A very good point - listening to music causes dopamine release. And me, too, the same experiences with activating music/mania/psychosis.
Here's a weird twist. So for a week or even more - I've had the music going on. This evening, I put some "real" music on and felt instantly UP...very much like a hypomanic WAY up. Listened to the music for about 90 minutes, turned it off. Was feeling VERY high.
Half an hour later I found myself with a splitting headache that would be a migraine, had I not immediately taken 900mg. of Advil. The music inside my mind, however, has stopped. I now feel centered and ready to peacefully sleep (except for the now-mild headache).
What were we saying about BD/Migraines/Seizure-type activity, and all that brain stuff? I'm actually thinking, more and more, that BD is a type of seizure disorder.
