During an episode, I decided to live on the streets of Manhattan NY and be a street musician. I played guitar in front of Madison Square Garden for 2 weeks. I lived off the money thrown in my guitar case. I ate pretzels and hot dogs everyday. I made a ton of friends. It was a blast. I took subways back and forth from Manhattan to the Bronx and to Brooklyn. I'm lucky I didn't get hurt.

WeeOne,

Yea, I didn't know I was manic. I wish that I still had the courage to do it now. At the time it seemed perfectly normal and it was, until I returned home to my family , who were really pissed at me for taking off. But there is a whole community of street people at Madison Square Garden. The musicians, the vendors, the homeless...

Done a lot of bizarre things when manic, can remember clearly doing them but never what made me do them - except for when I found the Golf Balls and turned my back garden into a Crazy Golf Course !

Quit my job, moved to another town.Rented a place with two girls and a friend. Two days later sent them back. Totally talked my way into a job after going in to use a bathroom. Partied that night and got totally coked up. Got home, we both packed our stuff up, caught the next ferry. Still no sleep. Hitchhiked to friend's parent's farm. Worked for room and board that summer. This all took place in 5 days.

Found out thats the cause so I...
