Advice please...?

[existential crisis]

Hey guys - I'm having a rubbish couple of days and was wondering if anyone could offer me any advice/reassurance! The old obssesions about being a manic depressive are plaguing me again. [Sigh...]
I've been feeling a bit mentally confused lately...I'm mixing my words up, stuttering when I speak, forgetting what I was saying halfway through a conversation, easily distracted, my mind is always wandering (on to what I don't know)...other troublesome symptoms are: talking to myself a hell of a lot (!) and pacing around my flat like that mad bear on the advert. Of course, this coupled with the fact that I like to talk a lot and my racing mind means I definately have hypomania/mania. [:I] I'm generally in a world of my own most of the time! Had to get this off my chest...Thanks for listening, I'm not strange - honestly. Clare. xxx

When you are Bipolar, you dont know it, you think you are totally normal. Mine is under control, havent had a manic or depressive episode since last year, its the anxiety I get bad. The worst thing about being manic was having to swallow 200mg of quetiapine and passing out for 4 - 5 hours, plus being so drugged up you get people in the street thinking you are on heroin. To tell the truth, I would be manic any day instead of this anxiety
