I closed the last of these notes without knowing how this one would read. Now I do, so I am sitting down to write it.
The new relaunch date is 25 July 2026.
I am declaring it the same way I declared 15 June – explicitly, publicly, and meant. Not as a quiet revision tucked into a footnote, but as its own note in this record, because that is what these notes are for: the moments significant enough to change the course of the journey.
The five weeks between now and 25 July exist for one reason. The community fundraising campaign needed more time than I gave it the first time, and rather than repeat that mistake, I am giving it the time it actually needs. The goal has not changed – £1,800, the amount required to relaunch this project properly rather than provisionally.
What has changed is something less visible than a date on a calendar. I set out, three years ago, to run this project entirely on my own conviction and my own resources. I believed that was the right way to prove the concept before asking anyone else to invest in it.
I still believe that was the right instinct for those first three years. But I know now that conviction alone cannot carry a project indefinitely — not when the person carrying it is living with the very condition the project exists to address.
So this note is also, more than the others, a direct ask. If BipolarPowered has meant something to you across however much of this record you have read — the thrill of the launch, the honesty of the setback, or simply the fact that someone is choosing to write these notes truthfully rather than disappear when things go wrong — the next five weeks are where that meaning can become something concrete.
I don’t know yet what the next entry in this record will say. I hope it says 25 July happened, and that this project did what it was always built to do. If it says something else, I will write that down too, exactly as honestly as I have written everything before it.
The conviction has not moved. Only the date has — and this time, only forward.
