I feel off and I am trying to figure out if I need to contact the team to get a mood stabaliser added.

OCD does. I think mania might too. When I was manic, I was obsessed with songwriting and composition for the whole eight years I was manic. Or, more accurately, hypomanic (I was never hospitalized or nonfunctional).

I’m not only obsessed about making things craft things but I’m obsessed about selling these things and usually I take it all down because I’m fed up nothing sold within a day.

My last mania, I have to say, was awesome. I started writing and drawing this comic book – an art I’ve never before done – and people who’ve seen it love it! They want more. The problem is, I’m no longer in a headspace to write it. Stupid depression.
So, yes – the focus was on one thing.

To be honest, it’s almost impossible to sell female oriented craft items. Very very few people make any money selling those kind of craft items.
Now, if you were to start making hand engraved, leather belts with cowboy themed, metal belt buckles, or were to start customizing guitars, I’d see more hope for you.

Fair enough thanks for the advise … i know what you mean about it being impossible but I never gave it more than a day and took all the listings down that I paid for. My hobbies are getting expensive.

I think many can get you fixated on one idea. Like “I’m gonna be a famous singer” and that idea just becomes obsessive till the mania wears off or whatever
My last mania I was going to start a cartoon production company. Then I was gonna pitch it to a TV show company.
Then I was going to be a trap music artist.
That went on for around 2 months.
I don’t even know how to draw or sing lol.

When I became manic (psychotic) 6 years ago I was obsessed with the topic of Narcissism.
It went overboard.

And why aren’t you on a mood stabilizer already?

I was placed on a higher dose of abilify in hospital than before I thought that this also acts as a stabaliser. But I feel I need something more.

Yeah your probably going to need a mood stabilizer as well.
I thought the same thing about APs but then I was becoming unstable without a mood stabilizer.

One way to solve the obsessive activities that come with mania is to try to only do things that cost virtually no money.
Then it atleast will prevent you from blowing all your money.
Took me a long time to learn that
Like if you want to do crafts maybe learn digital art and sell it on fiverr.
But don’t buy digital art tools. Look up “open source” art tools. Those ones are free to use

When I was hypomanic I couldn’t focus, I was distracted and all over the place
I also needed a mood stabilizer as antipsychotic wasn’t enough. Then an antidepressant had to be added too.

When I was manic I could obsessively focus only on one person, a love delusion so to speak. And also on my feeling of grandiose. Everything disappeared when put on antypsychotica
