do you ever just

Hi @Eden1919

While I don't seem to have these feelings to the intensity that you describe, I have had times of high energy. I try to channel that into a project that I want to work on or do some intense exercise or something like that. There's certainly nothing wrong with putting on music and dancing by yourself. I imagine you feeling disappointed that no one is feeling the same as you but I would just accept that and make the most of the joy you're feeling yourself!

Every now and again I feel really positive and excited - like everything is failing into place and the stars are aligned. It is a really great feeling @Eden1919 but I understand what you mean, it's hard to express it / share it with others when most people probably aren't typically feeling the same way (at least not at the same time as you). Having said that maybe if you feel comfortable sharing it with people you trust it might be contagious (how good would that be if others could feel as good 🙂).

Hey @Eden1919!

Thats great that you are feeling so positive.

There are so many great ways to exert your energy that you can do by yourself (if you find that others are not feeling the same as you are). But please make sure you connect with a psychologist, or a mental health professional to make sure you are getting the right support that way too! ❤️

I also enjoy popping on my headphones and having a good old dance around my home.

If you feel like connecting with the universe (as you mentioned above) then journalling your thoughts and energy out onto paper is a great idea.

Take care,

@hanami @FloatingFeather @amber22 thank you all, yes i have been singing and dancing around my room a lot actually i have been singing so much i am starting to lose my voice a little oops still i am filled with this feeling oh well i just wish i could use all this energy by doing my uni work but it seems to be having the opposite affect lol.

Hello @Eden1919 I'm glad you feel good but I'm worried for you. Your psychologist and support worker were too. Please take care as mania can take a toll. Do you have any strategies planned to help keep safe?

My psychiatrist has given me the option of trying a new mood stabiliser - I hope you're being given options too.

Love and light

heya @Eden1919, wow, it sounds like a really big time for you. It sounds like you're bursting with energy and optimism.

Often when people on the forums express thoughts and feelings like yours it might be because our reality is a little different to those around us. Others might not fully understand what it's like or what's happening.

Like @Dimity asked, do you have anyone that you could share these thoughts and feeling with? I'm a little worried that something might happen to you, and knowing there's something you could do or someone you can reach out to would help me enjoy this big up-time with you!

Take care,

@Dimity @Former-Member I am seeing my psychologist soon or like i think a day or two and then i have my support worker coming again tomorrow or well tonight i guess now lol because it is Wednesday now haha anyway i am seeing people fairly often and idk i mean i think it is fine like it is intense but it is ok.

I'm glad you've got your team backing you @Eden1919. Please take care. Have you had your tribunal meeting yet?

@Dimity No not yet that is tomorrow so hopefully it goes well and they don’t put me on another order.

so great to hear @Eden1919 ❤️ what an amazing team you have around you! Now I really AM feeling so excited then! Maybe I'll also have a dance around the house 😄

Best of luck at the tribunal today!
