Right before going hypo-manic I ALWAYS have a very vivid dream. Not a bad dream juts extremely vivid and interesting. After that I KNOW that the energy filled wacky times will come when I sleep 5 hours WITH ambien, if lucky...and chatter with everybody, while become again very interested in some spiritual venue. All the while I am taking lithium (which admittedly shortens the period and perhaps makes it a little less intense). During phase shifting I too get irritable and easily annoyed or agitated.
When I was not taking lithium I had seen signs in every little thing during episodes like this, having what some call "magical thinking", I have only traces of that left.

Lately I have been experiencing some weird agitation and impatience. I feel like I'm just floating on through life right now and my mind is going full speed. I'm pretty sure I'm headed towards an episode because I'm experiencing some psychotic symptoms as well but I'm just wondering if anyone else feels tense and extremely agitated before they have an episode?
I'm still learning about this disorder. I was diagnosed only three years ago. I've been medicated ever since.
