Struggling a lot with compulsions the last few days, and already fucked up a while back. Really weird how this seems to happen with hypomanic (rather than depressive) episodes, but I guess it fits. It's like this constantly building chatter that I can't quite make out that soon gets to intolerable levels, and when I act on it, everything goes blissfully quiet for a while. During depressive episodes, everything's dead silent and horrible :P Still, glad I'm out of the recent one.

@makyo I... really feel this. Not sure which compulsions you're referring to, but self-harm for me has always come from a too-loud place. I think I may have funneled it into exercise in recent years. o__o

@Entropy_in_Drag Yeah, SI, but also compulsive checking. Trying to direct it into something more productive like that.

@makyo Solidarity fistbump, and may you accomplish what you want. <3
