National Bipolar Awareness day - March 30th.
I remember the first time I had a auditory hallucination (that I was aware of) was when I was, like, 15~ years old and I was sitting in my bed reading fanfiction. It was 7 at night when I heard the sound of these musical instruments being knocked together at a steady beat:
I started to look around really, really confused because like where the fuck is this sound even coming from? It sounded like it was being played right near me. So I was looking around until I found the source of the wooden knocking, which was from my stomach. Once I found the source the rhythmic knocking slowly faded until it was silent. Before this incident I had several visual hallucinations of spiders and bugs that weren't there but I attributed that to being tired (after a Google search of 'tired hallucinations') so when faced with this very loud new hallucination at 7PM when I was feeling awake, I told myself "oh. I must be tired." And went to sleep.
Moral of the story is that your brain will downplay the signs of serious mental disorders if you aren't educated in what they are. I think everyone should learn the signs of what mental illnesses look like just so they can help themselves or others. I went undiagnosed for seven years and my father went undiagnosed for nearly 50. The signs were there and obvious to both us and outsiders, but due to a lack of information that could have been cleared up by a simple search of 'bipolar symptoms' 'what are delusions' 'what kinds of hallucinations are there' these symptoms were overlooked.
Serious mental illnesses like bipolar/schizophrenia aren't as uncommon as you think. Here are some popular actors/celebrities who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder (ones that are open about it):
I don't want to post a ton of links here so you can Google "celebrity name bipolar disorder" if you'd like to. Historically influential people with a suspected bipolar disorder diagnosis are Virginia Woolf, Vincent Van Gogh, and Edgar Allen Poe.
With national bipolar awareness day coming up (March 30th which is also Van Gogh's birthday) I wanted to post something for it.
So please learn the signs of mental illness for your sake and others. Bipolar disorder is as common as autism. They are both 1 in 100. Schizophrenia is 1 in 300. Ocd is also 1 in 100. Here are some helpful articles about the signs of these illnesses:
Bipolar
Schizophrenia
Ocd
Schizoaffective
Your mentally ill siblings aren't scary boogyman, they are mothers, teachers, artists, lovers, poet's, garbage men, deli workers, etc. They are people.
I remember when my father was diagnosed after me, he told me: "All my life people would ask me, 'what the fuck is wrong with you?' and I would always say, 'I don't know'."
You could be the reason why someone gets help.
No one in my fathers or my life knew what bipolar disorder looked like, so we suffered with it for years unknowingly.
I remember when I was learning the signs when I was suspecting my diagnosis, I had learned the signs for schizophrenia as well (since psychosis is a shared symptom between the two illnesses) and when I saw the symptoms of schizophrenia I remembered my old highschool friend who I thought was weird because he talked about how he could get called into the matrix and would go still for long periods of time when he was "transferring" from this world to the matrix world. Now I see that as possible signs of delusions and catatonia. That weird and off putting kid in school could be suffering unknowingly. Your strange uncle who accuses people of stealing his shoes could be suffering. YOU could be suffering and asking yourself why you're so weird/don't fit in/can't keep up.
So please for national disability month and bipolar awareness day learn some of the symptoms for serious disorders because you or a loved one could be suffering from it without knowing. Thank you.

Clone MarcNath AU
This is an AU of Miraculous Ladybug where Nathaniel is the clone of Vincent Van Gogh, and Marc is the clone of Edgar Allan Poe.
The Sinister Board of Shadowy Figures decided to focus on making only one clone for the next generation, making another of Van Gogh. They sent him to France with Aya and Eli, his caretakers. He decided that he didn’t want to be called Vincent, and changed his name to Nathaniel.
Of course, they made sure he wasn't alone, and sent his boyfriend a clone of Edgar Allan Poe who changed his name to Marc. Their job would be to observe the future Miraculous Team, but the boys decided "screw that" and just lived out their days as high school students.
They write and draw angsty stuff and live their likes all cynical and stuff like some cool emos. Marc Allen Poe likes to leave haunting messages in peoples lockers for the hell of it just to see how they’ll react, and Nath Van Gogh has trouble hearing due to missing a left ear.
You can find them brooding around the school, or making out as gothic music plays from their phones.
Nathaniel was born without a left ear, and hides this fact by covering it with his hair.
Marc can recite the entire Edgar Allen Poe part of ERB's rap battle on command.
Marc: Once upon a midnight dreary, as I spit this weak and weary, I will choke this joker with a trochee till his cheeks are teary! (Nathaniel swoons)
Marc calls Nathaniel his Starry Iris, and Nathaniel calls Marc his Blood Raven. Juleka and Ivan are their besties.
Marc: I love you, my dark Raven.
Nathaniel: What?! Marc: I said I love you!
Nathaniel: Thanks! I am using a new shampoo!
Marc: Oh, for the love of- *Turns Nath’s head around* I love you!
Nathaniel: You don’t have to shout. But I love you, too.
And there you have it! Me and Artzy came up with the info, and thank you so much to them for doing so. As always, make sure to reblog, reply, post and ask for more thoughts on the content. @artzychic27 @msweebyness
