I usually just deny having a problem. Everything is caused by everyone else! :) No amnesia.. don't know if this is good or bad.

I forget a lot of things. Didn't know it was called fugue state. This is new to me. I usually get like this if I've had a few to drink.

I feel fatigued after a manic episode. I will usually stay in bed until I make myself get up.

Yes...

I just totally blank out, can't talk can't think...

it's like my mind is moving so fast that nothing else can keep up.

They say it's a safety mechanism when your on stress overload but there is nothing scarier than waking up somewhere many hours later and hundreds of miles away from where you remember.

    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...
