I feel so disappointed with myself.

I think I've had experience with racing thoughts, feeling on top of the world, wanting to talk a lot more, having big plans/ideas, better self-esteem and less sleep. Not had any experience with feeling like I'm 'special' or singled out for a specific purpose, driving dangerously (I don't drive though), spending large amounts of money (but I never usually have very much in the bank ) or having unsafe sex (but I have been more willing to flirt with/kiss people [which I would instigate - never normally the case], and when I was 'up' and had a boyfriend I think my libido was increased, but that could just have been due to not feeling depressed).

So I'd say it doesn't seem as intense as you describe, but there are still some similarities. Yeah, I just thought I'd ask you guys before wasting anyone's time Thanks for this, hope you're doing okay?

This beyond anything else hints to mania IMO - and the rest can fall into hypomania or mania.

oh my god, so tired... i wish there was a sleep improver, can see this running and running if the dreams don't **** off.

May be worth talking to your GP then, just to see what they say. Hopefully it won't be a problem for you, but if it's bothering you, may be worth talking to someone. With the whole libido thing, you could put it down to being less depressed as depression does tend to make you less interested in sex. For me it's more obvious as I'm actually asexual, but not when I'm hypomanic

I'm doing a bit better, mood is all over the place though. How are you doing today?

What's up?

I feel ashamed and scared of myself.

Might be a good idea to head down to A&E? I know you won't want to, but it's better than the voices getting worse and you feeling like you have to hurt someone.

I won't hurt anyone the knives are in the other room but that doesn't stop me being scared. I'm searching google for solutions and yet again coming up with nothing I haven't already tried. Why is the no ****ing way out???

No, it's perfectly understandable that you're scared, it sounds terrifying Can you get in touch with your psychiatrist any time soon? It's really important that you tell them about this, because it could just be that your meds need adjusting again. If you start feeling unsafe please tell your girlfriend (I'm sure she'd rather you told her, even if she seems annoyed or upset)

that must be really scary. I'm sorry that it's happening to you.

Edit (pressed the button by accident...) I know you find it hard to tell your girlfriend, but maybe you don't need her to know exactly what you are being told but just ask her to stay with you for now. Keep the knifes away and just sit with her. From before I seem to remember she is good at calming you down

I think you probably should tell someone if you can. It sounds really scary, but you shouldn't be ashamed, and don't worry about people thinking you're crazy. Your girlfriend loves you, I'm sure, and she would want you to get the help you need. If you can't tell her, maybe try speaking to a doctor, though I know that's terrifying and difficult, and might not seem helpful but I think it's necessary.
