A Red Panda described it amazingly well. I don't think I've ever seen anyone who's that close to me on symptoms, the only major exceptions being I don't drink and I do get full-blown manic at times. And I OD'd on Ativan about six weeks ago so I could just not feel for a few hours (it was more like 16, and my poor husband sat up all night and half the day to make sure I was breathing).
