I’ve had quite a few of you reach out to me after my post yesterday, and I do want to say thank you. I know it came from a place of care 💜
I also want to gently clarify something.
What you saw is not a manic episode. If you know anything about Bipolar 1, or know me and have seen mania, this is not it.
This is what a trauma response looks like, in the context of choosing to leave a long term relationship, losing my home base, relocating, and navigating a high level of sustained stress and change over a short period of time.
I’ve recently undergone a full psychological assessment with a neuropsychologist, including the ITQ, PCL-5 and PID-5, and I’ve been diagnosed with Complex PTSD (CPTSD), currently presenting in the severe range, around the 95th percentile.
To put that into something more relatable, imagine the feeling of a panic attack, but stretched out into a constant underlying state while you’re still trying to function.
Even within that, I am fully present and actively managing a significant amount of logistical and legal responsibility in real time.
What you saw was me coping inside that, not losing control. It’s no wonder I haven’t cracked into full blown psychosis, but here I am.
There’s a big difference between mania and a trauma response, even if from the outside both can look intense af.
I’m still here. I’m still making executive function decisions, still moving forward, still showing up, even when it’s hard.
And while this moment was vulnerable, it’s also real. And that’s all I’ve ever tried to be. Through my art, my lyrics and how I present as a human.
I’ll share more as I continue to process and understand all of this, as it’s new to me.
For now, I just wanted to offer some clarity, because without context it’s easy to misunderstand what someone is carrying.
Thank you for seeing me. Hearing me. So much gratitude.
If this resonates with you in any way, drop a 💜
Happy Easter 🙏🏼

BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS
I'M TOO TIRED TO MAKE AMENDS
I GIVE INTO MY VICES, THE STORY THAT NEVER ENDS
BUT I'M TRYING TO BE GENTLE
GO EASY ON MYSELF
I WONT NEGLECT THE PART OF ME THAT’S CALLING OUT FOR HELP
I SWEAR I WON'T BE GUARDED, I JUST WANT TO PROTECT
THE WORLD I BUILT AROUND ME
AND THE HEART INSIDE MY CHEST
MAKE AMENDS
IM LEARNING TO FORGIVE
LEAVE WHAT NO LONGER SERVES
WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE
CONNECTION IS THE CURE
I’M LEARNING TO FORGIVE
LEAVE WHAT NO LONGER SERVES
I'M GIVING BACK TO ME
THE LOVE THAT I DESERVE
MAKE AMENDS 💜

Cannot believe I’m fitting into my daughter’s dress! I’ve struggled with my weight/body for as long as I can remember. After having my kids at 19/20 it’s been an uphill battle. After being diagnosed with bipolar 1 and taking lithium/epilim etc it was and has been even harder. I’ve tried every diet/ exercise regime - nada.
Till Jan this year I decided I wanted to be comfortable in my own skin and not loathe what I saw in the mirror. So I started IF 16:8 hours and Keto (mostly) also daily 3.5k walks with Marceline. This just works for me, it’s not a sacrifice, I love food and I eat exactly what I want without being hangry.
I can’t believe how this has had such an incredible effect on my health, mind, body and overall energy and without the anguish that usually comes with a healthy diet or fitness regime.
75kgs - 61kgs and 4 sizes down since Jan.
I’m so proud of myself. I feel lighter literally and figuratively. Cheering you on if you’re on the same journey! Let me know if you are, it’s wild how well this works.

I've been on Spotify since it's arrival in South Africa in 2018.
Although I have incredibly mixed feelings about the platform, it's pretty much where ALL of my music lives and where I release frequently.
I often see people saying "new music when" or we miss your music" and so I thought I'd mention and ASK YOU TO FOLLOW ME THERE so you get notified of my new releases and can continue supporting my sonic journey
❄️ Come with me? Au5
