You Know You are Manic When .....

When you get a pizza craving, indulge it, then realize you have eaten the box as well !!

What! You ate the box!?

Sure, but what kind are you referring to, BlackPup?

I believe mine are real. And I am not even joking. I had several people confirm me that these things are indeed possible and real.

In my manic or depressed states I am more sensitive... so I can get out of body experience in the middle of the crowd, or I see my aura without even attempting to do so...

start thinking that its definately i good idea to have another baby, reguardless of poverty, lack of a stable relationship and the on coming depression.

You know you are manic when....

You start answering your own questions because no one else can follow you, they have given up trying, or they are calling the men in white coats carrying a mattress ...

You know you are manic when....

You make so much vegetable soup that you fill the freezer and use up all the plastic containers in the apartment...

1. You suggest to your instructor that she has schizophrenic traits.
2. You decide drinking scotch at 9 AM after taking oxycodone and klonipin while movers pack your home is a neat idea.
3. You're overcome with so much anger you beat the feathers out of a toilet paper dispenser.
4. You trade your third leased car in a row in early because you NEED a new car.
5. You let your wife talk you out of buying a third car (a sports car, of course) but trick her into buying a new house instead.
6. You decide you might like to hear what Tupac Shakur sounds like so you buy every CD he ever produced.

OMW, Brilliant!

ROFLMAO! Seriously! Everyone has hit so many that ring so very very true that I'm crying for the laughing...Ok...

*You think how you really need to play some music. And you already are. (Why not listen to it all at once?! )

*In the middle of the night cutting chunks out of your hair with dollar scissors to go with something waaay different, because, "how hard could it be?!" (you mean... being able to hold a mirror and scissors at the same time to even see what you're doing actually matters???!!!)

*You think it's a brilliant idea to sell the house and move thousands of miles to a place you've never even visited. Or even been near. For no reason whatsoever.

Ripping down seriously high curving mountain passes at 85 (or soooo...) thinking... "Seriously, I should've been a race car driver!" (There wasn't much traffic, so... don't get too bent... ) (Btw, on your way to what you know will be 3 days of barely sleeping after sleeping only 2 hours ...)

*Dancing wildly while shouting out, "I'm a f***ing genius!!!" waving a glue gun, marker and aluminum foil.

Umm... yeah.

Hehe, I quite enjoy doing this

Innerzone - I totally get the "driving like a maniac" and "Selling the house to move miles away".

I also tend to want to trade my car in and get a new one.

I decide to drink copious amounts of alcohol, because it's cool.

And on the negative - my anxiety levels shoot through the roof and I cannot function too well

... when you can't understand anything anyone says to you cos your own thoughts are so loud and fast the other person just looks like they are miming at you in a crowded football stadium.

when you are talking to someone and they walk away and you keep talking...than you realize that you can have more of a intellectual conversation with yourself than conversing with another human being.......while minutes later out of the corner of your eye you can see the person coming back into the room peering at you like your a little looney...

i know this one has been said before probly but oh well...i also bust out in songs all the time, and when i am talking if words i use are part of a song i will start singing it (people aorund me know and go along with it)

i also do the driving 50 miles away because i have a craving for sonic and realize well since i'm here i might as well drive another few hours and get a hotel and do some shopping and gambling....2 days later back home and get the "where the hell have you been" and say went to sonic....

i have realized by now it's not that i want to start something up...i just want to spend my money with a purpose

recently mine was the 2G worth gym equipment in garage and the excalibur dehydrater (i ain't even goin there with the price i paid) cause i wanted to dehydrate everything!

and if you haven't noticed yet

To repeteadly post/talk because you have the best ideas and you want to make sure you get the point across so you repeat yourself in different ways but all in all you are saying the same thing and the person/people get it but you still think they don't.

I did the same thing with painting,photography,online video games, sewing, canning, the wii fit, drawing, guitar, a cold smoker (i smoked alot of cheese), knitting and many other things. You know the best part? when i read your post i really could only think...man....what i wouldn't give for a food dehidrator...just think of the money i could save(despite the pact that i don't buy any of those things). I could make my own jerky, and dried fruits!...oh and i think you can even do fruit leathers...AMAZING I WANT ONE SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...alright half way through i just had to stop and start researching what else i can dry. This could be my next phase lol

I knew I was manic.....when I was driving down an icy road and lost control (anyone could have) did a 360 then off through the ditch and up into someones yard coming to an abrut stop almost rolling the car on the side. I jumped out of my car and was jumping around screaming "HOLY *****, did you see that? That was F*ing awsome!" The man shoveling his driveway call the ambulance.......

You decide to move to a different state (about 10 pm) well, of course, it must be done right away so you pack everything you own into your car, drop all your classes and move...right then.

I decided at 1am that i wanted to go to drumheller witch is 7 hours away for a vaction...we drove all night and made it there for sunrise.

its amazing how mania can be so dangerous, so funny, so sad. It can destroy u or give u the experience of your life.

the walls have snakes undulating inside them.
when said snakes wear shoes and top hats
when you giggle and hit on a guy even when you're lesbian, hell you hit on every girl too.
when you can't stop laughing even when people stare and start to look scared.

... you lose the overwhelming hopelessness of depression and the urge to sell everything you own because you're certain you will never function productively again, then suddenly you borrow $4000 to buy the latest Mac Pro to take on the photography business by storm.

When it's 4am and your wide awake...and you haven't slept more then 2 hours since you started back on your medication

when you are your also bipolar girlfriend stay up until 10am talking and laughing about absolutely nothign and contemplate going outside to throw condoms at strangers but somehow get distracted by *****ing about ex girlfriends.

When you daydream this grand adventures with celebrities you'll never meet and in all actuality probably wouldn't want to hang out with you either. Even though you're awesome and they should be, like, your best friend.

Start writing on that novel you began several months ago with the conviction that it will make you famous and you WILL get to hang out with the celebrities you day dream about.

Speed read a "You know you are manic when" thread while have fourteen other tabs opened on the internet.
