Wierdest thing you've ever done while manic..

I've done a lot of wierd things - most I wouldn't post but one of my favs...

I packed my car - drove from Massachusetts to Nashville, TN to live with someone who I barely knew thinking that I was destined to become famous. She (my roomate) was on a reality TV show and I met her by chance at a hotel and we ended up becoming friends. Went through all my money and credit cards (over 10K in debt) and came home like nothing was wierd.
I laugh looking back but people must have thought I was insane. Traveling 19 hours with a car full of crap and the last $100 to my name - just to live with someone I barely knew - stayed there for 9 months until I hit rock bottom..

That doesn't sound so strange to some of the stories that I've heard, but it's a shame that you had to go through that. When manic we certainly get some crazy ideas and sometimes act on them. I'm glad it worked out and that you came out of it okay.

I sent my husband's dad, who is very Christian and strict, a long email saying God told him to forgive his father.
I have never talked personal stuff with this man before and all the sudden I'm talking about his childhood that I thought I suddenly knew everything about.

Very weird for me because he doesn't know about the bipolar. Not really sure what he thinks. Lol

I woke up in the middle of the night with a nosebleed (year-round allergies, it happens sometimes), got really fascinated with color of the fresh blood and started rummaging through my makeup to see if I had a lipstick the exact same shade.

I laid a table with a random white (soiled..mebbe ) sheet I found in a looney bin corridor and proceeded to serve dinner to those who had seated themselves there. Those sat at the self service,
'un-betableclothed' tables looked a bit jealous actually. It was like the night club VIP lounge equivalent of looney bin dinner tables.

I drove everywhere with my left leg hanging out the driver's side window while driving. And I have an old nissan sentra. It just seemed right.

was it a manuel?

I thought everyone was out to get me. I had these very elaborate ideas of how the people I know, we're planning my demise and trying to get me to kill myself.

I've had lots of fun mania, but the bad ones are what I remember most. The bad times keep me on my meds.

I've never really experienced full blown happy mania, so I've never done anything that weird. Howuever, this last manic episode I experienced psychosis and did a lot of bizarre things. I don't remember what was real or not, but do recollect going outside on break at work and one of my friends was there (I don't know why she would have been there?) and having an entire conversation with her, and then she was just gone, so in hindsight it probably looked like I was standing there talking to myself.

During same episode I was making collage after collage to generate more "positive energy" and some of the pictures of people were talking to me, and I remember talking back to them, in presence of my daughter, so there's probably a legit reason for her saying mommy is scary when I got out of the hospital.

I also was snapping my wrists repeatedly with rubber bands to try and "wake" myself up, but that's probably not that weird.

Met a guy from internet. Left my car at a park in another state and rode with him to his house (after making out with him in car...) and we had sexual encounter. I don't remember his name and have no clue where we were.

I once got up in the window of a friend's car, the top half of me hanging out of the window while we were out cruising at 3 am, singing along with the Rolling Stones at the top of my lungs. I was manic as hell and didn't care one bit about disturbing the neighborhoods we drove through. LOL

It wasn't a manual. That would have been really tricky.

I bought my ex bf a car. A brad new effing car.

I threw some stuff in a bag and stayed on an island for a few days because I believed the island was magic. I told everyone I was going to write a book about all its secrets and they were just like "uhh..."

I don't know that I could rank them right now. But one is that I was afraid to go to sleep because I thought my soul was going to be transferred (it's complicated hehe) so I would only sleep holding a rock (a special one obv) to hold me "grounded" to the "earth".

While in the shower, I drank tons of water all at once (because God told me to) and then vomited it back up believing I was vomiting evil spirits. Then I shook uncontrollably thinking that I was possessed and The Lord was casting out an evil spirit. I just kept chanting "Lord, take this fear from me." Later, my back burned and my hands smelled like urine. These were hallucinations but I believed the burning on my back was from demons scratching their way out and the smell of urine was the smell the demons left behind.

When manic happy manic I talk a lot and I've had sexual encounters with men I barely just met that totally isn't safe I have learned to try and control the urges and I'm on medication I'm married now so cheating is a big no no even though my marriage sucks right now lol and I'm very friendly when manic I say and do werid things.. I am very friendly in happy manic and want to talk to anybody about anything I also workout a lot when manic bc I have so much energy if I dont I have to throw a basketball or something to release my stress

How about buying 19 pairs of high-heeled shoes all at the same time?
I work in the oil-patch and wear either work boots or runners at work
And I am a home-body and don't go out
Yep, they are still in the boxes

I was at a huge St Patrick's day celebration years ago in a completely different state from where I live and it was impossible to find a taxi to go back to the hotel. I was with two other friends yet I walked up to a guy on a motorcycle with an empty backseat and asked for a ride to my hotel. He said yes, I got on and happily waved goodbye to my friends who stood there looking astonished. We were following his friends on their motorcycle and stopped at a convenient station. Once there I asked if they were from the area. They laughed, we were now in another state. He did drive me to my hotel and I ended up safe, luckily.

Another time I got angry at all of my friends and walked out on a gathering without saying goodbye. Began walking the 5 miles home at 1am. Ten minutes into my walk a guy who was the manager at Popeyes pulled over and asked if I wanted a ride home. I accepted and let him drive me to my actual address AND the whole ride told him how I was moving in two weeks (I actually was) then invited him to my going away party.

Oh and one time I decided at night to get a tattoo. There was a wait so I got my nipples pietced as well!

I got my nipples pierced yesterday and showed people on the internet on this site that I haven't met irl. Rofl.

Did the whole nipple piercing hurt. Because that sounds really painful. Just ouch. Lol

I've always wanted to pierce my nipples!

Do you still have them?

Have they ever got caught on something and like tugged your nipple off??

Also can you get it done anywhere that does ears like Claires?

We moved into our new house a couple of years ago, during a time I couldn't sleep, I decided we needed a walking path from our back deck to the driveway on the side of the house so of course the middle of the night with only a back light on was the best time to outline that path with a butter knife. The look on my husband's face when he woke up to find me outside on my knees in the dark was priceless.
