So I thought I'd liven this place up a bit, yes this is the bp forum, but it doesnt mean that balance is a completely foreign concept! So here's my effort toward balance restoration...

*Running topless over a race course (nope, only friends were present,yes some, ok most were guys)

* Having sex with (ex) bf while he was driving around a mountain! Haha, he must be a bit bp too to have gone along with that!

* Flashing old men sitting on their balconies sipping tea.

these come to mind 1st...YOUR TURN!

[Clinte89]

No magic

[~Christina]

Ooooooooooo this is going to be fantastic

***Been there done that flashing bit hehehe I always thought it was normal .. maybe its a bipolar requirement

*** Loads of sex in odd out the way yet somehow public places LOL ...

****"On a manic happy clean my entire house and every stitch of clothes in my home day"... only to answer the door to the mailman while wearing nothing but a smile. that led to some .. well you can imagine.

[Clinte89]

Sorry mines not all happy and sex filled wish it was. Well I guess there was the music festival lol

[Trippin2.0]

No man clinte! Arent you rockinn it carefree right now? You are in the midst of a positive experience, in your 'checking in' thread you say you wanna enjoy it! Why is it not showing up in my HAPPY thread??? It doesnt have to be racey or news-worthy, just a moment YOU truelly enjoyed... You can do this, I know you can

[Clinte89]

Oh good point well right now I didn't consider myself in mania but I suppose it adds up well I'm rockin out jumping around my bedroom cause well I can't do it elsewhere oh and now it's always sunny is on and yeah I don't really care about anything lol sorry its just my most memorable times where not the best lol

[~Christina]

Also 2 months ago I hit a 5 day Manic spree ... I painted my house, cleaned my house from top to bottom AND literally scrubbed all my floors by hand with a freaking toothbrush.. I was cooking 3 meals a day every day . I didnt sleep a bit.. My husband just stayed out of my way LMAO .

Later he told me he wasnt going to say a word he was enjoying all the excess food I was whipping up .. Lol

[BlueInanna]

hmm...

i once drove around nakey with a guy, was goin down on him and he crashed the car... :/ the funniest part was us jumping up and down in front of the car, yelling profanities, and how his dong was bouncing in the romantic shine of the headlights. ahhh the magic...

haha... this one time I went out and bought a bunch of bricks to build a patio in my backyard. I was totally hypo at the time. Well... I got the brick home and as it turned out, I had no shovel. So...... I did what any good hypo would do at the time... I got a hammer and used the claw end to dig out the entire border and level out the middle ground for the brick!!! It worked wonderful but now I think how ridiculous I must have looked. lol. One of my many "magic" moments

I love just feeling the magic itself. I love the certainty that I can do ANYTHING! That I am doing amazing things and doing it better than anyone else around me, that I am superwoman! The self-esteem (if only temporary) and the confidence that comes with mania. The go Go GO! I love it. I am so free and careless (which reaps hellish consequences but in the moment is priceless!) It's a breath of fresh air. It's a relief. It's so good for the spirit and it's empowering.

[treehugger727]

I Love this idea, Trippin!

Oh the list I could type.....

*whipping out a twelve page paper for my Integrative Medicine class in 3.5 hours and getting a 98% on it! On 3 hours of sleep. Hells yeah! then proceeded to stay up until 3 am and get up at 6 a few hours for work.

*My three month fling with a guy who is five years younger than me and discovering that multiple orgasms were possible! Looking back, I think I was manic the whole three months...

*Drinking champagne from the bottle booze cruisin and flashing truckers on the freeway. Wonder if the friend who was driving was manic too... (scary now, fun then)

OK, enough sharing for now

[Anika.]

I thought semi public sex was a normal thing to do too. Does not require me to be manic, just not to get spotted.

I was manic for a 9 month period straight at the end of my college term, it was great. I kept my 4.0 marks and perfect attendance, but I had also taken up partying with the professors, and being extremely loud and obnoxious at school.

Now that I'm all calmed down, mania consists of cleaning with toothbrushes like MTW, and starting a bizillion projects, but hey I have been finishing them too. I stopped dumpster diving for the most part.. unless I see something really good.

[manic most days]

Naked sex everywhere!!!!! Answeing the door to the jehovah witness people naked, driving spontaneously to another state.... Oh man way too many all fun memories for sure tho!! I can't tell you how many people have said mentally unstable people are THE BEST SEX whoop whoop we good for something!!!! We're actually good for A LOT we're driven people!!!

[bluemountains]

I have many of the good sex ones like being on the top of a train, in a cavern at night, on the football field of my college-the football team is usually on tv every week, and so I get to enjoy that memory often.

I also have one that is very simple, but was so enjoyable! I was in that state that is before agitation, but with very heightened senses. I sat in the sand at the park, smelling the fresh air, and enjoying the super green of the trees. I remember thinking that the world absolutely could not get any better!

[faerie_moon_x]

During an after-show party when I was in college, I had the entire party gathered around me as I told every joke I knew.... for two hours... I was quite funny back in the day.

When I finished learning the full 108 moves of Taoist Tai Chi I drove to the tattoo parlor and got a huge fairy tattoo on my arm. $300 (wish I had that kind of money now, LOL) without a second thought.

I bought a dog once. Best dog I ever owned, I miss him so much. $700. Saw him in the window of a pet store and walked in and bought him. (Again, this is why I'm so poor now, LOL.)

I almost, like days away from labor almost, named my oldest son Xellos (Zel-ohhs). He's not named that, but it was really close!

[BlueInanna]

these are good, lol - great to see you Anika!!!

ok so another time, i was having the naked sex broad daylight with my youngest's daddy. first we did it in a tree next to the ocean cliffs, no one saw that. but then he had me hanging off the cliff over the ocean with my arms out - i was screaming and laughing thought i was flying (no drugs involved lol). it was the best ever! until... this elderly couple must've seen us from the road and came running over they thought i was being raped... omg that was embarrassing, but still one of the best ever.

he is here at my house fixing walls right now, if i mentioned it to him he would fall down laughing pretty cool we're still friends.

Thinking about it, back in late high school and college I always did my big papers or projects the day before and always, always got an A grade.... Even tho the internet existed I didn't have access. I was just really fast at research and everything... I mean, 10 pages in two hours (including all the research) was normal to me. I never considered it might be mania.

Also, I never studied for tests. Never cracked a book... haha... but I always got As and Bs, but I attributed that to the whole "I am a super genius" thing....

[Happy Camper]

These are great. It's a nice change of pace to hear positive things for once.

I remember one time when I was 8 or 9, I went on a compulsive cleaning spree and made the oven spotless after hours of scrubbing. When I was done, my own mother wanted to pay me for the job I did.

I also had a "super genius" period in highschool my freshman year; I went from B average student in middle school, to 4.0 GPA, top of every class and even made student of the month multiple times. The school had well over 2,000 people at the time.

Then, of course, there are times when it just feels like magic. I couldn't sleep one night because the sensation of moving my hands across the bed sheets felt so amazing. It was like I had taken ecstasy.

[hamster-bamster]

Flashing an otherwise GAY man and driving him crazy!

I remember coming home in a busload of high school students from a football game. The bus driver pulled into the station and parked the bus unintentionally with the door of the bus right next to a manhole on which the lid had been removed.

A good friend stepped off the bus and went right down the manhole. It was one funny sight. She came back up unhurt, but a little discombulated.

Oh my gosh Genetic, that is soo funny, straight out of a cartoon, I am glad she wasn't hurt, poor thing.

[Trippin2.0]

Thank you sO much guys for contributing, Anika, great to see you back! These stories are cracking me up big time before work! Lmao

[Victoria'smom]

Getting stopped by a cop for 120 in 60. Then flirting asking him to strip search us, telling him he needs to bring his drug puppy so we can play with it. Hey, he's the one that asked if we were high! Telling him we had to go because we're trying to flag down some hot guys to kidnap and ravish them . Never let me out when me & my siblings are manic. Consequence: My little sister can no longer drive in the state of Virginia.

Driving topless because my husband couldn't convince me that clothing is necessary.
Having DH swerve to park because I was not going to wait.

Running up a hill at a Cemetery, getting caught on a fence ripping my pants, because my husband swore creatures were chasing us. Okay, that one is only funny after.

Husband- Finishing a math test first. Jumping on the desk and proclaimed "I aced this test and for my reward I will consume all your soles."

Having a drunken one night stand w. a person that looks like an alien.

Convinced my husband to let me be a stripper only to lose interest by interview time.
and so many more

Having sex in the high school bathroom (repeatedly)

losing my virginity to a threesome

[BlueInanna]

i am cracking up

Genetic - your poor friend, omg, im so glad she was ok and we can lol!!!

Christina - the mailman rawwrrrr!!! i want to do that haha

MM - guy who looked like alien rofl rofl rofl rofl

I was thinking about the feeling of when i had credit cards, with actual space for purchase on them, and insisting friends come shopping with me, that i am buying everyone whatever they want, for their children too, and their pets! whoops lol, but it was a happy time

[Clinte89]

Once I was driving with my girlfriend a decided all the sudden to do a 180 in the middle of the road, so I yanked the ebrake downshifted dumped the clutch smoked the tires and took off she was none to happy about it. lol I enjoyed meself though.

Recently during one of my current issue my step sis looked at me like I was crazy cause I kept jumping around enjoying myself listening to screamo. It was aweomse and that was just last night I seen to be stuck in this cycle for the past 4 days.
