In the Process of Mania
One of the things that I do when I am manic, is I get the urge to be extremely crafty or obsess about things that do not matter. For example, I have been spending 5 hours now stuffing my graduation announcement envelopes, wrapping them individually in purple ribbons; they look great but are utterly ridiculous! Now it is 2:00 in the morning and I have to attempt to get you in the morning and act like a "normal" person, taking care of others in pain. When I get like this, I have no control over my actions and/or when I end up stopping what I am doing. Typically, it is when I am so exhausted that I can any longer go on! I am so tired of my extreme emotional ups and downs...and I know that it will never end!!!
