Things around four times. Also had friends over to watch the Lord of the Rings movies, because those movies definitely have some FEELINGS in 'em.
HOWEVER.
( Did ... did my head just explode? )
