LOL Nobody who is in mania thinks it could be that since it feels so good and breaking all the rules is just fine. Sounds like mania to me but you should consult your p-doc. Of course when it all ends in a psychotic mess, we have a new STD and our bank account is overdrawn we can see it. Please take care!

Oh dear

It does sound like you are going through a manic episode. It sounds like what I went through about 4-5 years ago. Talk with your doc and let her/him know about the events that you are experiencing
(I smoke pot on a daily basis & don't see any harm in that) but having sex with a person you were in the mental hospital with is pretty impulsive & can be very dangerous. If you ever need to vent or talk you can message me anytime & I would be glad to help you & give you the insight advice that I have since you sound like you are going through what I went through years ago. I have learned so much & have become stronger & smarter then I was before.

ummm...kisses.....you're being more than somewhat reckless, and that's a major dosage change on the AD. You need to call your Pdoc and try to keep yourself at work or home until you do. No more sex with semi-strangers or peeps from the psychward...or pot...piercings I have no opinion on. And yeah we suck at judging if we're manic when we're .... manic lol.

Decision making ability is about zero for quality when getting manic pretty much kisses, the two go hand in glove. I'll add my voice to those wishing you to take care.

Kisses I can only second the motion here seems like mania has come to town please check in with your pdoc and tdoc to head this off before any more damage is done. Although you may dislike it you need to hold onto your job! Call today!

I have a one I lovk with my pdoc today and a seven o’clock with my tdoc. I hate this :(

I know I’m not inciteful when manic. I need some extreme help. Only afterwards do I see what happens and I know when I have to watch when it goes into psychosis
. :( Please take care of you!

So pdoc says since I’m having so much fun he won’t mess with my meds. He just told me to be cautious about sleeping around and to make sure someone in my family always knows where I am. Now I have to tell my tdoc about my recent excapades. I can’t wait to pierce my tongue though !!!

And my tdoc doesn’t think it’s mania, just me having fun. Pdoc says it’s definitely mania. Who do I believe? Lol

Pdoc. However, I too have had this issue in the past. I trust you if you have a plan as to what to do should things edge towards out of control.

What does that look like to you?
What's the trigger?
What's the remedy should the fun get ramped up to another level?

Being able to decide these things before mania gets going is important...

Kisses it is mania or hypomania at at the least. Rarely, and only when a person is so depressed and suicidal you have to remind them to breathe would a Pdoc quadruple an Anti-Depressant, that is insane. If he won't lower it and thinks your Mania is so fun and charming, he's useless. You need to widdle down on the Anti-D dose., 5 mgs or so a day over a period of several weeks. Tell your Pdoc you want that Anti-D dose lowered before you do something really stupid or dangerous and get hurt, in the hospital or put in jail.

kisses you have great advice here... I read an online magazine bp hope.com it offers great advice on bipolar mania and its pitfalls ... take care of yourself ((hugs)) polar

My thoughts triggered to a BP therapy group I attended at the VA. The focus of the group was in the ways that Bipolar patients trigger one another and ways to turn that trigger effect toward healing and symptom management rather than inspiring one another to greater heights of explosive potential. I am paraphrasing badly and I am clueless if it applies here, but just thought I'd share.

Is your new friend perchance a fellow beeper?

I also think that if you are experiencing these types of symptoms, it may be best to speak to your doctor. It sounds like you are doing activities which are uncharacteristic for you, and perhaps these are manic symptoms, so maybe an adjustment in your medication may be necessary. You can also let him or her know of your suicidal thoughts, and see what he or see suggests. Good luck to you!
