 hi.

a few years ago i had a manic episode where i did so many things. i thought i was psychic and that i was going to save the world. i thought everyone cared about me and liked me. i thought i taught myself to do all these crazy things. i would talk to a spider everyday. each day it just got worse. i was in school and i left and went through a bunch of cars stealing everything. i got a credit card and went on a shopping spree where i bought everything. i thought i was going to run away to california and have a great life as a singer. i went to a bunch of stores including mcdonalds where i purchased $1,500 worth of mcdonalds giftcards. i told a bunch of people that the world was ending and i was going to save them because i was psychic. i ran through the woods and took off all my clothes leaving them places convinced that someone would find them and come rescue me. i ran through a swamp and through a bunch of thorn bushes and got cuts all over my body. i ran so far in the woods i ended up miles and miles away running down the street practically naked. i had underwear on thats it. the police caught me and took me to the hospital in an ambulance omg i was so weird. i was convinced that i was making all the lights turn green so that the ambulance could make it to the hospital wicked quick. i talked to so many people during my episode. telling them i was psychic and they were psychic too if they got in touch with their powers and on and on and on..so many crazy things. i ran to peoples houses telling them stories about my powers and shit. for a while i didnt even remember everything i said. i went to the hospital where slowly i got better. my mom would visit me and i would just scream at her and throw shit at her. it wasnt me. it was like a dream. so many people saw me like that. i went back to school and everyone hated me and didnt understand. theres more but i just cant sum up all the weird things i did. i am fucking crazy. does anyone else have a similiar story??

 I used to think I could heal people and talk to God, and I don't mean your normal prayer. I also thought I had super hearing. Once, I went into Providence (near where I used to live) and sat in the street, burning paper towel and watching it. And I have heard of many incidents similar to yours. I know of someone who decided that he had the authority to commandeer any house he wanted and routinely was found sleeping in people's beds. But at the same time, he was a brilliant artist. This illness does weird things to people but not all of it is bad, I guess. It sucks but at the same time, I think it makes people more creative than the average bear.

BTW I don't think you are crazy.

peace, peach

 I've never gone to that extreme before but I have thought that I could do anything that I was invincible. I would over pack my schedule with things and activities. I would try and be in 30 places at once. 10 after school clubs, 9 classes a day(in high school) some online and some at school. Volunteering in like 5 things. I believed that everyone loved me and that nothing could go wrong. That I was this amazing person and that I was in a sense like a god you can say. I thrived on the insanity that was my life. Other people were worried about me but I didn't see it. I kept getting worse the "invincible" complex I had going just continued. Until I crashed.
~“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

~“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.”

 Any health care worker who tells you something so very evil as that you are nuts and there's no help, is a big fat liar and is lazy and mean. Find someone who works for you. Too often shrinks feel like they can treat teens however they want and it's not cool. I agree with your mom.

 I've also claimed to have super hearing (and at times, I still think I do)..I've also gotten extremely angry, and beaten a person just for gritting their teeth in their sleep. (I can't stand high-pitched noises, or gritting teeth, or smacking...I completely forget everything and eventually start crying, or beating the person making the noise...)

Also, a year or more ago, I thought I controlled the weather..Every time there was a hurricane, or thunderstorm, I sat in it, and no one could make me move until it stopped..

I guess we're all a little "crazy" if you think about it, even people who say they have no mental illness...
