Is there a technical (or not-so-technical) term for this?

[Narnian_Princess]

When one all of a sudden becomes inordinately witty and/or talkative, starts behaving sillilly (is that a word?) out of character, and thinks that ordinarily eyebrow raise-worthy things are extraordinarily hilarious? Said person also feels wide awake, as though said person would not be able to sleep for hours. I call it being "mentally hyper", but is it just an extreme version of the "tired sillies"?

Just so you know, I am "mentally hyper" at the moment. Any remedies? My family would thank you...

Sleep deprivation.

GO TO BED!!!!!

Drunk?

Drunk?

Hehe, no. Never have been, never will be.

sounds manic to me. If you are enjoying it and it doesn't follow a depression then don't worry about it. BUT if you are noticing mood swings then you should see a doc.

Good luck!

Well, it generally happens very rarely, always after a good day (good= me not getting yelled at too much ), and at night. I guess I should take the advice of DAISY DUCK FAN! and go to bed... but I'm not tired yet!

Possibly Bipolar I?

Bipolar I - Although depressive episodes are not necessary for a diagnosis, most patients tend to experience them anyway. Essentially, all that is required is an episode or multiple episodes of mania or mixed episodes.

Probably not though; if you were ill, chances are you or somebody you know would have spotted it.

My guess is a gentle mood cycle that peaks in these gentle manic states.

Treasure it

Drunk. Or high.

Neither. Never have been, never will be. I'm weird that way.

EDIT: I may be high on life; had a really happy day today in which I finally did everything right.

Sounds like "Love" to me!

Okay, now I'm starting to get sleepy... DAISY DUCK FAN! was spot-on, I think, especially given the schedule I have been keeping over this break...

Sounds like you're "slap happy" - that's what I've always called it.

I get that way a good bit. When I haven't had enough sleep in awhile I eventually get to a point where I *should* be tired, but I'm wide awake and everything's hilarious.
ANd then I crash.

Ah-hah! That sounds exactly like it! Woot! Someone understands that I don't have to be under the influence, sheesh!

Okay, calming down now. Maybe...
