You sound quite manic. It can be pleasant but it sometimes ends up losing its pleasantness for irritability and anxiety and what have you. Also, there's a reason they say an artist is their own worst critic.
I agree completely with quietgirl. I hope that when, and it is when, you come down that you read what you wrote here. As I read it, and tried to follow it, my first throught was "boy, warrior is manic". Untreated mania and hypomania usually just gets worse and you can get yourself into real trouble. Yes, mania can be fun and addictive, but that is the allure of the dangers of mania.
It's pleasant, yes. Nowhere did I say it is not pleasant. I also didn't mention that I have psychosis, but yes, I have experienced it. However, it's very rare that psychosis is associated with my mania. Also, I didn't state that I associate a social phobia with my mania. It's quite the opposite. I'm a regular social butterfly. Please do actually read posts. I know it's hard when your mind's racing 1,000,000 miles per hour. You're putting words in my mouth, creating a straw man that's not there and therefore easy to beat down. I have bipolar type one, which obviously means I have experienced mania of all sorts and varying length.
I know what it's like to wish for mania to come and be so happy when it's there. I know what it's like to go nights without sleep yet still feel spectacular, like I can do anything. Logic is out the window--true logic, that is. Yes, you can form an argument for anything, but when you look back at it, you can tell it's not truly logical.
(Side note: I'm not sure what you mean by "relevant range of just mania," by the way. I am curious what this means.)
BUT it is DANGEROUS to your health and well-being to have it go on. Stop with the caffeine. Caffeine is not good for someone with bipolar disorder because of this. (Besides, caffeine is only good in small doses for even the healthiest person who does not have a mental illness. It blocks receptors on your body's cells that allow you to relax, so you are unable to relax and fall asleep.)
I urge you to get help.
You are EXTREMELY manic. I can tell by how you write. You are thoroughly convinced this is good, but it is NOT in the long run! It hurts your brain. It is a brain chemical imbalance.
I believe you are right that bipolar disorder is a gift, but it's NOT due to mania. No, it's in that you have a powerful testimony that you get through some hard times. You can use your experiences to be a help to someone else.
Yes, mania feels GREAT, but as I said, brain atrophy does occur over time.
I have seen a psychiatrist and therapist about my psychosis, which is why I don't have it very often at all; I have not had any for years now. I'm not on meds nor have I been for almost three years. I learned how to control it by watching for certain triggers and learning how to best avoid those triggers and/or what to do when I start noticing symptoms.
You are not healthy. Mania only gets worse and worse with each time you have it. It feels great, but as time goes on, it gets to a point of danger that you can't see yourself until after you've come down. Mania ruins peoples lives. I have not experienced this personally, but that is because I was responsible with my health.
Feeling good is not a justification for doing something. Otherwise, criminals of any sort would have a leg in and be able to go unpunished (Not that you're a criminal). Please seek some help. You do not believe you are a danger to yourself, but trust me, you have a brain chemical imbalance that needs to be treated.
You can experience happiness and elation without having to be manic, without risking your health, your future happiness, and your relationships with other people.
I would counter that argument by saying that mania is actually quite pleasant. My definition of mania is much different than yours in that you associate with the unpleasant side effects of psychosis, hallucinations, both auditory and visual, as well as an overall social phobia due to heightened energy levels. I no longer call it mania but rather a normal state of being because I am managing it not with illegal or legal drugs but by a steady dose of caffeine, protein, constant motions, brain stimulation (meditation and in my case God). The problem with the whole concept is that the response never seem to move beyond the spectrum of process models on what most think bipolar means. Bipolar can exists in the relevant range of just mania or just depression. Your way is a one dimensional view of an illness that may be a wonderful gift from god to experience love and compassion on a scale not known to normal people. But I digress, I also encourage you to seek a therapist to counter your psychosis because it isn't my reality that you understand. Thanks be to god for bipolar mania.
Mania is not good. It usually only goes higher and leads to brain atrophy. You definitely sound manic in how you are thinking, and it makes sense to you right now, but mania of any degree is not good. And illegal drugs are illegal for a reason much of the time: they HURT you, leading to permanent brain chemical changes or events in your life that lead to bad things due to addiction. I'd stay as far away as possible from illegal drugs (and prescription drug abuse) if you are venturing into them.
Talk to your therapist and your psychiatrist about ways to get out of this, meds or otherwise.
