When you experience mania or hypomania, does your health suffer as well?
Even if I don't feel the need for sleep, others observe that something isn't right with me. It shows in my face, and my eyes get puffy and red sometimes from being up so much. This is happening to me lately....this week actually.
Plus, I stopped taking care of myself, not eating properly and had to leave work early today.
I'm not at my highest point of mania.....more hypo. Not happy, euphoric, hypo. More of the kind where you stay up, get into various projects, not being able to turn off your mind, not sleeping. Just running and running. My health suffers when I get this way. Just wondering if anyone else experiences anything similar, like not appearing as healthy as normal or getting physical symptoms from not taking care of yourself as much?
