Mania for me is like drinking jet fuel. I can get months of work done in just a few nights. I was manic one time in college and finished an entire college course in two weeks, exam and everything. My mania makes brings out the worst in my borderline personality disorder. I guess you could say I am the kind of person that would jump off a boat to snorkel in shark infested waters or pickup my shotgun and go to the swamp and hunt for a 15 foot alligator by myself and bring home three of them without a single scratch on me.

Depression for me is horrible. It feels like someone sucks my life force out. I usually stay hypo manic most of the time and most people do not see my depression. When they do they can tell easily. My eyes lose their bright blue luster, my hellos and good mornings turn into grunts, and I walk about 1 mph everywhere. Talking to me while I am depressed is useless, since 99% of the time I have this look on my face that says I don't give a ****.
