Instead of worrying about it I just started, and then when I saw what I had done I felt better. No doubt half a Dex would do the same.With me the whole thirty days I never stopped. Constant movement and action. Always saw the next thing to do before I was finished with what I was doing. Total happiness, quick on your feet in conversations, very quick. You smile a lot and are sometimes over-friendly. My endurance knew no bounds, I could do anything I wanted to. Get a drink out of the water hose, get my hair soaked and go back at it. I never thought, well I'm a little tired, just leave this till tomorrow. I was never tired and I was in a magic forest.
And the weirdest thing of all??? You have no clue that you're hypo-manic. I asked my doc how she diagnosed mw, I didn't know.(A lot of emphasis on this) Phil you worked night and day! You used muscles you haven't used in ten years!(9 but who's counting) etc. I said aren't most bipolars really bad about spending? Phil, you lived at Lowes buy schrubs, weedeaters gardening supplies...Phil, it's a rent house!!!
This doc YELLED at me more than once. She needed therapy. But she was a damn good psychiatrist
If you could sell mania by the jar it would outsell every drug combined 10/1. More than that.
I have to move soon and I wish I could just start it on demand.How people treat you is their karma
How you react is yours.
