Not sure if anyone could relate to this, but I've been experiencing some hypomanic symptoms over the past few weeks where I changed my whole look. Sometimes when I go through an episode, I end up going through a whole phase where I try to "reinvent myself,'" especially when on the manicky side. I'll get so absorbed with wanting to change my hair, my clothes, my identity...everything. I dyed my hair a completely different color and now regret it, and I ended up dropping $300. Got into an argument with someone when she said she didn't like it. I've been flying off the handle a lot lately and have been really irritable, almost started breaking things. This is affecting my relationship with a couple of my family members who no longer want to spend time with me due to an altercation I had with one of them. Seroquel is helping me get some sleep, but my mood is definitely off.
