> 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.

> JodieToday was one of my manic days, not physically, no no thats too much for me, but mentally, yes today was manic! Last night an old school friend phoned me. Itwas so nice to hear from her. I decided that i must try and track down my long lost school friends. I even had a dream about school last night! So I have been on the net all day today, must be like fifty or more sites I have tried, then I suddenly realised after no success and hours of trying (at this point I have square eyes!) that I never really got on very well with the people Im looking for anyway! Im feeling rather foolish :-) Im used to this feeling. I usually shop on websites when im manic, buy expensive useless things, have run out of money now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
