3. Overwhelmed and Empty: How Hypomania Made Me Think I Could Do It All
Episode 3
Monday, 10 November, 2025
In this episode, I open up about a month that completely drained me; a time when I tried to do everything and ended up feeling overwhelmed, empty, and burnt out. Looking back, I realized I was in a hypomanic phase of my bipolar II disorder; full of energy, ideas, and unrealistic goals that eventually crashed down on me. I'm getting real about what hypomania can look like behind the scenes: the productivity highs, the sleepless nights, the emotional crash, and the toll it takes on mental health. If you've ever felt like you were running on fumes, chasing every goal at once, or struggling to find balance while living with bipolar disorder, this episode is for you. We'll talk about learning to recognize hypomanic patterns, setting boundaries even when you feel unstoppable, and giving yourself grace when things fall apart.
