I am afraid I am starting to get manic here over the past couple of days my speech was slurred some and talking excessively hadn’t gotten to the point of excessively spending yet don’t want to go there but have noticed a change in my mood being elevated. Here we go again I say haven’t been this way in sometime and when I am Manic usually, I am excessively talking and spending all my Funds when I get really Manic, I do. My Dad is Manic too right now he is in his mid to late 70s and wasn’t diagnosed with Bipolar until now recently well a few years ago he was diagnosed as Bipolar. Which I find odd and Interesting too usually with Bipolar you’re diagnosed in teens or early adulthood like with me I noticed a change when I was 19 years of age but didn’t go on meds till mid 20s.Dont know why I didn’t. I hope we both being Manic at the same time doesn’t drive my mom up the wall. She doesn’t deal with change very well, but shell have too until we get settled back down and more stable. I don’t text much when I am manic my dad does a lot when he is manic everyone acts differently, I guess. I also think my dad may have adhd as well he has a hard time keeping his attention span at times especially when he is manic, he doesn’t listen well he is going a mile a minute with his brain I understand this completely mine does the same thing having multiple ideas or thoughts in my head at the same time or multitasking I do that a lot even when I am not manic.
You and your dad both slipping into mania at the same time is probably a coincidence.
Or, one could argue that mania has an element of contagion. I don’t believe so though.
Maybe you could hand over your credit cards to someone you trust, just in case a spending urge hits unexpectedly?
I have in the past handed over my Debit card but right now I am not buying anything except I bought an Android Phone charger for my phone only because my other charger is starting to be spilt and show the wire it was rather cheap btw other than that havent been spending or buying anything that’s unnecessary
I can really tell you are on the manic side right now @psychward101 lol.
It is kinda contagious @Andrey. To another bipolar or sza person.
still manic trying to take a break from this site haven’t been on here in a while last time I was here someone was rude to me about not punctuating my sentences, I am like whatever don’t like how I post don’t read keep scrolling but didn’t say it, but I thought it. Guess some people just like to complain but anyhow I’m over it it’s all good.
