Can anybody relate to me when I say I've got so much energy that I want to do self harm?

It's weird to think about. Especially when I wouldn't even do it when depressed.

I don't know why... I just have some sudden infatuation with it that I've never felt before.

I think I can hold myself back so don't worry. 8-)

It's probably anxiety, it happens to me too. I then get depressed after i have a high moment, but they don't last too long.

When I get manic I tend to want to self harm because it's fun, like a drug for me and when I'm manic I want to drink and do drugs.

I'm no stranger to self harm; I don't do it anymore because I don't like leaving scars, but I'm tempted to see if this is true.

Actually I think a lot of people do it but in more subtle ways. A night of drinking hard is self harm. A lot of one night stands are self harm. Some extreme sports, jumping off roofs, gambling....if you think about them they're risky and usually some form of suffering but people amuse themselves with them.

I know when I get upset and/ or depressed I want to, but not so much "self" harm otherwise. To me blood flowing is a release and yes I have wanted it in a manic episode. For me, it is weird, there are times I wish it to happen but not by my hand. I know I don't make a lot of sense, but to answer your question, yes.
