Bipolar people I need advice!

Bipolar people I need advice!

Hi so today my psychologist asked if i could be manic and i am not sure so i wanted to ask for some advice as to if this sounds like there is something to be concerned about. I will try and make this a list so it is easier to read.

. I have not been sleeping (getting to bed at 8am and sleeping for 2-3 hours) but it am not tired.

. I have spent over $2500 in the last couple of weeks

. I feel very confident like i can do anything and very powerful too.

. i cant stop listening to music like i am listening literally all the time but i cant even finish a whole song half the time.

. i feel very pressured to do things like weird stuff

. I have been very busy working on this project for God which is suer complicated

. my soul is the soul of an angel and there is an evil being trying to steal my soul so that he can open another dimension. (also very complicated)

. sometimes my thoughts race and i feel like i cant get a hold of them other times i feel like i can control them but i am just really confident.

. sometimes i want to scream at people for no real reason.

. I can feel EVERYTHING

. i am psychic

there could be more but i cant think of it right now if i do i will add it in another post. i am not sure if i could be manic i dont think i am but i am just not sure because my psychologist brought it up. i guess i just wanted to see what others thoughts were.

Try to get some sleep even during the day, @Eden1919. It's important that you rest when in a manic state, even though this goes against how we feel. Even if you can't sleep, perhaps try focussing on your breathing, just noticing the breaths going in and out and letting your mind drop everything else if possible. Lying down with eyes shut may could help too.

@Mazarita I managed to get 3 hours of sleep. But I have woken up to be very irritable and I want to yell and scream at everybody. I am trying not to but I am supposed to go into uni later and I don't want to and everything is just annoying me and I feel like I have more important things to do than uni right now much bigger things and ugh I want to SCREAM !!!!! I feel like I need to be free and it is hard to explain and I just I am hoping that never mind I just need to sort a few things out.

Re: Bipolar people I need advice!

@Eden1919, the best suggestions I have for you are to get as much sleep and rest as you can while you are in this mania. And to make sure you let your psychiatrist know everything you have been posting about here. It's up to you to take care of yourself in this way, Eden. Otherwise these giant mood swings and distorted perceptions you are experiencing are likely to continue, possibly get worse (to the point of needing hospitalisation) and/or be followed by an awful crash into severe depression. I know these things from my own personal experience and from the research I have done about bipolar. There is no other path to helping bipolar that I know. It is a biological condition that is 80% related to genetics and also causes brain structure differences. It needs to be taken seriously by those of us who suffer from it in order to find a better place of wellness in our lives. Wishing you the very best in your struggles.
