I know it’s pop culture and not related to the stuff generally on here, and I’m not Kanye fan, but seeing how West has been acting recently really makes me feel empathy for the dude, because though he hasn’t said it this all smacks of the man being off his meds and having a baaaaad manic episode. I also can’t help but just have this moment of “oh thank fuck I’m on MY meds” at the same time. It must suck so bad for him to constantly be struggling with the aftermath of his episodes while being essentially constantly documented. That type of paranoia inducing attention would totally turn a manic episode into a grippy sock episode if it was me. I guess I just wonder what anyone else with bipolar thinks about this? I can discuss it with friends if I wanted but I think there’s an inherent lack of empathy/insight that would come from hearing what people who haven’t struggled with bipolar think.
