i miss the optimism i had while manic last year (July-mid Dec 2010).

I thought, "man my next semester will be amazing! he will want to date me, so and so will take me out, i'll do this, i'll do that" blah.blah.blah

flash-forward now: i'm normal and worried and anxious about going back to school. what if i make no new friends? i had to take a serious break from life at the end of last year bc of my mania and the friends who have left around, i just don't know if they will want to still see me next semester...

was anyone else extremely optimistic and felt like nothing could ruin them during their mania?
