What dark heart said ^^. I also get this tremendous surge of energy that I have to work out physically or else I start throwing things and punching refrigerators (only did that once actually, and damn near broke every bone in my hand). I have been known to pressure-wash the porch for FOUR HOURS. Additionally, I get this agitation which makes me unable to find a good place to put myself....can't stop fidgeting, can't concentrate and get pissed off.

At the same time, I'm having frequent crying jags, snapping at any or no provocation, driving like a maniac and generally scaring the hell out of anyone unfortunate enough to be around me. I never quite fly off the handle all the way, but with this recent one I came perilously close to it, and it may have progressed to that point if I hadn't called my pdoc and gotten on a higher dose of AP. I just felt like the layers of my sanity were being peeled away revealing the madness at my core, and I was terrified of being drawn into it.
