I get hypomanic episodes as part of my schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type) and as a result I also get depressive episodes too. So today, I want to talk about what caused my recent episode (specifically the hypomanic part and how it was more intense than usual), from my very self aware viewpoint. I am actively in depression during this video, but sometimes I explain things better when I’m depressed. Depression always does make me rethink my life a lot, and I’m a little more contemplative and less anxious, so maybe that’s why.

Anyways, this was all a monkey’s fault, and once you see this video, you too might think f u Dexter, f u.

Ah science, what a weird field to work in, and weird places too.

Finally, my meds work, my treatments work. I had a rather severe case of schizoaffective disorder before got treatment for it. So this is my normal and it's okay. These things happen and they're manageable. I wouldn't be able to film it otherwise. And yes I smile I yes I laugh but I've been depressed on and off since I was 14. I have ways to cope, and smiling helps. Even if it's forced, it helps. At the end of the day, I live a wonderful life, even with these little mini episodes :)
