Abstract
The photographs presented are inspired by my experience: From June to December of 2023 I was in a manic episode that resulted in an ER visit. Many things were running through my mind while in this episode. I was feeling things more intensely then one should. It started out by me not taking my meds like I had done for the past five years. I thought I was better off without them and didn’t realize what was actually going on until I was diagnosed with Type 1 Bipolar disorder. After looking back, I know realize that many things have contributed to this episode. Whether it was things that happened last school year, this summer, or these past couple of months. I know now that in order to be the “normal” me I need to be medicated. The whole time during this episode I felt like my time was running out on this earth. These photographs are inspired by my experience.
