I say “I didn’t sleep and I have soooo much energy”. She says “you know what that’s called?”

I hate the way people are so quick to point out mania. Especially since we are so unawares. It makes me feel like the average Joe or Jane in the street knows more about myself than I do. Or thinks they know more about myself than I do. It is just enraging.

In manic phase mood stablizer would help…!!!
What do u think…
I don’t think I’ve ever experienced full-blown mania, but I did once have an experience where I felt very high and had a lot of energy. It was far before I ever actually did drugs, so I know I wasn’t actually high.
I don’t even remember much of what happened, I just remember it was a great feeling. I only have schizophrenia though, not bipolar disorder, which is probably why I haven’t experienced mania.

My sister has bipolar disorder though, and she’s gone through mania before. She has periods of time where she gets extremely angry. She breaks things and screams during these times. She also has mania where she’s extremely happy and energetic too though.
Today I threw up my meds, and it’s day three without weed, along with this mania or whatever. I had serious road rage. It’s good no cop saw it I would’ve got pulled over and usually I’m a great driver.

Hopefully it will go away soon, especially if it is causing problems on the road.
I don’t drive. Not only does the idea of driving scare me, but sometimes I feel like I’m being followed even when it’s someone else driving me somewhere. If I was the one driving I’d probably take the wrong roads on purpose to make sure I wasn’t being followed, which would cause me to be late or lost.
Maybe you should get someone to drive for you until this mania passes to avoid getting a ticket? If that’s not possible, maybe you could ask your doctor for a mood stabilizer if you’re not already on one? I’ve heard those help.

In the winter this year I had a 3 week period where I was euphoric. Basically like being on mdma or something. Then the crash… 4 weeks down
I think I was manic too just before I got hospitalised last month, because I was wide awake dancing to music at 2am, although I didn’t notice any mania at the time. A few nights later in hospital I gradually got back to sleeping correct times after being given Valium. Nowadays I am back to normal.
Gotta check with my pdoc tomorrow if I’m not sza instead of sz
