When I'm getting manic: I get pressured speech and I find it hard to maintain one subject while speaking. I start planning different ways to take over the world(new business schemes, recording a new album, social engineering). Also, I get hypersexual and random cravings for drugs I've never tried.

When I'm getting depressed: I write lots of music, do pastel drawings, and write poetry. When I start getting suicidal I notice I find my way to bipolar or mental health documentaries. That lets me know I should tell someone something is up.
