For a Bipolar person, why does depression set in after periods of stress?

I (30M BP1) know people who thrive off cortisol and stress. They literally need pressure in their life to get things done. But whenever I go through a few stressful weeks at work or home, a deep depression follows.

Having given up drugs, alcohol and smoking I am now very aware of my body's limits. I fear that I may need to find less intense/more mundane work (I work as a project manager). My mind and body are not up to it anymore.

Did anyone else find this to be the case?

Hi everyone 30M agnositic here. I was raised in a deeply Catholic small town in 90s Ireland. The local priest loved harping on about how "the meek shall inheret the Earth" and how the weak are actually the strongest.

I work as a project manager and the amount of narcissistic sociopaths I have met in management is staggering. A huge number of the people in positions of power are total undesirables. They are the loudest and most offensive people in the room. They leave a gruesome impression and play with people like pawns on a chess board.

I am not even all that high up, but a pattern is emerging. Definitely am wary to climb higher as a result.

The priest lied to me, who would have thought it?!

Absolutely buzzing for this game. What do we think the implications of moving from primarily bolt action/semi autos to full on assault rifles be? I feel this will be a much faster paced game compared to OG HLL. Firefights could end as soon as they begin with the amount of lead flying. Anyone who was on the Beta, how did you find this?
