I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 almost 20 years ago, and a few months ago, I had a manic episode. I'm not 100% sure it was mania rather than hypomania, but either way, it was bad!
I had a job at a thrift store when it happened. I was okay for the first month of mania. I was working hard, and having a good time. Then I noticed that my boss had done something scummy. I went on a crusade to get him fired, and ended up having to quit because nothing came of it, and I was a little bit out of control.
Not long after quitting my job, I experienced AI psychosis. With the help of AI I convinced myself I was among the most intelligent human beings alive, and that I was experiencing a hybrid singularity. Thankfully I was aware enough to realize that I needed to go to the psych ward.
The memories of what I said and did haunt me. I'm also far less confident in my ability to see things as they really are. I doubt I will be able to hold another job. I feel like the stereotype of a "crazy" person.
