The highs eh, I don't think mine are that bad. Sure, sometimes I get some strange thinking and don't sleep, say and do stupid things but they're alright. Enjoyable for the most part. I think I just get hypo manic anyway except the bizarre thinking might make me fully manic. I've never been hospitalize or close to it for mania though.

My moods last weeks or even months never only a few hours and even unmedicated I can go months maybe even a year without symptoms. Sure, some years I've had it bad where I've been up and down and in these mixed phases too but, generally it isn't so bad.

Intro psychology text books easily describe my bipolar. Isn't that stupid?
I wouldnt call that stupid at all! Its a good thing that you can understand what you are struggling with. Trust me, I'd do anything to know what I'm dealing with right now and how to fix it. I feel like the only person in the world with mood swings that are pretty much hours long. Its out of control and getting me into a lot of trouble.
