I have been close to losing friends by saying anything and everything that came to my head, including things about their sex lives. But I was on meds. I don't remember having that many episodes before I went on meds, actually. When I was making a recording with a women's choir I was in, I was five months pregnant and an emotional mess. The director had to come to the car and gently talking me into coming in to sing with them for the recording. Being pregnant, I think I wasn't on any medication- except for Zoloft which I know I took at some point, but probably later in the pregnancy. This was four years before I was diagnosed. So yeah- no meds plus pregnancy equals crying outside the church while everyone else was inside to make the CD. I've been hypomanic at lunch with friends- very sped up and hyper, bouncing the knife and fork against the table over and over... But these things don't seem to bother me. Its getting to be manic where I think I can fly and that God is talking to me where things get scary!
