I'm usually pretty self-aware but with hypo/mania, I don't often realize it's happening until I come out of it. Sometimes it's really kind of subtle and all the energy is trapped inside and I can't channel it. It's been like that this spring, since mid-March. My thoughts tumble madly like squirrels in a cage, so fast that I can't even articulate them. I get 9 hours sleep some nights and 3 on others. I can't concentrate and I post random crap on Facebook...a lot of it. I try to write and it comes out inarticulate and with lots of typos. I feel like my mind is like emptying out the kitchen junk drawer on a trampoline.
