Top Ten Signs I'm Having a Hypomanic Phase

Post by Hedgie »

10. Skipping through all 6,000 songs on my iPod because I can't find JUST THE RIGHT FUCKING SONG I WANT TO HEAR.
9. I swear more.
8. I need a tire jack to get my back teeth to unclench.
7. 6,000 SONG AND I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING TO LISTEN TO? I need to go to Amazon right now and find something.
6. If you are being the least bit snotty to me, I will pick up on it and it will become the worst thing to ever happen to me because what the fuck is your problem anyway and you wanna go lets go because I am so sick of your shit okay so don't take out all of your issues on me just because you're a miserable person.
5. GOD WHY CAN'T I FIND ANY MUSIC I WANT TO LISTEN TO ON AMAZON?!
4. When I'm at work, I have all the great ideas for what I want to work on when I get home.
3. When I get home, I have all these ideas for what I need to work on at the office.
2. I start to find the little inspirational messages on the wrapper of Dove chocolates insufferably smug and obnoxious. "March to the beat of your own tuba!" Shut up, chocolate and do your job.
1. My piercing insight into everything must be shared with the world in the form of a top ten list.

Awesome list. I'm still trying to figure out what's what in my own weird mood states, so I really appreciate seeing other people's experiences.
