When manic we all feel on top of the world. Optimistic about everything and a (fake) happiness that seems will last forever. During this time is when I journal. I love journaling and writing. I have my own blog all about being bipolar in today’s society. So that keeps me busy. It when I crash and hit the depressive state...I can never pull myself out enough to even write one word. I have lost all interest to write anything and that lasts several days, sometimes more. It sucks because I do t get my blog posts off when I want to or on time. It’s an exhausting state of affairs

I do not have a blog, but I have written some books over the years and my productivity when manic is astounding. I once wrote a 400-page novel in three weeks. While I was in the hospital!

On the other hand, when depressed, I cannot write anything. It is of zero interest. My depressive episodes can be long, so I may go months without writing. It's weird.

A 400 page novel !! That’s awesome. And while in the hospital. I am impressed my friend. It seems when our manic episodes come about we know it’s the time to get things done. It is weird.

Same here. While manic, regardless of its stupidity, every thought I have is profound and must be written down. My writing is so much clearer, more beautiful and just better in general. I can’t write if I am depressed. However, if I am in a mixed state and am feeling depressed while manic, I can produce some very dark yet bewitching material.
