Was anyone else called smart a lot by friends and family. People will always tell me how smart I am but I feel like it's just the hypomania they see. I'm sure I come off charismatic and "smart" for a little while, but give me a couple weeks and I'll show you some of the craziest stupid shit you've ever seen. Plus they mania will convince me I can do anything but when good ole reliable depression comes around, I'm not capable of anything. I'm now $10,000 in credit card debt and $5,000 in medical debt after this last episode. That shit ain't too smart. After being manic most of this year, I have a serious depressive episode right around the corner. My brain is shutting down again and I'm scared.
