My bipolar disorder mostly manifests itself in the form of severe depression or extreme irritability/rage. But the past two days I have been unable to sleep, I have been talking a mile a minute, my thoughts are racing, I can't stay focused and I am fighting the urge to shop. Which I have gotten into trouble with in the past. I know this is mania, but I don't typically get manic. I feel like I am outside of myself looking at someone I don't know. THis is not me, who I am or what I am like. I am on meds that I am very happy with and do not want anything changed so I guess Ijust have to wait and see how long this lasts. I couldn't sleep Friday night and finally got up at 5:30 am and was up for the day. I crashed around 8:30 and was up at 11 and just rolling around all night and now I have been up for over an hour and just find this very unusual. I am so used to being low. Not depressed, but low. Now I feel high and it is bizarre to me.
