While I do have raging Bipolar I, thankfully I'm a VERY GOOD worker. So I legit tell my bosses my annual mental collapse schedule, and we just work around it ๐Ÿ˜‚ (End of July or early August, around New Years, and a mild one in April)

Like I've been working with the same ppl for years so this one, when it started, my one boss was like 'I'm guessing I should cover your shifts for the rest of the week?' I was like 'NO. Not necessary!' Then like one day later after being sent home for the second time I was like 'Actually yeah' They now know my brain schedule better than I do ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I don't schedule it, I started trying to track my 'cycles' and for the past several years, I always have big episodes around the same time! If you start tracking, you'll be able to divinate It's like the menstrual cycle istg ๐Ÿ˜‚ sometimes it throws curve balls, but it's usually kinda consistent Ofc there's countless mental breakdowns in between, but I've nailed down the biggest most life-hindering stretches ๐Ÿ˜ค
