Do you ever get so silly/giggly when (hypo)manic that it irritates the hell out of other people? Can you be serious when (hypo)manic?
Just had a pdoc appointment. I couldn't stop laughing. I literally laughed at nearly everything he said. (I'm just too giggly and silly!) I think he was a bit peeved, but he also recognized that I'm hypo right now. I just can't be serious when I'm like this. Everything is a funny joke to me. When manic, however, I'm usually panicky because I'm hallucinating. I take things VERY seriously. My manias are not fun. |

Nothing quite that extreme, but I want to make everything a joke. One-liners, sarcasm, zingers, quips, bits...it's very hard to control. Yes, I can be legit funny, but so often my humor only makes sense to me. I get that look like, "What did you just say to me?" And then I have to explain. Honestly, it's very embarrassing at times. Sometimes I don't realize how it must have played until later.
Can I fight it? Yes. And my wife is a key player in that. She stays close by so she can squeeze my arm or kick my foot when I'm stepping over the line. When I don't have her near, I just try to keep to myself if I get that way...like if I'm at a party.

When I'm hypo, things are more funny and I do get states that maybe something isn't AS FUNNY as I think it is. But I can usually be serious too, but I might take things wrong or find humor in stuff most people wouldn't.

TI sent around a joke text to everyone in my contacts I thought it was appropriate to send it to, but out of the twenty people I sent it to, nobody got the joke... The joke went as follows, a couple go to the zoo, there was only one animal....... it was a shih tzu...

I get giggly too when I'm manic or hypomanic. Sometimes it's at inappropriate times. I've laughed in serious meetings out of nowhere. I just can't control it when that happens during an episode. Others have also been confused by me laughing at the wrong time and asked me about it, but I really have no clue why this happens.

I don't get this way. I just get serious and angry for the most part. Or maybe I do get a little silly. I don't know.

I remember losing it once at my gp's office when I was hypo. I just couldn't stop laughing and laughing no matter how many times she was trying to tell me it's important I take my meds.

this reminds me of the time I broke out laughing for no reason in the middle of a math lecture
and started singing the teletubbies tune for no reason at all, just that I could when i'm in a normal state though, I'm too serious. people get annoyed at that and are like emily, you do realise it's okay to have fun bring on the mania and i'm not serious at all more like an 8 year old in a candy store. |

One time when manic I laughed so hard for about 8 hours straight that there were tears streaming down my face & I could hardly catch my breath. Man, did it feel good! They tested me for drugs in my system but, of course, found nothing. It was good old Mother Nature. I'd like to laugh that hard again sometime...without crashing & landing in an isolation room.

Yup. I remember once I took my meds and went into a laughing fit while my girlfriend was there and she thought I took drugs instead of my meds. Nope.
I also got kicked out of groups multiple times for not being able to control my laughter. I've upset my family multiple times for not taking things seriously as well. |

I love laughing. When I get manic I sometimes say mean things to my friends in a diatribe. Not good.

I once got myself kicked out of a meeting at work because I got to laughing and couldn't stop. Everything was hilarious, including a discussion about a bad survey we'd had. Not good. That was a part of the reason I got the boot a month later...I was manic and couldn't control myself. I was romping around at work, skipping down the halls singing loudly (and I can't carry a tune in a bucket) and generally making a nuisance of myself. At the time I didn't understand why I lost my job, but in retrospect it makes all kinds of sense; I was a professional, for Pete's sake. Instead I was acting like a five-year-old. Sure had a good time during that episode, though.

I'm laughing so hard my sides ache. I was making what some might consider "inappropriate comments," which were just downright funny in my mind. I can sometimes amuse myself with little effort & it feels very good.

I definitely have gotten in trouble with my therapist for making everything a joke. I start to think that the instability itself is hilarious and that's where he draws the line

I turn into a sarcastic Chatty Cathy. I offend people while at the same time thinking I'm the shining star and life of the party. I Laugh at inappropriate things and cry when everyone else is laughing.

I just got a laugh flash yesterday when trying to fall asleep. Startled my boyfriend who was already half asleep because I just burst into laughter because the fact that I couldn't fall asleep was all too funny to me. Took half an hour to calm down, I was really surpressing more and more laughter but I didn't want him to think that I am mad. Happens a lot to me lately, for example when I cannot sleep I try to count sheep (did that only once) but the sheep don't just jump over the fence, in my head they will make funny movements and I end up laughing until my stomach hurts instead of sleeping. I also get very puny, with family and friends and sometimes make comments or try to describe thoughts absolutely noone gets but I think they are obvious in that Moment.

I can. Just very very driven. But I have been driven lately even when "stable". I just tend to be more random when on the hypo side, more outspoken and courageous.
