Mania... is this normal? *adult*

So I'm bipolar and I get manic sometimes. Now I've read all the general stuff about mania. But this happens to me and I think it's from mania, but I've never heard of it. I always know you can get way overly sexual while mania, and I've definitely had that. But it seems like I can also be less sexual. Like my mind is racing way too fast to concentrate on doing stuff with my boyfriend. Like I actually can't concentrate on doing sexual type stuff.

I feel bad, cause he just wants to be with me, and I try to do it, but I just want to be doing other stuff, like organizing of all things. Who wants to organize over messing around with their boyfriend??? At first I thought maybe it was my new antidepressant, but it happened when I wasn't on antidepressants. I'm also OCD. So I don't know if that could have anything to do with it. But it's not that I'm depressed, cause I'm really up. I just can't concentrate on it. My mind's racing like crazy and I just want to be organizing/fixing things. Or anything else that's just DOING something.

So has anyone else had this? Or even heard of it? Is there anything you can do about it?

I don't have it nor have I heard of it.

But it makes sense to meand so whilst I can't give you the magic solution I can say that I see where you are coming from.

I'm not like that at all - but then when I'm manic I'm not even able to stop and consider that I might possibly be manic (haha!).

Maybe have a word with your doctor? It sounds like hypomania - struggling to keep attention/concentrate, like how some people can't stop still to read a book/watch a film etc.

Have you tried doing a load of exercise to burn your energy?

Hope that helps

lol daffodil, same here I dont even realise I'm manic until afterwards XD. Though peace I have also been too busy thinking of other things to be able to get on with it. If you are thinking about organising things it may be your OCD as well, a lot of bi-polar people can suffer from OCD, so I would say you are not alone.
