Awe! My mom used to be like that too! That's where I got, "So, it isn't normal for people to have mood swings like this?" It took me a long time to notice that other people don't get mania. My husband has it too and I honestly didn't think twice about him not sleeping and going on these manic driven missions! I thought that was just how people live! It is different now, ever since the day I was non-stop talking for hours and hours, maybe days even and he said told me that I needed help.

My mom is super high functioning but, I'm certain she has undiagnosed (or at least untreated) bipolar. But at least it being bipolar meant one minute lasted several weeks or longer!
