Three ways into the archive, each one includes a different weather system.
Depression
The heavy days: the numbness, shame, slow time, and the work of staying alive.
Mania
The bright burn: the speed, certainty, risk, creativity, and the crash that follows.
In Between
The middle: the stability, medication, identity, and the strange grief of feeling “fine.”
