Today, I finally realized that my bipolar depression gets worse in hot weather. I live in Hawaii. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste

Smile like you mean it
Today, I was feeling sad and depressed at work, when a customer said, “Smile. It’s nice and sunny outside.” Sunny weather makes me depressed. FML

Having a great time!
Today, I have severe sun poisoning, a migraine, have been getting dehydrated no matter how much water I drink, and am on my period with horrible cramps. Yay summer! FML

Alexa, play "Heat Wave" by Martha and the Vandellas
Today, I checked my local weather forecast. The highs are supposed to be 85-94°F (29-35°C) for 9 of the next 10 days. It's been 95-102°F (35-39°C) for the past week. I have no air conditioning. I'm so tired of this heat! Fuck climate change! FML

Armchair psychiatrist
Today, I was informed that I am, in fact, faking my depression. Why? Because I shower daily. FML
Wait, I'm not happy
A brief ray of sunshine
Today, I had an extremely great day, to the point that I actually forgot for a moment that I suffer from depression. When I remembered, I became inexplicably sad, as usual. FML
The song is "Wave of Mutilation" by Pixies. Love the song, hate myself.
Cease to resist, giving my goodbye
Today, it was my last vacation day in Hawaii. It was lovely, I was happy. Then I heard a certain song about suicide at the airport, which triggered a severe depressive episode. Then the airline misplaced the bag with my pills. Now I'm struggling with suicidal thoughts while trying not to break down and cry in public. FML

Today, I was so lonely and bored, I thought about making the most of our current heatwave by giving myself heatstroke, just so I could talk to a doctor. FML
Need To Bathe In Deodorant
Egham, United Kingdom
Today, it's so insanely hot that no matter how often I shower or use deodorant the smell of my armpits makes me feel physically sick. FML

Don't follow by example
Today, I found out the psychiatrist who treats me for bipolar disorder died. He committed suicide. FML

Today, my doctor put me on a new medication that came with the warning to stay out of the sun. I live in the desert and my country is having the highest temperatures recorded ever in human history. Guess I should stock up on white, long sleeve shirts. FML.

Move to Alaska. Or better, move to Yukon or northern Alberta and get cold weather and free healthcare.

Ugh my seasonal depression was greatly affected by winter, and I lived in New York for 27 years. My husband and I moved to California almost 5 years ago and although I still get seasonal depression, it’s not nearly as severe. I see a move in your future!

Move to Antarctica. There's no hot weather and real estate is a lot cheaper than Hawaii's.
