I like to dance like a four-year old when I am hypomanic

I like to run around the house saying things like "ROCKSTAR!" or "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Also, I like to drum on the dressers with my hands. At the time, it's not so funny but looking back at that, I find it funny.

I asked a security guard once if it was OK to fart. This was right before I was 51-50d.

"Just doin' the butt!" I would dance around like a dork at the hospital.

I thought animals were trying to tell me things.

Scary yes, but funny after all is said and done.

um mental illness it's self is not funny but watching me have it is.

I do things all the time and I"m so unaware of it until I go in public and realize people are looking at me like I'm a freak.

I embarrass the hell out of my kids every time we go into public. Why? Because there is no filter on my mouth. Thought goes in head comes straight out the mouth.

And I talk to myself in public too.

My expressions are like a cartoon, and I'm like a cartoon.

I hope that sums it up. But yeah I under stand that rock star thing I do shit like that too. I dance around all the time even though I suck at it, and I'm always doing things and have no awareness that I'm doing them until some one points it out to me.

I don't laugh nearly as much as I should. BUT, I make attempts at cracking jokes at the expense of my illness. Saying things like "don't listen to me though....I'm just crazy." BP is not funny, not in the least. However, having BP makes it difficult for our normie friends and family to know how to take us sometimes. I try to express humor at my own expense to make other people a little less uncomfortable.

I'm sure I do plenty of strange and quirky things....but that's just me and I can't really tell if it's funny or not.

Yes well I just can't stop acting like tom green as a normal personality flaw for me.

It makes hanging around me fun but only if you don't embarrass easily or feel shame.

Thank you for your replies. I am glad I am not the only one who thinks things associated with bipolar can be funny.

Like, what person who has bipolar doesn't like the mania, even a little bit? Sometimes, I wish I could just be manic for ten minutes, behind closed doors.

Gosh, that reminds me of the time I ran down a hospital hallway naked. Very sad at the time but I have to have a sense of humor about it now or it will just kill me forever. I feel sorry for the people who had to deal with me. I just wouldn't get into my hospital gown for some reason.

I have to find humor in it :) If I did not I would go crazy (uh well never mind I am already there LOL). Anyway I tell really bad mental jokes and some people laugh others get offended but I realize life goes on and I try not to take it to seriously.

Well, I used to think it was funny when I'd try to change the TV channel with the phone.
Or try to make a call on my TV remote.
But now that it's happened hundreds of time, it's lost all humor.

However, on the bright side, the other day I did something new!!!
I tried to click on a link on the computer monitor screen by aiming the TV remote at it and pressing 'Enter'!!!!

I wish I could have seen the look on the security guards face lesluck haha... . yes I find humour in it at times to....you have to laugh at yourself sometimes.. I think it's healthy not to always be serious... Laughter is good for the soul..x

Every day- If I don't then how dull am I?

Humor is essential

I agree with bbipolar - you have to find humor in things to keep sane

I don't find humor in my illness because it's alway's a negative experience.
But my family find's it funny when I fall all over myself and everyone else when I take my med's!

Oh yes the rest of world thinks it a joke

Ya i have also from time to time.....for the longest time when i would meet new people i would tell them that im not just a Bi-ped...but im also Bi-polar...so i was a 4x4!!! LOL!!...but that was mostly in hospitals...or in therapy groups...dare i say these things in public???
