Hey there,

I had a nice long email there and some how deleted it grrr!!!

Here it goes again

Hypomania;

Feel no need for sleep under 3 hours
Feeling more hyper
Stop medication
Stop talking to my support network
Pacing
Anxieties
Talk a bit faster than normal
Bounce from topic to topic
Concentration starts to go

Mania;

Feels like Tigger on speed
Pressurised speech
Texting/Posting becomes erratic
No need for sleep at all
Forget to eat/drink
1 day consists of 72 hours
Shopping spree's
Drinking loads of alcohool
Psychosis/Delusions
Stop medication
Agitation
Anxiety
Concentration goes completely
Hypersexual

As you can see more Manic symptoms..... I am sure there is more lol! I have been told I show classic BP symptoms. Also that its very obviously especially now when I am off my meds making me more than Hypo-Manic but under full blown Mania

Everyone is different when it comes to their symptoms though
