i had extreme mania today. it was peaceful & fun at first. i spent my day being silly & trying to make my girls laugh.

{i work at a residential treatment facility for children & adolescents with behavioral & emotional issues...aka a mental hospital...with girls 12 to 18 years old}.

they looked at me like i was crazy all day & laughed a lot. this made me feel momentarily happy. that's what work should feel like...

but later, the mania started making me feel awful. i couldn't stand to be around myself. chattering, pacing, no attention span. i felt out of control & bored at the same time. strange.

what the hell is this thing?
