Even tough I started getting a little psychotic, I miss not having to sleep a whole lot and all the creativity. I have no real motivation to do the portrait I promised my best friend. I have all summer to do it at least, but still.
No motivation. Creativity down so I couldn't get the paint mixtures right. Dammit.

A lot of creative people feel that way. Many artists and musicians stay manic for that very reason.
I, on the other hand, would rather be stable than creative. |

I do too! I miss that unstoppable creative drive. I haven't made art in a long time, and I have people waiting on stuff from me, too. And I miss being able to clean the entire house in one night. I haven't cleaned in a very long time, just feeling down, no desire or energy to do it. I know the full-blown mania's not healthy though, especially at this point in my life when there's so much to be naturally stressed about. I need to stay on my medication!

Comicgeek - I do too at times. My house was much cleaner. Now I turn my nose up at a sink full of dishes, no longer dancing around the house with the broom. I miss my odd sense of humor & not having to pep talk myself out of bed.
I don't miss the insomnia, racing thoughts & short term memory loss. I went from mania to mildly depressed & unmotivated. I sure can talk a lot on the PC forum though. It helps.

this is exactly why i write poetry.
i use the mania to be creative, and write about my experiences- and yes, i do miss it when i've not got that creative streak.. oh and also i like it because sometimes i come out with the most random of things. like i'll say... meow, said the budgie, no reason.... just because i can. lol |

I don't blame you for missing mania. I, on the other hand, wish for mood stability back. I am in manic mode right now, and my meds are not doing a thing either. I have to wait until July to see a new PDoc. My old one went to a different clinic.

Maybe I'll take the time to do things that require no creativity. Like studying calculus.

I miss some aspects of mania. The happy
feeling, sense of humor and like others, cleaning. I don't miss the risky behavior, shopping sprees, insomnia, not eating and of course the crash. Don't get me wrong depression is hell on earth. I've been dealing w/ it since Oct. One med had been increase but didn't help. Now I'm trying a new med, been on it for six weeks. I called my pdoc to, waiting on a return call.
