I've just noticed that allot of peole on here exert allot of angry manic episodes. I myself do on occasion but normally most of my Manic states are primarily Euphoric. I like to call them power trips simply because thats how i'm feeling when I have one. I feel powerful. Where I can be anything I wanna be and do anything I wanna do and It will be awesome! and my life will be great! I usually start raving about insane ideas that "normal" people see as just plain crazy...An example would be like the other day I was in a manic euphoric state and it was one that lasted quite a long time. I decided it would be a good idea to live a life where I didnt consume anything, I made rules to my new life and decided that I could only purchase my absoulte necessities over the next year, I wasnt allowed to have sex and anything I did consume, any packaging it came in I had to turn into a work of art. I decided that I WOUlD not recycle as it was lame and that I would REUSE everything and never throw anything away. I guess I decided i was a hippie? cuz i even went as far as to dread my hair.. I decided that I was a better person and that I was awesome and that by doing this whole thing I would somehow be solving my problems?..how i do not know but i believed it and was convinced at the time. After that I went into a state of depression for a good 2 days. does anyone else have insane episodes like that? or am i just really insanely weird?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I get really euphoric. Except this one time, i was fixing up my speech for class, and some of the things the teacher put down didn't make sense, (Like ending a quote early, and then making grammar corrections to the second half of the quote, and removing info I really liked) I love this teacher, but I kept slamming down my paper, and screaming swears at the teacher, and like beating the crap out of my laptop, then bursting into tears. I thought I was having a depressed episode, but then I remembered manic episodes can mean anger and irritation, but I've never had an angry manic episode. I think it was a mixed episode anyway...
You're not weird. The same thing happens to me in my manic episodes, I start dreaming up these insane plans, but usually its to start a project, like a huge peition against disection in my school, and when the manic episode passes, I'm just like wow that was dumb.
