Well...mania? I've been both manic and hypo. Hypo's great. Life's great, I'm great. Boundless energy. I can't tell you how many times I've re-arranged my closets. I find it hard to sleep and eat and I can get confused and paranoid and I can become extremely irritable, spend money I don't have, and mild hypersexual, racing thoughts and wild ideas.

I've had one episode of full blown mania and it wasn't pleasant, well after I came down anyway. During the episode I don't sleep or eat or take my meds. I drink, smoke lots of weed (party girl) engage in very risky behavior, I also avoid anyone who will try and talk me down. I don't want it to end. Once I spent $75000.00 of my retirement money. I get very grandiose as well and I have tons of energy. My thoughts race and I get these great ideas.

It seems that the only difference between the two for me is my spending and extreme hypersexuality.

Hope that helps
