I had a coffee at 9pm tonight (its 10.20pm now) because I wanted to get some research done for a job interview I have on friday and I was really tired before! and can I concentrate on the research? no i can not!

Im way too excited for this interview now I cannot wait and I want to do it now!, my mood has not only shot up but shot up to the extreme - I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest with happiness and im just excited! So instead Ive got the computer out but my mind wants to do a million things at once on it and do fun things

A few days ago I started getting symptoms of both depersonalisation and derealisation, peripheral hallucinations and extreme paranoia... all over half a cup of coffee in the mornings and it would set me up for the full day having these horrible mixed mania symptoms... hmmm coffee is just not for me when Im like this! Funny thing is though when I am depressed coffee either doesnt touch me or it makes me even tireder! I dont know how to spell tired is that right? haha

Dont think the medication Im on is helping... back to the doctors tomorrow!

So in answer to your question I dont think stuff like this is a normal reaction to caffiene! I believe its certainly a more bipolar thing!
