I’ve been asked a few times if I was manic this week and I’m wondering just from everybody’s experience what do you do when your manic and does it always feel good me most times I feel godlike my thoughts face and I end up getting grandiose thoughts and even to the point of delusional but this week my thoughts have been negative racing my mom was scared of me and I know nobody here is a doctor but does that seem like a mixed episode to you my mom was scared before I even spoke

Hypomania generally feels good and getting grandiose ideas/delusions. Mixed episodes are terrible. And mania usually im also hallucinating and it can become mayhem

Yeah full mania for me can be hit or miss I could end up feeling like I’m godlike or become paranoid because everything is going wayyyy to fast and I was never fully told what mixed episodes are like for others I wonder what others feel when they get that way I’m wondering I feel like zero people understand

I think people wont understand if they havent experienced it. Its hard to translate. A psychologist or psychiatrist will know though.

I find the same with mania it’s in my case the most heavenly and euphoric feeling at times I think I was having a very mild mixed episode this week It was like I couldn’t shut up depressed and angry

Yeah it can be good until it goes really bad. I had some manias that was basically the equivelent of limitless energy coupled with psychotic rage and randomly changing identitys.
I was so high i couldnt really eat or sleep but then voices told me i could just live off coffee and their energy. Which after a few days thats pretty bad

Wdym by changing identities do you have DID I’m just wondering
Actually since ive been stable and now treating adhd part of my illness my pdoc said I need to learn how to function without relying on hypomania to get things done. Cuz id basically do tons of stuff when i was up and then id just sleep for 12+hrs a day when i was down.

Yeah when I’m completely off my medication I can’t eat or sleep it’s weird I love food and I love it more during hypomania but once I hit a certain point I don’t think anything else but my delusions and how I could “feel better” Even tho I doubt I could lol

I dont. But to keep it short when i was really manic i would randomly become jesus christ and my whole personality would change then id revert back whenever “jesus” decided to stop taking over my identity. He kept telling everyone that this body and mind was just a vessel to further things and people were ready for this to be possible.
It became a lot more complex than that but thats a short version

I love hypomania when it’s not mixed in with depression
I love mania in the beginning but then I can get so high that I become psychotic and paranoid.
I’ll become delusional with zero insight

I do have dissociative issues but i think the identity/personality change only ever happened during that one mania. I had delusions of someone else using my eyes or my arms and stuff though in other ones.

Yeah I get paranoid often
