Like my brain buzzes in a good way and I feel powerful. Like I can get away with anything and I am so pretty I get a free get out of jail card all because of my looks and personality. I feel kinda slutty in a good way too like my body is something that needs to be looked at and falling in love with me is the easiest thing ever

Was there a specific point where you realized this was different from just feeling really confident or having a really good day? And what does it feel like now that you’re out of it? I don’t mean to pry, I’m genuinely just really curious

Well considering it usually followed with me doing something stupid (crashed my parents car) or spending my savings on things I don’t need. I think the main difference is when I feel confident I kinda feel remorse if I do something impulsive compared to when I get manic. Honestly I thought it was a normal thing until my friends did an intervention and made me call my therapist to discuss it.

That actually makes a lot of sense, especially if it felt normal to you from the inside. What’s coming out of it like though? Is there a noticeable crash where you suddenly look back at everything differently?

It can also be different bc I can also be really impatient and pissy sometimes or really anxious but the brain buzzing kinda feels like asmr but like my whole head for like 5 minutes versus when I am just confident I just like myself. There is a difference between my confidence and my hypomania bc in hypomania I start shitting on other people

I guess the most eye opening thing was when I got diagnosed with adhd and I was put on an snri and it lowkey put me into psychosis. My best friend was on it too and she has adhd and she had a completely different reaction where it just made her sad, but it made me anxious and more impulsive and angry. I actually started to conspire that everyone hated me and that the government was watching me and I was doing something illegal I wasn’t actually doing
