You know you have bipolar when...!

When you swear you're the smartest person you know and have the answers to everything

Trees do talk, you just have to know how to listen

I relate to the eBay thing. Mine was 50 pairs of earrings

1. When not taking a shower for two weeks seems acceptable

2. When wearing the same pair of dirty grey sweatpants for that same two weeks seems just peachy-keen

3. When you jump up on a table, at university, mid-lecture, and yell "I am invincible"

You spend your day off posting On a bipolar forum

When you're illegally using the oncoming lane to overtake other cars and don't even care if someone comes the opposite direction.

- Thinking you need to own all the latest tech gadget in the electronic store.
- Come up with a topic to discuss overnight with your sibling for hours even when they are annoyed by it.
- You need a drastic style change. So you go shopping for a muscle tees, shorts and a cap and look like a hot hunky frat boy but in reality you look like a total crap since you have you have a beer belly and moobs(both moderate size tho lol). I guess this situation applies for girls/ladies too
- You need to have everything organised from music files to decorated items. Everthing must be perfect and hygenic.
- When you become a Satyriasis and one gender and few fetishes are not enough to fulfill your monster raging hormone.
- Regret everything you have done in the end.

When you go running in the middle of the night and you run and run until you just can't run anymore, so you fall asleep on a bench and you don't know where you are.

When you completely rearrange your room at 3 am when you have work the next morning!
Related: when you show up to work drunk on margaritas!

When you decide to take on a huge research project so you buy tons of textbooks and spend hours researching only to abandon it the next day

Oh and a few more:
When you blow your entire paycheck the second it's deposited into your account.. .I have done this way too many times... yikes!
Or better yet, when you decide it's up to you to save humanity and you decide to do so by donating a HUGE amount to your church... then the check bounces... that was embarrasing
and for the opposite pole... skipping class so much that your professor calls you to ask what's wrong... wearing the same clothes all week and never showering... staying in bed literally the whole day...

When cooking an entire roast chicken at 3am while everyone else is asleep seems like a good idea

When people tell you to slow down when you talk

you gain 30 lb then lose 30lb within 6 months

When your nickname becomes Yoyo.

you are combing your hair and hit a tangle.....then lop off 6 inches of your hair to teach it a lesson about getting tangled

I love this!

This happened today.

When you see your p-doc because you haven't seen her all summer, and she informs you, that "no, you are not cured and you still need to stay on your meds." AGAIN.

I keep thinking she might give in. lol

When you go out to buy milk and come home with a new car...

When you decide you should quit your job to become a muffin baker and you spend all night baking and googling recipes, only to become completely uninterested shortly after....

When you smash your trash cans against your house all the while claiming to anyone who asks that you were testing their durability.

When you are convinced that the feds are after you, and you see black vans outside spying on you. When you can go for days without sleeping and you think it is "fine" but in reality you are a mess and people are visibly concerned about your well being. Also in the camp of having people tell you to slow down when you are talking, especially when trying to relate a ridiculously complex topic to them that you "just figured out".

Having surgery, then spending 16-hour days making a prom dress when you should've been recuperating.

Yes, done this!

Deciding that you can adjust your own meds without talking to the pdoc because being bipolar makes you an amateur pharmacologist

Doing this right now. My appointment with my pdoc is on Monday but, of course, I can't wait and am doing the adjustment myself.

When you spend 3 months making Halloween costumes for 15 people, then decorate 2 bars on top of that (involving many handmade items and a false wall). Oh, and outdoor tree decorations (flying dementors) because it "sounds fun". Lol, it was, but by the end I was pretty burnt out on it.

Had a "partner in crime", so there were 2 of us, but it was still a ridiculous undertaking.

And to anyone who knows my "infamous moments of hypo/manic", yes, this was when I raised my hands to the sky and shouted, "I'm a f****** genius!!" Over aluminum foil, a Sharpie marker and glue gun. And ran down the street with a sewing machine (and up and down the street every single time we thought of a new item. Which was about every 5 minutes one day). Haha.

Ahhh, if only all hypo/mania were so fun... Sigh

You decide you hate the way a room in the house is arranged.
So you rearrange it, then decide you hate the new arrangement so you put it back the way it was and say "wow, this looks great!"

Lol! I totally have done this, but with Christmas! I started decorating in September and continued decorating all the way until Christmas day! I stayed up all night, night after night, making super delicate and intricate paper snowflakes. I had three different handmade countdowns. I didnt have a fire place so I made my own to hang stockings on! Haha!
