Booze! I start to drink whereas I lay off of it most of the time. I am not a drinker per se. I stay away from it because of all the meds I'm on. I stayed totally alcohol free for nine months until a couple of weeks ago. My pdoc and I recognize that it's the time of year when I start to get hypomanic symptoms.

mine is booze too........ staying up all night drinking and not taking my meds..... the urge to shop and spend money is another.... and obsessing about sex.........

obsessing about sex, staying up alnight. not takin my meds, think about drinking, usually dont, but sure do want to! sometimes i'll give into the urge. oh and cant forget the screaming, racing thoughts!

I do Mad Lists too! LOL Very Manic Krazy incoherent list jags..has landed me in hosp before. Not the only one, huh!

ooooh l had to have a look see with that title lol l know what am l like...

For me my sleep pattern changes when manic l live with 6hrs sleep a night or less l eat a lot less and a lot healthier, l become addicted to things loosing weight, eating well, taking vitamins, looking after my home, sex, my relationship, clothes or shoes so l buy more to feel even higher.

I'm with Lou and Nobody- Lists laid all over the house is a sure sign I am getting hypomanic (when the lists start saying: make a list- that usually means I have crossed the line over to mania...!)
