Mania, here I come.
Love it, love it, love it
I am down to four hours of sleep

I love music.
I love everything right now

Plus I've promised myself I will stay off eBay and Amazon (my weaknesses)

yay me too

I need to stop driving though. I was going 95-100mph today (153-161 km/h) on the highway

My probelm with Amazon is... I have an Amazon Credit Card and I have a bunch of FREE spending money. I'm hooked!

I wish I had your restraint

Enjoy, but maybe ease off on the gas pedal. You won't enjoy your mania if you end up wrecking your car and end up in the hospital.

I totally miss being manic. I have had the best experiences of my life while being so. BUT, I have paid a big price. Be very caareful - espcially with your money. It might be helpful to have someone assist you with this or make yourself a budget.

No, you're not the only one. When I'm manic, I hate the energy that I can't control and that I can't sleep. I'm not nice. I'm impatient, mean, irritable, I think I'm smarter than everyone else. I want, no, demand everything is my way and really am an all around unpleasant person. I have had euphoric mania twice but normally when I'm manic, I'm the way I described.
Thanks for this!

I love being manic/hypo while it lasts. When I come down, not so much. Especially not when I have to deal with the consequences of my behavior while up.

I'm still learning how to channel the energy in ways that are not destructive. Thankfully it happens to me a lot less now.

You are not the only one. I don't enjoy being manic at all. I feel like I need to climb out of my skin. I get extremely irritable, confrontational and agitated. I also get severe panic attacks that are so bad that I have trouble breathing. Really not my idea of a good time

I put some old disco music on my iPod and now I am dancing around the living room. I'm having so much fun.
I want to cry because I know the fun won't last, but I pray for a soft crash
All I want to do is just dance and dance and dance

Enjoy yourself! Someone mentioned driving too fast, I would watch that. Watch the money too. I am in debt now after I ended up in the hospital last year, so now I have to dig myself out again.

I pray for your safe landing, in the meantime dance! At least you'll be getting a good workout!
