I mean, not generally people with the illness, but with you, specifically?
I find I walk faster, talk faster, have little patience with people (worse than usual!), make jokes much more frequently, want to discover new things, superficially ( read about art, find new music, find new movies, find new books, etc) and seem hyper-social. |

 Plus, I want sexsexsex! And I find that I require less food- I often forget to eat. I tend to start new projects or research things almost frantically. I find myself feeling like I have to shop or buy something. I feel very creative- I draw a lot, paint, write, want to design skirts and make crafts with leaves and bake and clean my house and reorganize the silverware drawer and seek out things to iron and make meal after meal so that we are good for the week. Just talking about it makes me feel a little wave coming on...

Treehugger -- I totally forgot the food thing -- I am the same. It will be 6 or 7 at night and I will think, "Well! I haven't eaten today and I'm not even hungry!!"
Oh, and I stay up late cleaning! This summer, I decided to rearrange the kitchen cabinets ... again ... and again ... and again ... til almost 3am ... actually, it got kinda annoying, because I *could not* organize them in a way that satisfied me. |

 I dont think he has associated it with my mania but I guess that doesn't matter. I just try to be mindful when I get like that to avoid the more dangerous side of it. I also find that there is the mean mania that includes periods of rage, my desire to ram my car into people on the freeway who I feel are not up to par on their driving skills, and driving too fast. Also spending money I shouldnt. Usually I try to stick to the first list when possible.

I usually feel great full of energy, listen to loud music, jump around, talk fast think fast, everything is funny, and then there is the paranoia and rage side of things that happens sometimes more often I I've had a drink. But you get the idea

I spend and spend money on everything from clothes to a freaking house. Yes, I bought a 2nd house during a Manic episode. People irritate the hell out of me because they are so slow, and I feel superior. I have grandious ideas, paranoia, and insomnia.
Suxs, huh. TnT
