I experienced mania (May -July 2012) I over shopped, created a different name, I created social media profiles (FB, twitter, Instagram and email) under my newly created name. I had a HUGE ego and it reflected in my new name. I met someone on twitter and went to a house party, almost got raped. I damn near went clubbing every weekend. I
deal w/ the hyper sexual activity but luckily for me I only craved one person.
And I put in work on him.
I also dressed more sexy and put thought into my outfits. I only wanted to wear "head turning" outfits. I wore lots of make up, high heels, bracelets and necklets. I paid $200 to get my hair close to Beyonce'. I worked out like it was going out of style. I hit the gym 3-4 days per week and stayed 3 hrs each time. I barely slept probably 4-5 hrs each night. I got behind in opening my mail and paying bills. I dodged calls from family. I lost my job due to being manic (mean manic). The only plus during this episode is I never did drugs or got drunk. I'm not a drinker, I would limit myself to one drink. Thanks to medication and Gods grace I have not had another manic episode.

During my hypo, I still over shopped on stupid crap. I spent $150 on cleaning supples. I would stay up til 3 or 4 am (on Twitter) go to bed them get back up
at 10am. I didn't really eat, just snacked.

Depression started this past winter and still dealing w/ it sad, cry (for any reason) and don't wanted to be ard anyone. I stopped using social media and my alter ego email. I stopped wanting to shower, cooking and cleaning often. I also stopped going to the gym.
