grandiose plans and ideas

Would these be considered grandiose thoughts and ideas-

all of a sudden up and deciding that you want to go back to school and reapplying. putting all of your time into looking for apartments and renting a car to drive 5 hrs away to see your adviser. and applying for classes and looking into loans... all while you have no job, virtually no savings, no car of your own.

begin journal making and opening a shop on etsy and putting 20+ journals up. spending every minute of free time cutting out pictures for journals, putting them all together. buying all new supplies to make them. even going as far as to create invoices, gift certificates, thank you notes to include in the orders, and trying to create a website.

grandiose or dreamer

I think dreamer. The things you want to do sound possible to me. Difficult, but possible. I'd say follow your dreams if that's what you really want

Delusional dreams played a big part in my mania. I would fantasize about my partaking in some future event, and then get so excited about it my heart would beat so fast it felt like it would pop out of my chest. It was a really enjoyable feeling, but it was impossible to sleep. Of course there is something not quite right about dreaming I'm Jesus and I'm about to be made king of the world, lol.

Hmmm...maybe both? I think these ideas are a little grandiose, but I don't think that's always a bad thing. I feel like having big dreams and out-of-the-box thinking are one of the benefits of bipolar disorder. I've had big ideas that were a little grandiose (or, okay, a lot grandiose), but sometimes they still worked out. For example, I quit a perfectly reasonable job and I moved to South Korea on a whim to teach English. Although there was some grandiosity going on in my planning this, it actually ended up being a wonderful experience that I will forever treasure.

Are you having any other symptoms that would point to a manic episode? How is your sleeping? Eating? Still managing your everyday routines?

I'm having alot of energy which is not normal for me. the last couple days I've been constantly laughing at everything and joking around. like today i passed my my friends house and leaned out the window yelling to say hey to them. not like me. last night i made myself take myself go to sleep around 3 and I woke up around 8 and got right up ready for the day. I've also found myself stumbling over words lately, especially today. This has never happened to me before. I was put back on wellbutrin xl and trazodone about a month ago and I dont know if these are just side effects of that or hypomania.

It sounds like your mood is elevating I would suggest you call your dr at least by Monday. I tried wellbutrin back in Sept and it pushed me into hypomania, didn't recognize it until Oct. Pdoc had to take me off it and change my mood stabilizer to stop the manic train.
