Things I have done while manic or mixed:
- randomly deserted my tour group in a strange Eurpean city when I was 14.
- had a threesome with strangers I met at a party, even though I was a virgin at the time (hadn't even kissed anyone!)
- met strangers off the internet for sex multiple times
- bought $1000 of cocaine, kept it in my room for a couple months, then got really paranoid and flushed it all down the toilet
- thought I was a genius and that everyone at work was jealous and plotting to get me fired because I was so smart
- sent random people really long emails describing in detail how intelligent I am
- failed a course because I thought I didn't need to study
- lost a job because I was afraid to leave the house (so I didn't show up to work). My boss got worried about me and contacted my school to see if I was still alive, because I refused to answer emails or phone calls for two months. (I had no contact with the outside world for this time).
- contacted the police because I was convinced that a boy in my class was going to bring a gun to school and shoot everyone.
- thought that everyone was looking at me and talking about me. couldn't stand people looking at me.
- thought people far away could hear what I was saying, so I was afraid to talk when I was outside.
- got obsessed with buying a house with my boyfriend (we had been dating for 8 months at the time). I actually convinced him to PUT AN OFFER ON A HOUSE. Thankfully, our offer was rejected!! Talk about a close call!
- got really into extreme couponing, collected thousands of coupons, PAID for coupons, DROVE 2 hours to get coupons from someone, and spent two days straight every week typing up ENTIRE FLYERS into spreadsheets!
- obsessively scanned entire books, page by page, into the computer.
I also have spent thousands of dollars on various 'obsessions' that I subsequently discarded:
- ~$1000 on yarn and knitting supplies in one summer
- hundreds of dollars on art markers
- $2000 on makeup and skin care within a month
- 7 e-readers within a couple weeks
- 13 sets of bedsheets within a couple months
- thousands on energy drinks and meal replacement shakes
- thousands on ikea furniture and home organization in a month
I'm sure there is more, but that's what I can remember right now.
