I'm BP II and haven't gone full blown manic and I hope I don't, But my hypomanic symptoms generally are talking way out of character, singing to people (Yep) and irritability and anger. Since I've been on my meds, these have been way fewer and far betweener and less dramatic.
thanx for ur experience hun i find i cry a bit then im hype again, i think my ganja controles my mania tho n i cant quit cuz i get bad anxiety and get really hyper to the point where i cant sleep and get rappid thaughts tbh im scared of what my mental state will be without it
My manic symptoms tend to be; talking more and nonstop and rambling on. Not keeping to one topic when talking. Bouncing around and not being able to sit still. Acting very excited and laughing at everything. Spending lots of money if I have any. Bring very reckless when at work or driving. Getting angry easily when things don't go my way.
If I get manic when I'm on no medication for long enough I hear things sometimes and get kind of paranoid. I've also noticed that a few times when I was manic there were like one minute periods where I would suddenly be crying but snap out of it and back into mania right away. No idea what's up with that.
As for your pot issue, can't help you there cause i quit cold turkey with little problem.
