From my symptoms I think my psychiatrist suspects either bipolar or sz. I think I might be bipolar, how do you know when you're entering a manic episode? Here's what I've been doing tonight:

Tried writing a story, keep switching between video games (like thirty seconds into a game I'll just pop another one in), downloaded season one of Lost which was 30 GB and I couldn't even get past the first episode so I deleted the series entirely. I've been eating like a maniac but that could be due to the meds. I really want something to do but I can't focus on anything. I can't sleep either for some reason.

I dunno. I thought i could fly and that angels were giving me messages and so was the sun into my brain. That was my mania a month ago.

Of course we can't diagnose anything, but that sounds somewhat like my hypomania, except I don't eat much when in that state.

As opposed to my most recent mania (which I'm still coming down from) when I was hearing music that wasn't playing and seeing shapes morph into scary figures. Not quite at the same level as Moose's, to be sure, but bad enough. It's all relative.
