Well, I'm bipolar II, but when I get into a 'high' I don't feel stoned at all, I don't even feel happy actually... I've got a lot of energy then, and a endless motivation, but there's a difference with being happy... a couple of months ago I felt real hapiness again, for no reason, just being happy, and then I suddenly realise there's a big difference between the feeling of being happy and being manic. I don't know it's like difficult too explain. When you feel happy like a normal person, there's more a sense of warmth, like there are many small feelings melting into one. When I'm (hypo)manic, it's like one huge block of energy. I think drug users would describe it as the difference between XTC vs lots of speed.

There's also no fuziness involved in the feeling. I then feel my ideas are crystal clear, instead of 'all fuzzy and warm' like with pot.

I read you just got diagnosed, and for me, after diagnosis, the first hard thing too do was accepting that drugs were no good for me. Really, I wondered around on this globe for 4 years after being diagnosed, on drugs. It wasn't a good feeling at all. Before I crashed down with bipolar psychosis, drugs were fun, and let me enjoy the world more. But now, I just makes me go totally unstable and most of the times, afraid.

I also feel that we(as in 'us, freaks' ) don't need drugs: we're creative and 'funky' enough as we are

But that's probably not an answer too your question. Yes, if I read your post, I immediatly think of bipolar. Don't go worrying about that because
1) yes, you're different. Everybody's different. We're just that tiny but more different than the rest. I'm glad that I'm like that.
2) If you take your meds regurarly, you'll be just fine.
3) Worrying never solved anything.
