I think the delusional part is a good line

Mania?
When you start cleaning your house in the middle of the night..and I mean ,Like doing the dishes..ALL your laundry..mopping floors rehanging drapes calling all your friends to remind them of an upcoming event(6 months in the future)..oh,and doing this all at the same time..
Delusional,would be thinking you were Queen of the Universe who was the only person capable of doing all these things...IN HIGH HEELS.

I am not delusional yet.....Sightly euphoric definitely......enough energy to clean the house in the middle of the night.....No.

Euphoria is good..have a good time with it..beepers are allowed to feel good too!
:)

YeeeHAW.....definitely feels good. And to think that music was the trigger.....yay for music!

I hate how this illness makes every fluctuation of mood suspect; no matter how slight. When I'm happy I wonder if I'm too happy or if I'm sad I wonder if I'm depressed. Shenanigans I say...

Contrite!!!! I love your answer!!!!! Isn't it really crappy, that when we're depressed and refuse to clean anything, don't really shave, don't care how we look, smell, feel, whatever it's depression, but as soon as we do the dishes at 9pm 4 nights in a row on new meds, all of the sudden, you're manic! If this is manic, then I'll keep it. My laundry has never completely been done. I refuse to clean our house because my roommates son is a hellion and a messy ass child....(spills crap everywhere)...but I'm going around, cleaning it up, listening to my ipod. Laaa deee daaaaa!

My (sober) manic is cleaning, talking to myself, and being way silly. dirty jokes. Inappropriate comments.And I get agitated more easily than usual.

It really sucks to have to wonder if we're getting sick when we finally start feeling good. I'm sort of in that spot now. I do have a couple typical indicators of mania however. As long as I'm sleeping well, not writing books, and not blowing up at people I figure I'm probably okay. You might try to identify some typical symptoms of your own mania that would indicate a problem. In the absence of those you may just be blessedly experiencing a really good mood!

I kind of wondered about this the other day and I think sometimes we get so used to either being WAY up or WAY down and then blunt when medicated that if we have a normal "really good" day or so we naturally wonder if it is going to turn into mania.We love the mania but fear the crash so it is something to worry about.
The euphoric mania is cool but the aggitated ,restless one I can do with out.It is a thousand wonders I have not been killed during one of these episodes.I am a force to be wreckened with for sure.LOL

Delusional I am Queen of the World and insist t hat no matter what I do I can not be harmed
Manic I'll tend to just sit up all night, talking to myself if there's noone else to talk to, I'm not a cleaning freak when I'm manic, but I don't sit still, I always HAVE to be doing something

I have always wondered......I think I might have been slightly hypomanic because I did for a while think I was superwoman.
But it has since calmed down and I miss it now. =(

When I get to a point where I have higher energy than what my family is used to observing, Snapparella, and having sleep issues is when I've crossed over from good mood to hypomanic. It makes me mad that my husband is automatically suspicious of mania if I am optimistic or decide to organize something in order to alleviate a stressor. It isn't impossible for me to have a healthy positive mood....it isn't typical, but not impossible.
