The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Homes are being constructed near mine. Constant noise. I work in a noisy environment. My folks were in town last week, and we had house guests this weekend. I was unable to recharge.
I had a melt down yesterday, and understood why I felt what I felt but couldn’t get out of a mental loop. I was short with a housemate (but slept it off). She knows I’m third generation bipolar.
I didn’t say anything I regret, but she was trying to be helpful and my attitude was out of order. I apologized to her today. She said she didn’t take offense but was worried about me. It’s a relief to know I live with people that are willing to take this (unmedicated) journey with me.
It is a relief to have someone in your life who can understand and empathize. I, too, have made many apologies after being short or angry. Not everyone gets it and is willing to give chance after chance.
I'm sorry to hear about the noise, that sounds hellish. Hopefully you are able to recharge more this weekend!
Thank you <3
