i struggl with the dx of bp because i don get manic. i spose at a push you could say i get hypomanic. i dont get delusoins or owt, its hard to say how i get cos i think its normal at the time. stuff like:

buying loads of new pets all within a week or two, sometimes without having got cages in advance, not having planned it out at all.

deciding to set up a business, spending hours researching it, then giving up on the idea after about 2 days.

doign all the housework non-stop in one day, then not being able to manage anything for a week.

talking fast and excitable, laughing a lot, bouncing around, clapping in excitement, feeling sort of like my heads full of champagne bubbles.

in the past, unwise personal - erm - activity.

phoning friends late at night to tell them some exciting news (which really could have waited till morning and wasnt that exciting anyway).

talking, talking, talking to everyone and anyone, being really really bubbly and effervescent, being a bit obtuse about boundaries and social convention by being too open, or too OTT, or thinking any new acquaintance is the best friend EVER even tho i have knwn them for 2 minutes.

is this normal, or does it sound a bit odd to you?
