I know many of you will relate...
Last night I joined this site, coinciding with some mania. True to form, I made like a million posts. This morning, woke up feeling "normal" and I am laughing at how mania can manifest itself, in my case, feeling like I have to post a million times bc I was so elated I found this site. I just have to laugh. Hope you think its funny too.

Sometimes I get embarrassed for how many posts on here and on Facebook I make when I'm hypomanic. I haven't been hypomanic in a good long while but I also make a lot of posts when I drink and I get embarrassed by that too. But you're right, sometimes you just have to laugh!

Hypomania is a milder form of mania. Like when I'm hypomanic, I'm euphoric and energetic and talking a mile a minute, but I'm still rooted in reality. When I'm fully manic I start to think I have magical powers and **** like that. I haven't been manic since spring of 2014 though.

Oh yes, it's intoxicating. I love it. But it tends to lead to bad things for me so it's better for me to not get there. I do miss it some days though.

LOL I did that when I first got on here. Thinking I was God's gift to the mentally ill or something. Maybe I should've cleaned house instead.

I want to start by saying
 newtobipolar. I'm glad you found us. I was dx'd BP around 10 years ago and I am still learning new things. It seems to be ever changing. I recently had a major mixed episode that destroyed my world. I had one once before but it wasn't so intense. There are things people on here have experienced that I have not. I would live in hypomania if there was a way to control that is where I would stay.

Hi and welcome to PC, feel free to post as much as you want, we are all here to help each other. Mania can be fun, but I always end up doing stupid things lol. I remember I took one of my exes and some of her family out to a 250 dollar dinner one time lol. In my opinion one of the best things to do when living with BP is to take it somewhat lightheartedly, improves the mood abit, hard for me to do when I'm depressed and feel like the whole world is crashing down on me though, but you win some and lose some.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
