Manic outbursts

Post Reply New Topic

I'm dancing to loud dance remixes on YouTube and am tempted to go out and get drunk... and then who knows what.

In my town I'm a well known street drunk. A couple of weeks ago I sang opera songs as I walked past people eating outside restaurants.

I can go days without a drink but when I feel mania I feel like connecting with others. Unlike during my normal mental state I feel more of a desire to interact with others.

Does anyone else get these manic impulses?

One night I dressed up in a suit and pretended to be Dr Phil for the evening. I was chatting up a table of women in a bar for an hour and they loved it but then it got stale. Later I sometimes think to myself, what on earth was I thinking? But the feeling of mania grips me.

Yes somewhat. Although I don't drink so much anymore I still get the urge to get with people and get my drink on. I recall walking through downtown and repeating the phrase over and over "Wake up with the King!". I do have a tendency to say rude things to people though for example adding the word "b***h" to the end of sentences. In this case de-escalation skills are useful. On a side note, in straight bars I am too gay and gay bars too straight but I just do the best I can.
