This saturday is the second women's march I am involved with it and it is ramping up my mania. I see my psychiatrist on thursday.
Does this sort of energy and excitement have effects on you? Like planning for something, or getting excited about something like an upcoming birthday or holiday?

I wish. I am on the depressive side so everything negative pushed me down. Upcoming events do impact my mood.

Sometimes events will amp me up.
Especially concerts. I can be amped up before, during and for a couple of days after. I hope you can attend the march as planned.  WC

Yeah, I am prone to an upswing of some sort (hypomania or mania) when something exciting is about to happen. However, if something exciting is happening and I feel like I'm going to f_ck up, then I start getting panicky, which can lead to depression because I feel like "I can never do anything right since I always ruin things," which of course isn't true, but that's my mindset.
Anyway, hope the march goes well! Never heard of it before. Is it televised? |

I tend to be excited, but the meds tamp it down.
Hope you're able to attend as planned. |

Does excitement have to be manic? Excitement ramps up "normal people." I think it's easy to over-clinicalize things. I hope the march is as well attended as the last one was!

I can get ramped up by external events but it's seperate from my BP. My BP moods are not affected by external events but prolonged stress can be a trigger

Quote:
Same thing happened at last years march, Same thing happened when I was a member of the local Occupy Movement years ago. Occupy led me to my first psychotic episode. My doctor tells a story about an accountant who went manic every tax season. We bipolar"s feel pretty strongly

It is more than excitement. I become obsessive, and ADD like. They busier i get, the more manic.
I am not on any anti-psychotics or anxiety meds.
