Maybe it’s just me but I get caught up on a lot of life stuff when I have crazy mental manic energy phases.
I try to ride that shit out like a boogie board.
Spent so many days down in the dumps on this earth I’m RAGING when my battery is on supercharge. As long as I’m not suicidal with that energy I should be solid right?!
Thoughts from the pros?!
Are you bi-polar? It sounds like it to me although I am no expert. If you are diagnosed with this I presume you are on a mood stabliser. This should even out your moods so you don't get the extreme lows or the highs.
Well the “experts” say I have major depressive disorder /anxiety.
Marijuana is my mood stabilizer.
Well it doesn't seem to be doing a very good job! Lol
dude.........as i think u know- it not..........their life.......it ours............they want us to be ferdinand the bulll ........easy to handle............ya.........and whats a non life like for us
boring as hello...................for me............no big whoopie
Moderation is a key factor in health and centeredness. I get where you're coming from - I used to be highly highly productive during spells of mania. My bipolarism was extreme, so as my mania helped me conquer the world, my lows always brought suicidal thoughts and that was at least once a month for decades. At some point in my 30's - keep in mind at this point there were misdiagnoses and ineffective medications - the mania went off the rails & the suicidal thoughts began leading to attempts. I lost my functionability as my mistreated illness progressed rapidly & I was all over the emotional & poor judgment/risky behavior map. It's better now believe it or not, with much trial and error and finally healthy changes. Believe me, I missed the mania highs like sooo many people do, but they're eventually not healthy or productive so I had to kiss 'em goodbye & stay medication compliant.
I sometimes still get a little manic, but it's not out of control. I hope this helps. Have a lovely day. 🙂
Ugh that scares me I just dropped meds over about a year and it was hard and I’m more reactive for sure but my mind is focused on being aware of that and trying to deflate....thank you so much for sharing it helps me greatly
I never experience mania for very long (maybe a week or two 4-7 times a year) so all the projects I start usually end up getting neglected after I crash back to depression. I dont know what it's like for you but I'll take on projects that I know I wont be able to finish once I crash again and feel bad about disapointing people which usually sets whatever I got done back. Mania is intoxicating but for me at least it's not that useful.
It differs. Sometimes it’s a day or two sometimes it’s weeks where I’m amped up. Summer warmth in the air makes me howl like a werewolf. But I can be dangerous to my psyche in that energy . Weed helps to keep the energy focused on tinkering with things or working out or cleaning 🤦🏻♂️
I often wonder if I could handle it off meds but essentially am scared to do it. This is just my story, yours might be that with your awareness and commitment to healthy coping skills that you are able to regulate and manage your mental, emotional, spiritual conditions. That is a good thing! True to self....
