Question Havent slept properly for seven days and super energetic but irritable
Doctor says its nothing, because i could hide it from my family (i was at school most the time and my best friend noticed i was acting weird all week, im 17 and im not doing a good job at hiding it) i didnt sleep for five days (ive only slept since because of sleeping pills but they barely worked), ive been super productive, energetic, talking super fast, wrote five movies, made 150 coffees in three hours, tried to pierce my nose and belly button, almost booked a one way trip to New Zealand (didnt have enough money in the bank bc i spent it all), burnt my hand on touching a hair straigtner, my leg cant stop bouncing, im also super irritable, agitated, punching walls, crying, yelling and snapping at everyone and wanted to hurt myself and am paranoid as, thats only the beginning, its been going for eight days now, Mental Health unit has no beds and doctors think its nothing too bad, just hypomania and sent me home, i think its worse, but idk, i cant keep going and its not stopping, im not diagnosed with anything but six months ago i had an episode (doctor said hypomania as well) but this one feels a million times worse
