Hey guys I just read a post on fb re this. What are your thoughts on this? It was a post on Bipolar Disorder On The Mighty.

I've been thinking about it and I too am addicted to hypo mania. If you think about it who wouldn't love feeling happy most of the time, feeling positive most of the time, smiley.

For me personally I enjoy the buzz I get and the feeling of normality. If I'm going to be honest with you all I haven't been on my meds since mid November. I feel amazing. Like properly generally genuinely happy. I'm not acting strange or anything, not speaking a million miles an hour, not having racing thoughts, not feeling particularly dangerous. I just feel human. I haven't told anyone irl and I'm not planning on cause for once I feel like a proper person. As you are all aware I'm non compliant with my meds anyway. This last time I lasted about 188 days on them. I couldn't even make it an even 200 days yeah I'm disappointed in myself as yet again I'm a screq up and have genuinely screwed myself over. Yet I feel great for it. Ok I'll admit i had bad side effects (tiredness, hangover effect, sore head, feeling sick) but this time it's really been the best thing I have done. I feel I'm thinking clearer for doing this. No-one has noticed a changed in me (family, friends, professionals) I'm clearly a con artist who can hid all of this.

I must be addicted to this feeling how else could you explain being non compliant and then this feeling I'm experiencing?
