I use to always be on my feet and never sit down and it was a constant thing for me to be doing something.... now a days I am sooooo lazy and bored all the time and have no energy bah!!! want the good feelings back regarding energy levels.
Hey Kathleen Slattery,
I think I am ok, I don't really want to hurt myself.... my head is just playing games. I have always had the wearing down CD's and DVD's down/out it's a standard occurence in my house. Singing In The Rain is my fave DVD that is now non-exsistence lol. Think my obsessions are the thing that is getting a bit high I guess.
I am really obsessed by this bloody Actress.... There is a medical prog here in the UK called Casualty and on the progamme there is a Doctor who has just been diagnosied with BP. She was sectioned and it shows you how she feels etc.... they have had her in depressed mode and mania mode. I am now obsessed with her. Argh!!! It's annoying me as I want to talk to her and have been pretending she is with me and we are talking together. Insanity is kicking in I think!!

Laura, I could see myself doing the exact same thing as you are doing with that documentary, as I would find the topic fascinating myself. But being that as it may - in that we are both bipolar - do you not think that a lot of "normal" people do the same things, like become obsessed with a particular show?
I was nearly going to break the TV on my daughter a few weeks ago, as she insisted on watching this "fat" reality show at the same time every day, the premise being following dramatically obese people losing and battling to overcome weight. My daughter at that time was dieting herself, and trying to lose a lot of weight, so I guess the show related to her. And she could watch the exact same episodes of it over and over! As for me and the music on my ipod; I'll play the same songs which I like over, and over, and over; without EVER getting sick of them.
But I do wonder if these things are behaviors which people with no issues do also, and may not be indicative of being manic or anything like that. And the question is, if you like something (such as a show, song or DVD) are you going to STOP doing all that, just because you have a suspicion that it's abnormal? Just for me the answer is probably no.
