hi. im up all night. more than 24 hours and less than 48 hours awake. been thinking if i should get into culinary school. i am researching and watchign tips on how to build a bakery on youtube. listening to funny djs on the radio. thats what i did last night. i didnt sleep i think. im not sure if i had 2 hours of sleep maybe 1. 9am we went to the wet market to buy veggies meat and fish. when i got home, i rested, surfed the net. then suddenly i got excited of the thought of baking a cake and bread.so i decided that id go to the mall and buy ingredients. . i know i should concentrate on one.( either the bread or the cake) but id love to do two. its like im excited and in a wishful state. my dad said ur mood is different. so i realize that its like im manic. so i decided just to bake the bread and not to get too much excited and be realistic. so i went to the grocery, ate at a fast food after. Went home then made the bread. i only mixed the ingredients. this was around 6pm. I prepared the dough. i didnt baked it because my dad said this bread should be eaten hot in the morning. i was aware of that but im half excited and half reasonable. because tom will be a busy day and the kitchen helper will not be able to help me or assist me bake. so i decided to bake it at night. Then when we are done with the dough, we joked each oteher and started dancing. With no sleep and all day working, I am not tired, I mean i dont feel it. I am not totally high but i feel like i can still hang around and do stuff maybe even watch gossip girl. I dont feel tired.
Can you relate to this? I am not sure if i am manic or bipolar. I have depression by the way.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...

That sound like hypomania. l have been experiencing similar things lately since I broke up with my boyfriend what with the staying up for days on end, bursts of creativity and endless desire to communicate.
The best thing I have found to do when I am in this state is stay home as much as possible, devote the manic energy to creative projects where it can actually be productive, and weather the storm until it passes.
Also, don't expose yourself to situations where you'll have to spend money. Spending is dangerous when manic.
