my psychiatrist associates those experiences with hypomania

You may point out to him that self actualization and hypomania are different in that hypomania is associated with irritability or recklessness. Conversely a self actualized person is neither of those two things.

if we are defining self-actualize as "to realize fully one's potential" (mirriam webster), can one be in a state of self-actualization all of the time while having to function in this world? some things of this world might cause irritation no matter how deep one's experiences with self-actualization might have been, no? someone who has little or no experience with this state might have better emotional control and balance than someone who is more self-actualized because of other factors... upbringing, genetics, etc. someone brought up in an abusive household with shitty genetics might have less control over his emotions, and no matter how often he can enter states of self-actualization, because his programs run so deep. got to run

I think you're right but whenever the feeling fades, I feel very depressed, like I've been thrown to the other end of the scale. I don't feel any more curiosity, I just feel as if it's pointless trying to 'figure it all out' as whenever I come close, it disappears after a short amount of time. I become so apathetic! What am I doing wrong?!

You're not doing anything wrong. Do some research man, depression is a huge and expected part of awakening.

thanks that means a lot coming from you.

and yes I think I am maturing a bit :tongue2:

so much has happened since I first came here and that combined with this and everyone here has made me a lot more...perceptive?

I dunno. I don't really feel as passionate as I used too about it all, I'm mostly just soaking in information now.

I feel I have a lot more to learn. like a lottt so thats what I've been doing, reading and observing. I am a little embarrassed about some of my earlier posts hehe but I also have surprised myself with some of the things that I wrote looking back on them.

It's a strange thing to grow.

I am currently reading this philosophy book I jacked from the local universities library and its really putting things into perspective.

Basically an introduction to all major and some minor philosophical thought throughout history up to present time.

was quite a steal :grin:
