Besides every once and a while having brief moments of clarity where I realize I'm being totally unproductive in my stupid-happy spazziness, I feel great. Haven't felt depressed in over a week (though I was exhausted enough to want to cry after I took zyprexa last night). I've been just ridiculously hyper and I'e had times where I just decided I could walk alone at night and would be able to to take on WHATEVER threat was posed to me. Most days I don't sleep more than 4 hours but I feel rested the next morning and wake up raring to go. I've had auditory hallucinations of my phone ringing and the school clock going off. I even hallucinated tornado sirens earlier today and almost panicked until it stopped suddenly and I didn't see any bad weather. And I've just randomly made costumes and written all sorts of things, sung loudly for no good reason, had to clean ALL the things, etc. I can't sit still and was really glad when my T called during my physics class yesterday so I would walk around.

I've been taking my meds as prescribed, except when I spazz out and forget for a few hours. I'm not... distressed, I guess? I'm too happy for that. But I would like to know what's going on.

The auditory hallucinations and the ultra risky behaivor of walking around at night feeling super human make me think of mania. For me, there is a marked difference in the two...when I'm manic I'm out of control but when I'm hypo I'm just super friendly positive and get a lot of things done. But ask your doc.
Thanks for this!

I used to have hallucinations that my phone was ringing! This was many, many years ago (like 12 years ago.) But, yes, I have had that before!

From your description, I'm going to guess manic. The higher risk behavior, hallucinations, number of projects and lots of clean.... that's just my opinion, not professional. Stay safe.

This is just my opinion but I'd say hypomania rather than full blown mania. Just based on my own experience when I'm manic I don't have the insight into it and couldn't post on here questioning it in a rational way - I'd just be out there making a mess of my life and wreaking havoc - but everyone is different. Hope u stabilise soon.
Thanks for this!
