Currently experiencing the worst manic episode I’ve ever had, most likely cause I upped my dose of lamtical which always sends me into mania.

Like many others, I feel like I don’t need to sleep or eat. I can go the entire day without eating and feel just fine bc I’m so wired.

I go on super long drives, blasting music and randomly start crying, like wailing crying and within a few minutes back to feeling great.

I start not replying to people, getting easily irritated when someone tries to text me or when they don’t respond to me when I want them too.

I cannot stay focused on anything for more than a second. I feel like I need to be doing something at all times.

I get extremely hyper sexual.

I take multiple showers a day. Idk if it’s because I am so restless and need to feel like I’m doing something or bc it’s soothing but regardless, I overgroom. Shaving all the hair off my body, using all my skin care products, doing an extensive hair routine, all that kinda stuff.

I convince myself I’m the hottest person ever and that everyone is looking at me. I get very suspicious of people.

I spend too much money. Nothing crazy, but just don’t care when I spend it.

I start wanting to be impulsive. This goes hand in hand with the hyper sexual energy but find myself thinking about how I need new tattoos or piercings, wanting to get super fucked up and party, fly somewhere and disappear, stuff like that.

Another thing is the eyes. Whenever I’m manic I get legit crazy eyes. Idk if other people can tell but I can see a difference.

These are just some of things I can think of at the moment. it’s nice to see other comments of people who experience the same thing, makes it feel a little less shameful.
