Can you relate to my illustration?

I'm trying to illustrate that moment of mania/psychosis when you finally realize that you're in it, but the thoughts won't stop racing.

Things I did while manic and psychotic

  1. Got really into a niche branch of classical Greek philosophy, ordered 5 books about it (3 in a language I couldn't even read), and sent an email to one of the authors asking him if humankind could be evolving into bees.
  2. Met a Pakistani guy over Instagram and almost booked tickets to fly there and marry him. I thought we were destined to build the new Atlantis together.
  3. Was convinced that we were about to get into the next step of evolution (I called it multi-multi cellular evolution) and blasted my Instagram stories about it.
  4. Thought that I was the embodiment of all the people of the Bible who had names starting with M, most of all Mary Magdalene.
  5. Sent multiple letters to Pope Francis telling him that the end is nigh. Ironically, he died under a year later.

Anyway, the whole time I didn't think there was anything wrong with me, and now here we are, 2 years later still in the post manic depressive slump.
