Robin, your up and down cycles remind me of my own life at times. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 25 years ago and although the medicine has genuinely helped, more recent work with psychedelics and IFS therapy have made it seem to me that my energy swings are more a natural reaction to life situations than any sort of disorder.

Good on you for finding ways to leverage energy boosts and to make them happen more regularly… and for writing about it!
