3. Overwhelmed and Empty: How Hypomania Made Me Think I Could Do It All – Distressed to Joyful; Bailey's Way

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.   SHOW NOTES: https://whatisheybailsdoing.com/overwhelmed-and-empty-how-hypomania-made-me-think-i-could-do-it-all-s6-episode-3-show-notes/    WEBSITE: https://whatisheybailsdoing.com/    SHOP: https://baileyswaydesigns.etsy.com    FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/distressedtojoyful.baileysway/    INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/distressedtojoyful_baileysway/  YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisheybailsdoing

Meet your Host: Bailey Reber

At the age of 16, Bailey was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. For years, she struggled with not only managing her mental illness, but also with accepting it while the outside world around her did not. She started her podcast in order to help encourage others to seek any professional help they may need, especially in times of darkness. She hopes that being vulnerable on hard topics via her podcast will be a “beacon of light” for listeners who are currently struggling with similar situations. Additionally, she hopes to bring about new perspectives to those not directly affected by mental illness in order to help them understand the world with a kinder heart.
