Perhaps we could use some comic relief and universality...
Does anyone have anything funny to share while they were manic, that in retrospect you totally regret due to embarrassment ?? I would have stated "shame and embarrassment" but sometimes we need to look at life with humor and reframe those moments and situations of shame into moments of utter stupidity... Anyway, I will start.. Um basically one night I went out with my friend to a gallery opening (Los Angeles), and I saw my crush for 2 years (we never really talked though, but knew each other); I, of course, proceeded to get drunk from the $2 wine they had (haha) and started talking to him about david bowie and astrology (um, what the hell was i thinking?!) - anyway, i forgot that my other guy friend (who liked me alot) was coming along. So I am talking to my crush and certain that he likes me, and will make a move. I remind him of how we came to know each other (blah blah) and for some reason, he takes his phone out and I just start like giving him my number! In the meantime, my other two friends are behind me just chatting and my crush was actually with ANOTHER GIRL who was standing like 3 ft away. Oh God. Here's the kicker: as I was giving him my number, he wasn't even typing it, he was just looking at me like I was some stranger. And then I told him to add me on facebook. Oh my God, so dumb. Anyway. I leave right after that with my friends. Why did I do that? Oh yeah, bc I was manic and dumb and thought i was indestructible. He never added me or called me. Jerk. When I'm manic I just act like a stupid high school girl - drunk, flirty, chatty, loud ugh. why |

Ok, here goes. I am a staunch lesbian. But when I was manic I flirted with the male pharmacist at the psych hospital, who was probably gay. I thought he was "pretty". Anyway...

After meeting someone online and later talking on the phone, we each agreed to travel 8-10 hours to meet halfway...I actually was " " this close to asking her to marry me at our first meeting. What was I thinking?

Grabbing my ex at a party and demanding he take me outside for sex. We went to a graveyard and... ahem. Actually, lots of sex things with him. Bookshops, rowboats, crypts of churches, parks, the cinema, on a train...
I'm amazed we weren't arrested. I mean I got arrested, but for other things. I'm amazed he put up with me... mind you, I met him when we were nineteen. I suppose a nineteen year old man will do anything for sex.

HA!
Let's just say that when in 3 full-blown manic episodes, I was taken to the hospital instead of being arrested for public nudity...once it was riding my bicycle during a rainstorm...(it was GREAT!!)

oh man so funny! all of these!
yeah gosh the sexual things we do when manic, there needs to be a tv show. i remember getting back with an ex and on the second time we hung out, i totally expected sex from him and even brought toys for the occasion. he was kinda shocked and didn't want to, citing the "i wanna get to you know" line. haha. so redic! |

I was at a family party and we were telling jokes back and forth, just laughing and having fun. I decided to share some pick-up lines. I rattled of about 20 which were pretty racy. I couldn't help it, I was cracking my self up and totally busting a gut. Finally, after I ran out, I realized everyone was just staring at me. They were NOT amused at my crude sense of humor, except of course my 16 y/o nephew! lol

I do not think you are a jerk - I think that your behavior is very similar to mine when I go manic - it is a side effect I suppose of our illness, if you want to refer to it as such = I have had many similar experiences, particularly with the opposite sex - so... |

When I was manic I just kept trying to meet more and more men...meet for drinks, then back to my place...I didn't care at all.
The embarassing moment - when my best friend told me my downstairs neighbor asked her if I was a call girl

Okay so I am straightish but once when manic I got it into my head (at a lesbian bar) that I would take home one of the bartenders. I don't really think she was gay and the bartenders were not allowed to give out their numbers but I couldn't take the rejection! In my drunken manic mind it made perfect sense to harass this poor girl ALL night. Another bartender had to escort me out at closing time.
WTF was I thinking????????? |

Hmmm yes, recently I was shopping with my husband and right there in the frozen food section, I jumped on his back and started biting his neck.....in a sexually fused way *blushes* I then went on to throw a bag of frozen peas at him, he turned round and asked if I thought my behaviour was appropriate for a food store, so I proceeded to laugh like a loonatic, ran up behind him and continued to try and bite his neck ??? HA, funny looking back at it I guess but not for him

Me in the shoe store about an hour ago
"no, I don't need any help. I am feel kinda manic and i have money on my credit card. Can I just look at the shoes?" (sadly, there were no shoes to my liking and assistant kept annoying me, so I left. I get like that when manicky. Let me go through the stuff and grab something. Don't stand behind me and try to be helpful... lol).

Before I was dx'd and medicated, I think it was the manic phases that made me totally forget about my bf, and over time start a relationship with a female colleague. Generally I'd call myself straight, but at the time I was definitely bi. Left my 2 year relationship behind, had a 6 month relationship with a woman, when that ended, I crashed and went off to hospital and started being medicated.
Other than that, I am only hypomanic at times and get by with a lot less sleep than normal Not quite as exciting as you all! |

Once in Ikea, returning a faulty piece of goods, I started on a long rant about how transnational consumerism was symptomatic of the imminent collapse of society, and Ikea's secret plan was to destabilise the governments of the world, as evidenced by the fact that people who made furniture out of flat packs would either be driven to despair, or to live in yurts. I then demanded they sell me a yurt. The lady had no idea what a yurt was, but I continued demanding one, and asked to see the manager.
My husband was laughing his head off, while trying to calm me down. A lot of people were laughing... turned out some of them thought I had a hidden camera on me and was filming for a tv comedy show. Another time I went off on a truly random rant was when I saw an RSPCA stall, extolling the values of Freedom Food. I started declaiming, at the top of my voice, that Freedom Food created a wonderful rosey world where animals lept joyously to the butcher's blade, the world was full of unicorns, and that pigs wanted to be eaten. Obviously I was being ironic... but you'd be surprised how many people just thought I was a simply a loud person speaking on behalf of the RSPCA. On that occasion I was moved on by the police, who did seem to think it was kind of funny.

I lived in a second floor apartment with a steep roof pitch that sluiced into a veritable waterfall onto my balcony. One hot summer day, we got a sudden downpour and i took all my clothes off, stepped out on the balcony and pretended I was in one of those island hideaways you see in pictures. Fortunately, it backed onto the woods! Another arrest avoided!

Seems like nudity is quite a common thing... I used to go out into my garden nude an awful lot, though, to be fair, after dusk, just doing normal gardening... weeding, planting cabbages, mowing the lawn etc... (Mowing the lawn made me laugh because me bits jiggled. I wasn't so fat in those days, so the jiggling didn't take in every available surface inch of my anatomy.)
Ye gods, I don't know what the neighbours must have thought...

I was diagnosed fairly early, at 19 and never had a full-blown mania. Instead I was hospitalized for depression and I've had fairly consistent mixed states since.
However, the worst I've probably done is convince my boyfriend that we needed to buy a tv. I don't have a car and the transit system would have been a waste so we walked about 3/4 a mile with a 32 inch t.v. I don't have to be manic to enjoy being nude/partially nude. >>; It's more comfortable.
