Everytime I see my psyologist she asks me if I was manic at all the past week. I'm confused about what manic is? The first time i was told I was in one because I was too happy, but I didn't think so. I thought it was a good thing because I had been extremely depressed previously. That's when I first learned that I had Bipolar and things started to make more sense. The symptoms I had and tend to have is not sleeping and not being able to sit still and I guess being overconfident. When I was in a therapy group most people were talking about manic being when they get really angry and do something bad or thought they were God or on top of the world. I'm just wondering what are your manic episodes like?

" I clean a lot of the time. I clean all day, I clean everryything.
If im out I run. I was out with my boyfriend and I took off across a field. He followed me because he runs faster since I have a bum knee but Thats my manic epi for you. It's annoying. "

" pretty much I am just talking non stop or not talking at all. If someone is near mr I will blab on and on and on. when I am alone I am very closed and slow. I go in and out of hyperness but Everytime I think I am going to actually die. I loose sleep for days in a row and every sigle thing that is in my brain goes wild. I make rediculous connections and tell ppl. Last time I told my friends named faith that I was gay and that i wanted to kill myself I wanted to say anything to get my mind to stop racing. "

" when i get manic, im usually angry.. there are times when i get extremely happy.. but thats kinda rare. i cry from frustration, i have dreams where i beat the shit out of people, and sometimes i wake up punching my pillow or bed. its usually family that puts me in a manic mood..
its annoying because i have to control myself, and im sick of it.. like, id like to express my feelings, but it would turn out bad.. so i usually stay quiet. "
