• Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity
(no because I really am that good)
• Decreased need for sleep (e.g., feels rested after only 3 hours of sleep)
(only sleep 3 ot 4 hours most nights all the time)
• More talkative than usual or pressure to keep talking
(yes but only because what I have to say is so important)
• Flight of ideas or subjective experience that thoughts are racing
(not often but like an indy car when it comes)
• distractibility (i.e., attention too easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant external stimuli)
(God yes)
• Increase in goal-directed activity (either socially, at work or school, or sexually) or psychomotor agitation
( called a bulldog as can not let a goal go once engaged)
• Excessive involvement in pleasurable activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (e.g., engaging in unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments)
(never been an issue.. unless a workaholic qualifies)
