Summary
A person with CFS posted in June 2022 that a bipolar mania episode was badly incompatible with their CFS, leaving them wanting to do many things their body could not manage. Without a psychiatrist, they took an antipsychotic to get things back in check, but it gave them akathisia, making it hard to sit still.
