In reply to Is this ADD? Hypomania? What?, posted by Menomena on November 14, 2004, at 23:58:52
hi there
i wonder how old you are. as you know, the brain is still growing and changing in adolescence, and maybe this is responsible for your symptoms.
can you get an mri scan? it may tell you a bit more about what's going on, if anything is, or reassure you that it's nothing organic. could it just be you were having a series of 'good days?' but i guess you'd know if that was the case. for what it's worth, here's my experience:
in hypomania, which usually follows a 'down' period, i feel time is going faster ('zipping'), everything is brighter, i 'get' things more quickly, and i'm more creative. i smile more, and apparently i'm great to be around. i see some things more clearly (last time, my brain noticed blue tones everywhere, the time before that it was triangles, then red tones, then circles - colours are always more vibrant) i talk faster. i can hardly sit still, feel like i can walk for miles, cant wait for something to happen, and really want to buy things. sound like anything you had?
how many 'episodes' have you had in total?
