The first meltdown caused me to impulsively exacerbate my condition, as I mentioned. At first it was an acorn per foot feeling in addition to burning arches, and now it's shaky gait, healvy calves, sometimes behind-knee pain, and random flares on any part of my soles.

I genuinely feel like we crossed an invisible line in social media at some point- a line that triggered a total stoppage of critical thinking among most folks. It feels like the second a new social media app appears people just impulsively add it to their phone.

This week I co-authored a 45 page forensic accounting report, did fieldwork, practised nature connectedness, wrote the methodological framework for my thesis... And I only had one manic episode where I impulsively gambled by buying Miffy Halloween themed blind boxes until I had them all.

Never got Mom to the dentist early enough for anaesthetic.
Burnt out tons of pots because she forgot she was boiling water.
Never noticed a kettle whistling.
Acted impulsively.
Was "lah-di-dah" about money.
Extremely sensitive to perceived slights.
Drove impatiently.
