bioluminescent Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I know it's childish and self-destructive, but I like being manic. Until I start feeling like my brain is leaking out of my ears and every sensory impression in the universe just keeps bombarding me with stuff even I think is weird. But I like that, almost coked-up sorta enhanced cerebral functioning that accompanies the early stages. Why does it always have to go clusterfuck?

Always Unstable Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.Maybe I'm a bit slow, but I never thought about it in that exact way before. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I agree with you ... I like the hypo/mania until I start to crash, then I regret liking it. Doesn't seem to stop me from liking it each time it happens though.I hope you are doing ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintalto Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Mania sometimes feels okay at the very beginning, before I realise what's going on. When I do catch up to myself though, all my memories of how it felt to be wracked by mixed states and psychosis flood back into my head. Then it's pretty much a mad dash to contact the clinic.I think it became less tempting for me as the years ticked by and I increasingly had more bad experiences with this illness than good ones.

strongvoice1 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Mania feels GREAT to me! Love it! Until the beta blockers I'm popping like Tic Tacs can't keep my heart rate down. Long-term mania is hell on the cardio. And probably the pulmo, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
