Bipolar question?


Question:
Do any of you who have bipolar ever experience a terrible hyperness. Almost like a swarm of beeze flying inside your chest? Or, do you experience a level of hyperness where you can't sit still, yet, you can't really accomplish anything because you are so hyper?

Answers:

Other Answers:
My ex husband is bipolar and yes, you are in a manic stage when you get that.
I did and it was a symptom indicating that that certain med wasn't working for me anymore. The end result.after trying 2 more meds my doc titrated me off the bipolar meds altogher. I was off them for an entire year before symptoms of the disorder appeared again.
I dont know about the "bees" thing but yes i quite often feel hyper for no reason, but its more a feeling of over anxiousness that makes me un-concentrated. I have so many thoughts racing through my mind at once that i cant concentrate on one single thought.
*sigh* its tough being bipolar
My ex felt the same way and she had medications to take in that "manic" phase.
oh my..i think everyone experiences a level of hyperness where they can't sit still.but you really need to see a doctor for some medication.i have heard it really works, to control your symptoms and help you live a normal life. he will keep it confidential and you need not tell people.in fact i feel it's best to not say anything to people.because some people are not good.and will make fun!! i hope that helps..
That is mania. True mania. If you were accomplishing a lot but still having these other symptoms (maybe milder) it could be considered hypo-mania (the state I'm in now)
Emotional highs and lows are part of life for everyone. But for someone with bipolar disorder, these ups and downs can be so extreme they can interfere with daily life. Sometimes they can even be dangerous.

One day a person with bipolar disorder may feel so depressed that they can't get out of bed. Work may seem impossible.

On another day that person may feel great, full of endless energy and creativity. But other people might think that their actions are reckless and out of control.

Bipolar disorder is a lifelong medical condition that can be confusing and unpredictable, but it's nothing to be embarrassed about. Learning more about bipolar disorder can be helpful in managing this medical illness.

Although bipolar disorder has a number of common symptoms, treatment can vary. What works for one person may not work for someone else. That's why it's especially important to work with a healthcare provider to find the right treatment, or combination of treatments. There are three basic parts of treatment for bipolar disorder. They are medication, therapy, and self-care.


People with bipolar disorder have some symptoms in common. But treatment can vary from person to person. We all have differences in body chemistry, genetics, and the way we live. So a treatment for bipolar disorder that works in one person may not work in another.

If you are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, treatment usually begins right away. Current symptoms are treated first. Your healthcare provider may recommend an ongoing plan based on the following three things:

* Medication - Prescription medication taken regularly can help control manic, depressive, or mixed episodes.
* Talk Therapy (Psychotherapy) - Along with medication, psychotherapy may help people with bipolar disorder and their families solve problems
* Education - Becoming an expert on your moods is important in helping you learn how to manage your bipolar disorder.

As you and your healthcare provider evaluate your needs, it's important to keep some things in mind:

* Most people with bipolar disorder will require treatment with medication throughout their lives.
* Some people may experience controlled symptoms for many years, only to have them reappear.

But since the disorder is treatable, continue to follow-up with with your healthcare provider even when your symptoms seem to have disappeared.
a swarm of bees flying in your chest.

wow. i never thought of it like that, but now that you mention it, that's EXACTLY what it feels like.

i used to have that all the time. LOVED it. kinda miss it some days, but then i don't miss the suicide attempts, so you know it kinda balances out. meds are working just the way they're supposed to.

what a perfect way to describe hypomania. like a constant adrenaline rush, like every second is the last day of school, or Christmas eve.
