I think I'm getting manic again. I don't want to sleep (which sux because of my meds), I feel like I really don't need my meds or to see my doctor because I feel like I don't need them, I want to take on a whole bunch of stuff at the same time right now.

How long do these episodes last for you? Is it mania or hypo?

Or mixed? The not sleeping is manic, but "wanting to take a whole bunch of pills at once" sounds like something you'd think about in a depression.

Ya that's true. Wasn't thinking. I'm just getting out of a mixed episode. It all sounds so easy but can be so complicated.

I don't think she was talking about taking a lot of pills at once, I think it was taking on a lot of projects at once?

That's definitely hypo territory for me.

Me too and the high energy, not wanting to take my meds... then once my mood isnt as buoyant I start to fail at all the extra projects and ideas I've begun and slide into depression.

I get super manic in the Spring even with my meds. My meds are good except in spring time.

Hello mania! I'm there too. Wondering how high it'll go this time. Scary thought sometimes, but I don't feel afraid of anything at the moment. I hope your mania goes well. (:

Ive hit hypomania twice this year which one was not characteristic at all since it was Feb. I went on a sex craze, brought two new cars, and got two tattoos. I was super energized abd had conversations with my children that I have been pitting off forever. The second came in the beginning of may which is usual for me. This is the kind I dont like. Irritation, anger, hypersexuality, and mixed episodes. Im currently still in the irritation mode. Hopefully will be coming out of that soon
