That's me right now lol, I feel great but I've only gotten 12 hours of sleep in 4 days combined 😭 I literally physically can't sleep bro what is this
The last one is same .sometime i didnt understand how someone could be that much happy in snow .my ex wife did same in snow ..
Accurate, i have this when i study too much
I just saw my neighbour Juliet in every inch of you and despite how much she hurts me sometimes Or wrongly thinks about my sexual orientation and subsequently doesn't believe I'd be man enough for her – seeing this video as a reminder of her brought me so much joy .
♑✍️🇳🇴🇭🇲
I have to listen to audio horror stories on YouTube so I can close my eyes and visualise the story and stay away from my own rushing thoughts 👌💭 so I can fall asleep
I don’t have mania but why is the paper cutting literally me lol
For me, I was the messiah. Then paranoia hit, thinking the government wanted to kill me because they found out.
for me mania is extremely unpleasurable, and i get incredibly anxious (combined with paranoid schizophrenia 😃)
Ummmm yeah I have that 😅😅😅
They d9nt allow me to be hypo anymore 😢 they cut ma med
I had a great time on hypomania😢
I get all these with bp2 – I have been extremely Hypomanic today I drove 20 miles to get a Diet Coke from mcds driving like a maniac, just so I cld listen to music full blast, sing along and take corners at fast speeds – let it just be known I have a mcds right across the road from me 😂 I love feeling this good but don’t think I’ll sleep tonight
Is mania just a proper term for getting mad as fuq?
You sort of look like Seven of Nine. ❤
Its sooo sad really😭😭😭 hope you all are ok cause feeling like this cant be a nice feeling😭😭😭😭
That “what?” Took me OUT 😂😂😂
Fruit cakes need sectioning
I have ADHD and autism and I relate to this so much. This is what some say is hypertivity aswell. We can be like big kids just living in the moment following the joy with no care forgetting that some things have consequences. From the outside it looks like someone's hypo or energetic, immature, impulse coz we play and have fun and we're extremely happy in this state. For me I will hyper focus on a subject or topic, or stim or information dump on loved ones. My friend described me as a happy drunk person with out the alcohol 😂😂
title is a bit misleading, everyone's mania is different. This looks really mild honestly and it doesn't show what happens after your body stops releasing the dopamine and serotonin and you crash into a dark depression you think you'll never escape from.
So mine was mania, but I really miss the runners high. I don’t get that anymore.

How does one stay so far so thin on antipsychotic medication?
Yep
i have hypomania and this is EXACTLY what it feels like. Also being very agitated and literally talking to EVERYONE.
The worst part was the talking 😤
lol same. I’ll put money aside for bills and expenses and somehow manage to easily convince myself that I can spend all of that and still be ok. News flash: I am not ok.
BS Schizophrenia propaganda. I’m wondering what the agenda is behind these fake schizo influencers.
Exactly.
100%
sounds and looks happy
Is mania free?
I did not watch this video
However I used to think I had ADHD
And I took the medication plus I liked it! I liked it so much I quit drinking and started concentrating better!
However Covid broke out and I got it! Had head aches for 3 weeks followed by a fever and light cold symptoms and that’s when things got crazy!
Saw a cat changing colors a drone was following me! I jumped on a plane during Covid after a brutal divorce where my wife got nothing!!
Treated things against people I care about! And before that ended up I a hospital where no mind doctor just doctor wrote me up as 51/50. Now after seeking the soft hands of Thai massage ladies and I’ve have since stopped synchronicity! I feel fine!
Lately I’ve been drinking a bit do to lack of concentration! Wish I had some adderal to make life for quick and interesting again! I don’t feel crazy just feel a bit or lot adhd! Think these doctors would help me! No! I will help myself and score things illegally!
After all I have Humanity! It’s better you treat yourself! You’re not crazy it’s just this life! Now when I score my medication as long as it’s not laced? Then I’ve between mental illness as I will be feeling fine again! Whatever you do! Don’t talk to a man or woman that says Psychiatry! Trust me people have pulled their own teeth!
They must have known to do so with medication you can score on the street! Least that’s my advice! You never know? Another virus could come along! Glad I could help all those ladies! Yet I’m not a doctor and not diagnosing under this video! Just speculating what could be going on, on my opinion! Sometimes you get High come up with a conspiracy and you feed it drugs and it can be a lot of fun in my experience! Yet I’m not a Dr not diagnosing anybody in this video!
Just speculating on what could be going on!
All I had to do was turn the SSRI on and off a few times and it was mania. These are very dangerous pills.
Mine is so fun when it does happen but I don't get it as often as I did when I was younger..
I have bipolar and my maniac episodes were pretty deep, intense and long so I would go out and paint the bedroom wash all the cars reseal the driveway. It actually did be pretty good in my life. I attempted to be a professional athlete didn’t come as close as I thought I would, but without being bipolar if there wasn’t a chance, I would even attempt it.
Fr fr
Oh my god I really thought i was getting better but then i saw this and realized i yapped to my friend for more than 3 hours yesterday and did a lot of risky stuff. It did seemed a bit too sudden and intense bc i was really depressed a week ago.
I was involved with a girl back in 2020 and she was having manic episodes. She was all over the place. At one point she ended up in the psyche ward for 11 days.
i can’t get stuff done but I do talk a lot (alone)
why can’t you suppress some of the behaviours … like prancing around in your bikini for example
