I am going through a bit of mania right now, coupled with a child-like excitement about Christmas. As a result, I am yakking a lot. I discovered an advantage to that, though, this morning: A telemarketer actually hung up on ME!!

Lol that's great! Congrats on getting them to hang up instead of you.

You definitely get stuff done while manic. The best time to clean the house is when you're manic, because you don't just get the room done, you get all the rooms done plus all the things you don't normally do like the blinds and the corners and the awkward spaces.

I've been saying, Dr. Skipper, that I need a touch of mania to get my house cleaned. I'm one of those folks who, sometimes when I'm manic, start cleaning and just can't stop! Definitely an advantage, too!

not only the house, but you can get other stuff done too
i heard somewhere (i can't remember where exactly) but when you're mannic, make the most of it... because once it's gone, it's gone- and you feel all sluggish again i love being mannic for exact reason- because i can get things done, and i actually feel a little normal |

I don't understand the mania that you are getting. Mine starts off as productive, but then it turns into frustration and then anger. I feel like I have no control over my mind and body and it gets to be scary. that is my hypomania.

Yes, mania can lead to anger, etc. It isn't always something to get happy about......I even eventually get scared when I start things and can't stop. But it can come in a bit handy sometimes, so I try to look on the bright side. Sometimes people even seem to enjoy my silliness, at least in moderation!
