So it’s 2am here. Haven’t slept yet. Thoughts racing like crazy. Currently just experiencing euphoria but I know it’s going to turn into anger eventually. It’s the weekend so I can’t call the clinic. I’m not in crisis, however. Everyone’s sleeping and I’m trying to contain myself.
Is it bad that I kind of like the euphoria associated with mania?
The experience of mania can be better than any drug. There is something about the flood of euphoria that makes you want it to never end. And it’s all natural. The bad thing is it often turns to irritability. That’s been the case for me. It’s good that you’re not in crisis mode at this point. If things take a turn for the worse, though, definitely contact your pdoc as soon as possible. Maybe a med adjustment is in order. Hang in there, man. You’re not alone.
