Do any of you ever experience this?
    #23737164 - 10/14/16 01:40 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

This feeling/sensation is hard to describe.  I would say that it's similar to the feeling you get when you listen to a really epic heavy metal song, if you are into that kind of music.  It's sort of an uptight feeling, that might be characterized by intense focus, and being "ready-to-go" and do something. 

I experience it a lot, and it makes me really want to flex my muscles and go to the gym or something.  But sometimes if I haven't slept and/or eaten much, I still can't last that long at the gym, so I think it's more of a mental origin than a physical one.

The way I describe it might sound similar to a stimulant drug high - I wouldn't know (haven't really done stimulant drugs).  But does anyone kind of know what I'm talking about?  I wouldn't call it hyper..

I would call it hypomania.
It's good if you can use it to your advantage, e.g. to expend energy and maintain fitness.

Dude, you need to get an inscription to a gym with heavy metal music.

that types of music have suggestions underneath their lyrics...in many cases the message is cool like: What the fuck are you doing, What the fuck do you want your life to become? But its more or less just a mental answer, your body doesnt give a fuck..and mind always want to be perfect, doesnt it? but when you go back to your gym the body if its only working out for the first time or only once a month it will be weak like its normal, only working out regullarly do you get to experience agility and strenght.

I get it ...I have it sometimes..but i guess is only just one association that the mind does, like when you think of oceans and rivers you want to piss! good thread

That's interesting, because I visited a psychiatrist once (and only once) and she hypothesized that I might have hypomania.  It was probably because I had a similar conversation with her that I had in this thread though.  And I've looked up the symptoms for hypomania and a lot of them I don't have.

If anything I feel like this sensation (or whatever you want to call it) might hinder me from being productive.  Sometimes when I'm studying for an exam for example, I will start to get that "rush" and I'll stand up and binge on heavy metal for a few minutes.  So it can distract me sometimes instead of giving me focus.

If a genuine psychiatrist said you have hypomania like traits I would take their words rather seriously.

In this context, it wouldn't make sense to.  For one, like I said, even if she is a "genuine" psychiatrist, she only talked with me for maybe 15-20 minutes.  That was not a formal diagnosis, and she just said she wanted to have more meetings to make it more clear if I did have it or not.  I've moved away from that town since then anyways.  But a professional psychiatrist is not going to have enough information about me to make that diagnosis in such a small period of time anyways.

Secondly, hypomania from what I read is not usually that big of a problem.

Hypomania isn't much of a problem but it's good to be aware of it so that you don't have to question yourself.

Of course I don't know all the details in your case but in my own experience I've had hypomanic symptoms of bipolar 2.

Simply being aware of this has overtime helped me to feel at ease about my perceptual and sensational experiences.

That's interesting to read.  Just to be clear I'm not trying to be in-denial about it.  If I was formally diagnosed with it it wouldn't necessarily bother me, and might even make me feel better about my own potential (since hypomaniacs are supposed to have more energy on less sleep, etc.)  The thing is just that I have read about the symptoms and the vast majority of them I simply do not have.
