So are you delusional when you’re manic?
sometimes and sometimes I just have a ■■■■ load of energy
How long does it usually last for you?
if i’m not on my meds can be days or else a few hours but lately I’ve been pretty good
Glad to hear that.
you worried your going to have manic episodes?
No I don’t really experience them. I have a long time ago but I was just curious as to what it feels like because I’ve heard people say they wish they were manic all the time. I’m actually pretty stable thanks to the right meds.

when the depression kicks in I kida do wish i’m manic instead
Yeah they thought I was bipolar a good 4 or 5 years ago but my moods are stable now. Can’t remember what it felt like. Grandiose delusions I have experience with though. Not anymore but in the recent past. The feelings that come along with that are great until you get back on meds and all the ■■■■ you did to screw up your life because you thought you were so special disappear and you’re left with a mess to clean up.
Exactly some I was able to laugh about but most I was embarrassed and pissed about
I think the longer you go without delusions the more you learn to accept them and not feel guilty or embarrassed. People have done worse things that weren’t even diagnosed with an illness.
yeah your right cant disagree with that
Being manic is nice at first. You clean your house, write 50 different lists, have great plans to change your life for the better, soooo much motivation.
For me it was like what I imagine cocaine is like. I was really speedy. Talked fast as hell and jumped from subject to subject. After a while I couldn’t keep track of all my thoughts.
I had no appetite. I engaged in dangerous activities. I was impulsive. I didn’t sleep for three days once. Like I said, first day is fun.
Second day is worse. You get paranoid. Strange delusions start filling your head. Sometimes I felt like I had some kind of super powers and I was immortal.
Day three I was full blown psychotic. Seeing ■■■■, hearing ■■■■, violent as hell, trying to kill myself.
But that’s what happens when you don’t sleep for three days.
The only things I miss about my manic episodes are being able to clean my entire house spotless and going on walks when I couldn’t sleep. In the summertime I would walk until the sun rose , listening to music and stealing flowers from gardens to press. It was oddly peaceful.

Wish I were manic all the time. I get alot of energy and everything feels great. But people around me seems bothered by it. Guess that’s why my former boss made me go to the psychiatrist.
