Yeah those swings are so disruptive. And to know that just one mind altering agent added to the mix can do this so easily and quickly is disturbing. I drank an energy drink before I played basketball a few hours before work one day. I was waiting tables at the time. While play basketball I definitely noticed feeling different, but because I was moving and exerting energy, I really don't think the full impact of this energy drink was realized. Then I went to work. I could barely function well enough to wait tables. I was definitely manic, much more so than normal. A couple that I was waiting on had to leave because something I was doing upset the wife so much she started crying. I suspect maybe she had some type of mental illness herself and my behavior was triggering a response inside her. My manager asked me later what happened. I told him I just drank an energy drink before playing basketball! Ya know, I don't even think I finished the whole thing.
Anyway, hopefully you figure out ways to keep the periods of feeling normal lasting longer and the periods of feeling unstable brief and fairly painless.
