My taste in decor and fashion fluctuates with my mood, too. When i'm manic i am attracted to bold, edgy, flamboyant design. When i'm depressed i like subtle, minimalist design. I completely understand how you want your walls bare to help calm the chaos in your head. My walls are almost completely bare. I really like it.

I bought my glasses when i was manic and they are black, horn-rimmed platic with sparkles on the corners! I also have a red leather sofa i bought during mania. Oh well, it's fun. I get how you knocked your walls out -- was planning to do the same thing during my Spring mania but my depression kicked in.

I don't really have any words of wisdom on how to cope with it -- mostly because i feel okay now and find it amusing [at least in myself]. Just wanted you to know you are not alone!
