...about being up.

I don't miss the horrible parts of it, like the raging and screaming and wanting to yank my hair out and pacing around the apartment shouting **** randomly, and the scary parts of my psychosis.

But I had some seriously euphoric experiences. And I didn't realize how up I actually felt and how confident, until now. And how creative for that matter.

Now I feel like I have zero thoughts (which I realize probably isn't true because I was used to having way too many thoughts), my book is stalled, and I'm back to my mildly depressed self.

But mostly I'm suffering some situational depression since I managed to really **** up my life.

I don't know.

What do you guys miss?

I miss being hypo, I know it is bad for me. But does it ever feel good to start with. I miss how ****ing great everything smells, tastes, sounds and so on.

I also miss some of my experiences while hypo...especially when I was dating someone in particular. Unfortunately, when I entered a mixed state, I wasn't as pleasant to be around (I still treated him very well, but I was anxious and "all over the place") so my instability was more apparent. It didn't help that the person I was seeing wasn't that stable himself, so he called it off. I find myself longing for that "magic" that we had when we would go out nice places, and sometimes we'd stay somewhere for the weekend. We're talking now here and there again, so I'm hoping when I get myself right again, and he does too, that maybe we can go back to having some fun dates and taking it easy.

I don't miss any of it. Not a darn thing. If I had a choice of being manic or depressed Id take the deepest darkest hole that depression has to offer and stay there instead of putting my family through another manic episode. I don't ever want to go through that or put my family through that again.
Thanks for this!

I actually miss the fact I need very little sleep. The less sleep I have, the more things I can do. It increases my productivity by 200%.

When I'm hypo/manic, I'm a machine

I miss it to. I'm probably stable now 90% of the time and it's boring lol. When I'm hypo I'm so talkative and nice and pretty frisky as well lol. I've gotten into some trouble flirting while hypo. All in innocence though.

I miss the not needing sleep thing too. That part is pretty awesome. And I would also wake up feeling fantastic and would sort of leap out of bed.

lol

Life seemed a lot more exciting then.

Also, all those brilliant revelations... lol. If only they made sense now. I had some real gems.

I miss being able to accomplish things while hypomanic. Even now that I'm somewhat stable I'm tired a lot.
