Mania for me before medication was hell. As soon as I got in my car after work I was in hyperdrive. Listening to same song over and over, promiscuity, debt out of the wahoo, draining my bank account and not paying bills, poor work ethic, delusions they were plotting on me at work etc. Im about 3 weeks into treatment Im starting to feel better. I absolutely have to find a career where my creativity is of use.

Oh my gosh I was just diagnosed with bipolar 2 and I’m in intensive therapy and I’m making leaps and bounds and I’m really extremely exuberant about my live for the first time ever and I was having so much anxiety about being happy and excited for life but after watching this I can let that go and learn to trust my happiness ♥️ thank you so much 🌷

I've not been diagnosed but I think I know what hypomania is. It's the feeling that someone has sewn threads into your cheeks and is pulling them skyward. You are smiling but you don't know why. It's a sinister happiness, like being dragged through a theme park when you all you want to do is die. That's what hypomania means to me.

There was a time when I was in math class and at a table with 2 classmates I really got along with and we were joking around, or another time when I was with my cousins and sister and we were hanging out, during those specific times I was sooo happy for no reason really(we all were just simply talking) even to the point some of them pointed out that i was outgoing than usual. I was laughing uncontrollably for no reason, in my head I was thinking how I wanted those moments to literally freeze forever through magic or anything. then I started to get depressed knowing it won't and after it ended I was more down than usual. Is this mania? or hypomania? or is it just normal?

Thank you for these very informative videos. I have been living with Bipolar 1 disorder since 1991. It's true that there is a fear of being happy. It feels safer to try to stay in the dullest part of a still somewhat functioning cotton twilight. In the past, I've felt like a Roman Candle getting on a kick about something, going 100 mph then crashing and spinning out destroying the successes and having to start back at step one. It's been exhausting, costly and demoralizing. Now, I have a dream

Taurus Felis -- such a shame that you fear happiness, but I'm sure you do so for a good reason. If you have been managing what you describe, since 1991, I'd call that pretty successful. I hope you have many more good years, and that someday you will welcome happiness with no fear. As we age, I think generally many of these terrible highs and lows mellow out to some degree but till that day you are smart to remain on the meds. Wishing you more successes and the best in life...☺

Snabelfaen , that's great that you are so tuned in to that course of how things go..I used to be an "exuberent" person like Robin says, but over last 2 decades, I had so many physical problems involving broken bones and 20 years later, as a result of that, my doctor told me that it takes ALL of my normal exuberance and good moods to just be in a low to normal mood, because of the pain, my brain is robbed of the normal happy moods, & my natural supply in my brain of neurotransmitters, like serotonin-- I need extra, meaning antidepressants to re-supply my brain with the regular everyday happy moods that other people have. It's a fact that pain will just drain your neurotransmitters to stay in a rather normal but depressed mood. Guess I need to go back on them..Would love to feel my regular happy exuberance again as she describes. Kudos to everyone on here who is managing bipolar and any related disorder. I never knew it was so serious until I started watching these videos. My sweet neighbor, beautiful gal , has schizo-affective, and she can't control her moods, won't take her meds. Says they make her sleep all day. She said "I need the kind of meds I used to take when I was in school".. I know she means amphetamines, and I'm worried that is what destroyed her, because she had breaks with reality when she gets hold of those things. She is a talented artist whose work is shown all over and she always wants to paint, and says her psych meds make her feel dull. They must have her on the older meds which are not often scripted anymore. Her life is in and out of hospital with some normal in between till she again goes off her meds, because SHE WANTS THAT CREATIVITY back, which made her a star in the art world. I hate it that she doesn't have all the things that the disorder took from her. She no longer drives, no longer owns an art gallery of her own, etc. I pray for her, like I would anyone struggling with severe mood disorders.

Snabelfaen , Also, I don't get but about 2 hours sleep each night. Sometimes go 48 or more with no sleep, But I don't have any happiness or mania with that, only feel tired all the time and my memory and sense of humor destroyed, but I can't complain when I read about ppl with bipolar. Wish everyone could be happy all the time with no cost to health! 🙄☺
