I think i had a manic 4 hours yesterday!

from about 11am to 3pm. i had all this energy and everything was funny to me. i drove to town to get another pack of cigarettes, i smoked 2 packs yesterday and chain smoked them. on the drive i had this weird smile on my face and was all jittery even though i didn’t drink coffee.

anyways i also had some voices return, and recognized i may be getting a rare manic streak. so i turned off all my devices, stopped smoking, and layed on my couch until my heart rate slow downed, and my racing thoughts went away.

feeling much more like myselff today.

Interesting that you recognized what was happening and took effective measures to stop it.

I could never do that. I never recognize when I’m manic. Depressed or suicidal yeah. Paranoid, delusional or psychotic yeah. But manic? Never.

i didn’t recognize it when i was unmedicated. but it’s a lot different feeling from my normal day to day now that im on meds. usually the meds keep me mellow, not a lot of ups with so much energy anymore. it wouldn’t have been anything to me just 5 years ago.
