In reply to How to tell when today is going to be manic, posted by Tony P on February 16, 2003, at 14:55:32
I like your post. It all sounds like me when I am manic. Some say if you're manic, you don't realize it, only other people around you do. I do realize it. I get this "aura" before, and almost know when its going to happen. I'm aware of the mania the entire time. I just can't control it, and don't feel the need to at the time. After it is all over with and I'm exhausted, I realize that I had made a fool of myself in front of people, and made horrible decisions on an impulse. I realize, I had grandiose feelings, and thoughts, and that I was much more talkative and flirty. I'll tend to wear something a little more provocative than usual, and feel like a supermodel.
Like I said though, I know when I'm manic, or going to be.
Oh, but now my new pdoc tells me that I'm not bipolar, I have ADD, I have both, I'm sure of it!!!
Is today one of your manic days??
