Do you take recreational drugs?

I have been diagnosed with ADHD as early as I can remember. I have had behavioral therapy to help control impulses, took mess to help with my hyperactivity. But there is something elsenlingering with it and I don't like it. I have always had problems with sitting still, but sometimes I just get this random burst of energy. A tingling sensation in my body. It just feels like I can do anything. Run a ultra-marathon even. I am quite impulsive when this happens. Like I make stupid risky decisions that could have easily been avoided. Like darting through traffic to cross. Or try to catch unknown snakes and what not. This feeling doesn't last too long maybe just a couple of hours. I feel ok, until I get real irritable at everything. I don't even know why. I start getting ticked off, then I go to feeling hopeless and tired. It is just like a switch flipped in me. Sometimes I feel both of these at the same time. I have to say it is a strange feeling being extremely energetic but tired and hopeless at the same time. I don't know what is wrong with me or if I'm going crazy.


Perhaps manic/depressive cycling of bipolar disorder? seeing a psychiatrist can be helpful to figure this out. good luck. stay out of danger. make a goal not to hurt yourself or other people and don't go against the grain situations. feel a burst of energy? do something you have done before and know it is safe, do not put energy into something new and unknown.

Pepe, Not when everything started happening. I mean I smoked once or twice. It helped.

It is hard to stay safe during the depressive state. During the manic state it is hard to control my impulses. Things that would normally worry me excite me. When I feel a manic state coming on I will usually skip a dosage of an antidepressant. I have been on it for a while, so when I miss it I began to go through withdrawal. That hurts like a toxic female dog. During the manic state I would end up on the floor in pain, puking,and disoriented. Better than almost getting hit by a car for dashing infront of traffic. :D So I mean, not hurting others is not a problem, but I have to hurt myself. :)
