Is it all bad?
__________________
Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide. See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me. |

After having been stable for a couple of years -now with a bout of depression that I think is starting to lift a little bit, who knows- I look back and believe that the hypomania's -BEFORE they would turn ugly- were not bad. At all. In fact, liberating, exciting, ahhh ecstasy!
If I could magically control them, say, take meds only when they start to turn ugly and stop them from turning into mania, I would do it in a heartbeat. I'd LOVE to not take meds except when 'necessary.' I wish it were that easy. So well controlled hypomania (whatever that really is), not bad, mania -bad, because it comes with psychosis for me, bizarre and very scary thoughts, paranoia, etc. |

Okay... maybe it's not all horrible. I liked feeling that confident, getting so much done, having that much energy, not needing as much sleep, having intense euphoric/spiritual experiences, feeling in touch with the universe, feeling that clear headed and sharp, and being able to talk to people without my usual awkward mumbling.

As I am newly diagnosed and on reflection I have had bad mania on 3 occasions. Hypomania is very new to me, maybe I have experienced it all my life without recognising it. I would have thought it was just me, now I questioned it. I have had bouts of depression but nothing like what I am experiencing now. I been going through a very long episode of first mania (ended in hospital) and now depression. This has been going on for 9 months.

I get beautiful, euphoric hypomanias that start well but end badly and are very expensive. I get a lot done and have boundless energy and enthusiasm but it ends in frustration and paranoia with a dent in my bank account from all the indulgent living. So sure, there are good things about it, but on the whole i am glad to do without hypomania.

No......but for me, it's a mixed bag. I don't think the good outweighs the bad. While I'm a bit duller intellectually these, I used to run into brick walls after a manic episode and tear through anything in my way. I got tired of trading off being sharp with being a jerk.
