I get what you're saying. I get that way, too when I'm moving up toward mania. Once mania starts, I have to have all things tactile and sensual- in a strictly, feel-it-for-it's-own-sake way. I once took a massage toy while manic- a ball with three "feet"- and held it under my jaw to feel the vibrations in my tongue, and on my head, and and and....! I like to feel things with my fingers, too, especially things like the mortar between bricks in a building. Sex is over-the-top too. Last time I was manic, my pdoc prescribed lots of Seroquel to bring me "down". It worked. I finally slept like a baby. Four hours went by that seemed like 5 minutes! So yes I get what you're saying. You should contact your pdoc to get this under control soon, especially since you aren't sleeping.
