TimTheEnchanter's question - I don't have positive spiritual experiences when I'm (hypo)manic. I'm almost always mixed when I am hypomanic, which means I have both anxiety and depression rather than anything euphoric. When I'm symptomatic, I feel totally cut off from anything spiritual.
And shattered_sanity's question - probably my trichotillomania. Supposedly 1% out something of the population has it, so some would say that it isn't unusual, but I know only one or two people in real life. I pull out my body hair compulsively without conscious thought so it has been nearly impossible to stop, though it has been lots better recently since I started talking to my therapist about it and got some strategies.
Do you fear your next episode?
