Hi im off to see my doctor next week,but just wanted to explain my story and see if anyone recognises some of these things.I worked on the cruise ships for 3 years,on my last ship i was drinking every day for 6 weeks and started getting hypermania i think,very talkative,on top of the world,didnt need much sleep,it was a strange feeling looking back,thought i was really funny etc,anyway after about 3 weeks of mania i got drunk one afternoon and went to work that night and lost my job.Didnt really care as i was so naturly high,thought i could do whatever i wanted etc,on my way home from losing my job i went to a church as i was having burning hands sensations,thought i might have magical healing abilitys,went to a few churches talking to priests about my new special powers etc.i did have burning hands as i put them on my mums shoulders and she said they were to hot etc.Anyway after about six weeks,i was back to normal its been 8 months and i feel fine dont get depressed or self harm or anything,but looking back on it i was quite out of it for a while.Also 5 years ago i started gambling,ended up stealing £2000 pound and gambling it all away,moved to a new city and started afresh.I think that might of been me being manic as well,so 2 episodes of being manic in 5 years,but no depression or suicidal thoughts,has anyone else experienced similar things happen?Can you be bipolar without deep depresion? Thanks for your time,take care.
