after coming home from holiday 6 months ago i started to feel a bit odd,a bit detached,then i started hearing voices which i thought at the time was my guardian angel,this is all in the space of a few hours........i never slept at all that night and the next day i was high as a kite,things got worse from there although i wasnt aware of it at the time,my behaviour became more eratic,i wasnt sleeping and i became completely psychotic and eventually 3 days later being admitted to a psych ward........while in there i was given the occassional lorazapam but thats all and about a week later i insisted on discharging myself refusing to believe anything was wrong.........anyway my behaviour seemed to just go back to normal fairly quickly although my thoughts were a bit off for a bit..........i have suffered from depression in the past but not for a long time,i have been diagnosed as bipolar,im not on meds but i am aware that this could happen again,is it possible to just have a one off?it is 6 months now and i am just my usual self.........i have no idea what set the hypermania off and it does worry me,i said some horrible things and was totally out of character which im embarassed about but part of me did enjoy the euphoric feeling which i kinda miss,it has really shaken me up and unnerved me,i feel like i dont know myself anymore............can anyone understand? Question
