For the longest me and my pdoc though I was add. So i was taking ritilin. I worked wonders until i went manic. started absuing ritilin and benzos.

During this time i though i was on top of the world. But in hindsight it was the point where i started ruining my life properly. I was rude to people and lost many of my friends. Whats worst is I was on so many benzos I dont even remember it.

The worst thing ever was. I took a joke bet seriously and posted a nude picture of my self on my facebook for 10 minutes. After coming to my senses I was horrified at what I had done. I though My life was over and seriously contemplated suicide.

Any ways I have since seen on quitipine, lamictale and differnt ADs and at this point I am ok enough to "joke " about it.

So what is the worst thing you guys did in a manic episode. I know you guys have some awesome stories.

Not disclosing. But bad.

In my early 20s I had a really, really bad manic episode. I didn't know that's what it was at the time, but in retrospect that's definitely what it was. During this period it wasn't just one horrible thing I did, but numerous ones. It was really, really bad. I slept with a guitar tech for a band I went to see in the disgusting stroke of a seedy metal club so I could meet the band...went on a spending spree and spent the money for my mortgage and ended up losi my house...yeah...it was bad.

I became obsessed with a coworker and stalked him because I thought we had a divine spiritual connection.

I can relate to this so much! An old pdoc put me on stimulants to curb my binging/purging behavior even though im under weight. I quickly started abusing them and would take them every day to get through the long work hours. The abuse left me with crippling depression and severe mood swings. I lost that job! I stopped "playing" with stims and gave up my script about 3 months ago and I'm getting better now.

As far as the worst things I've done..oh boy! Cheating, partying, drinking while driving. You name it, I've probably done it! And now I'm so ashamed.

I'm not bipolar, but unipolar depressed. I had a manic thingy - it was too short to even call it an episode - once of about 4 hours. I couldn't sit still, I walked so fast I bumped into everything and tripped over my own feet, and I really abused the piano.. which I guess also abused my parents' ears. My mum called the on-call pdoc who prescribed me some strong sleeping aids and my mum gave me the choice: either I'd take them or she'd stay up with me all night. I took them and when I woke the next morning I was mostly back to normal.

I'm not even gonna chime in on this one....

I plead the 5th.

I slept with someone I had just met at a pub in the back of a taxi with the taxi driver & this particular guys mate in the front seat. Alcohol was involved but it was during an extended hypo.

[Wanderlust90]

Drink driving too, lucky enough not to have hurt myself or others but did lose a car in the process

How's about spending $74,000 in one week?

Sex isn't so bad

[LadyShadow]

Sex, drunk driving, talking to the stars and the universe, cursing out cops, threatening people, wandering around a new neighborhood in my nightgown.... this list goes on and on.... mania is crazy!

[raspberrytorte]

It's too embarassing. lol.

Haha Reminds me of the time I drove around stopping people and asking for there ID cards. I was pretending to be a member of my countries Intelligence agency and trying to scare people. Drugs involved (own mania, A lot of benzos, Ritalin, more benzos)

[BipolarMama31]

Slept around. Got in debt. Left my kids and husband for days at a time. Didnt show up to work.

Mania is fun! Until the consequences set in... then its not fun and its just destructive.

Destroyed my apartment.

My girlfriend called the police this time because I destroyed my house (broken windows, paint everywhere, thrown chairs) and ran outside into the woods naked. It was below 0C at the time too, and I did have to get treated for hypothermia.

not worst but most embarrassing: Slept with a guy that truly looked like an alien.

During my Ritalin days, I was in class and one of my friends at the time said something I don't even remember now. I started laughing and the laughing turned into crying. Everyone around me didn't know whether I was actually laughing or crying. Neither did I!

I pace around the house for hours on end, coming up with various scenarios in my life and how to come out heroically. It's to the point where I lose track of time. I start maybe around 1 p.m. (while I'm still unemployed), and before I know it, it's five hours later. This has gone on since high school and now I'm a college graduate.

This may be TMI, but I lost my virginity to my coworker's ex-boyfriend (with her permission) -- can't even remember his name now. Also had many other sexual escapades, which led me to obsessively think I had AIDS for months thereafter, despite getting tested. Now I want nothing to do with sex despite still wanting it if that makes sense. I just don't like the obsessive thoughts afterwards.

Recently, I did many stupid things. I constantly manipulated a close friend of mine. I was willing to convert to a strict religion for no real reason. The crazy thing is that it feels like it never happened. Almost surreal. I have a hard time recalling any interaction I've had with people. I've burned bridges and now I only have three contacts in my phone (my parents and psychiatrist). I have no problem meeting friends, but keeping them? That's a whole different story. It's like I intentionally make friends and push their buttons until they disconnect from me, and when they do, I feel a weird sense of accomplishment and start anew. Almost like a clean slate.

There's a lot more but too much to get into at the moment lol.

Well, in some of my episodes, I was overly promiscuos. Once, I beat up a two year old I was babysitting. That was the worst thing. (I've also wracked up debt over and over)

Wow. Thank you for sharing. Hope all is well now!

I'm sorry, but I burst out laughing on this one. I was not expecting that. I also had sex with an alien-looking guy. The worst. Total regret.
