Am I Experiencing Mania Right Now?!


Question:

Am I Experiencing Mania Right Now?

Right now, I am going through something that has happens with me so frequently... almost nightly. Suddenly, after feeling lethargic and depressed for most of the day, around late night, I start getting this mountain of energy... but at the same time, I get anxious and scared because I feel as if I'm losing my mind. My head becomes slightly lightheaded, but I can't stop pacing the floors because of this energy. Sometimes I have to blast music and play air guitar or something - and I get into this delusion sometime that it's me playing - to release the energy, while still feeling as if I'm losing my mind. When I get like this, I lose almost all of my concentration and procrastinate big time. I have a paper due today and I cannot finish it, because it feels as if my attention span has been taken away since I got into this state about a couple of hours ago. I don't feel REALLY excited... just energetic, anxious, kinda paranoid, no attention, and can't stop pacing. Is this a mania?

Answers:

This looks like hypomania. My wife , who was diagnosed bipolar twenty years ago also gets energetic and talkative during this type of episodes. Get help from human conduct specialist (psychiatrist ) in order to control the condition with pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Don't worry too much .The condition is very common and can be controlled.Good luck.
