Sometimes I feel very happy, almost stoned for no particular reason - I just wake up feeling that way. Anyone feel that? I was just diagnosed as BP2. Some days I feel really happy, almost stoned, others I feel irritable and very depressed. Is this common? I don't know enough about this yet. Need help to understand myself, feel very lost.

Not sure I'm following you...

"Stoned" how do you define that...?

With that dx you irritablity is a symptom of being up...of course depresion of being down...very happy could fit with a few of the symptoms of being up...

Since you mention pot...if you have used or are using Cannabis...might I suggest stopping...so you don't end up with an negative consequences...you know police and all that...

Well, I'm bipolar II, but when I get into a 'high' I don't feel stoned at all, I don't even feel happy actually... I've got a lot of energy then, and a endless motivation, but there's a difference with being happy... a couple of months ago I felt real hapiness again, for no reason, just being happy, and then I suddenly realise there's a big difference between the feeling of being happy and being manic. I don't know it's like difficult too explain. When you feel happy like a normal person, there's more a sense of warmth, like there are many small feelings melting into one. When I'm (hypo)manic, it's like one huge block of energy. I think drug users would describe it as the difference between XTC vs lots of speed.

There's also no fuziness involved in the feeling. I then feel my ideas are crystal clear, instead of 'all fuzzy and warm' like with pot.

I read you just got diagnosed, and for me, after diagnosis, the first hard thing too do was accepting that drugs were no good for me. Really, I wondered around on this globe for 4 years after being diagnosed, on drugs. It wasn't a good feeling at all. Before I crashed down with bipolar psychosis, drugs were fun, and let me enjoy the world more. But now, I just makes me go totally unstable and most of the times, afraid.

I also feel that we(as in 'us, freaks' anyone ever feel stoned without pot?) don't need drugs: we're creative and 'funky' enough as we are anyone ever feel stoned without pot?

But that's probably not an answer too your question. Yes, if I read your post, I immediatly think of bipolar. Don't go worrying about that because
1) yes, you're different. Everybody's different. We're just that tiny but more different than the rest. I'm glad that I'm like that.
2) If you take your meds regurarly, you'll be just fine.
3) Worrying never solved anything.

Although I don't know what it's like on pot, my friends, who have tried it, have told me that at times I act "stoned", and when they catch it and tell me I notice that I'm manic. One of my teachers actually asked me if I was high at school. I of course was not and I told her that i was just not felling right on my meds.
I'm BP unspecified and on very few meds, now, but when my friends and teacher noticed I was on a lot more meds. So i have one question... how much meds are you on ouch?

HI,
Yes, I've smoked pot in the past - but the feeling i'm describing was not related to being on pot - just being myself.
I'm on celexa, synthroid, and lamictal right now. Could it be the meds?

I'm finding this moment so hard. I think I was just hypomanic - had so much energy - exercised 4 h. a day and yesterday all my joints were hurting, was aso talking quickly and couldn't stop moving... that's hypomania right?
