I think I am wrapping up the 3rd manic / hypomanic episode I've ever had. I just realized this time that's what it is. This one started about a week ago. I've been running on about 2 hours of sleep per night and eating about 900 calories a day. I have felt absolutely euphoric the entire time. I've been doing weird spontaneous stuff like going to a bar late on a weekday night in a sketchy part of the city to watch live music. I've also been playing bass guitar more and generally enjoying music more. I feel absolutely incredible but people have noticed I am not myself. I am feeling more normal today. Should be 100% myself by tomorrow. I've never had a depressive episode, people say that if you are bipolar you get depressed after being manic but I think I won't get depressed. Maybe I'm not bipolar, maybe I'm unipolar lol. Might even be a blessing to occasionally feel euphoric and extroverted for a week or so if I can keep myself under control and not get a spontaneous tattoo or something I will regret.

Anyone here bipolar? Any words of wisdom? Is it wrong that I am having a great time? LOL
