I’m new to posting on Reddit but having a community for this sounds nice! 

I’ve googled and can’t really find an answer, and just wanted to ask to see if anyone else related before I call my psychiatrist soon for professional guidance! (If this breaks any rules I didn’t understand sorry, please delete if necessary) 

But basically, I have been in an extremely manic episode for the last few weeks and my meds have been adjust to help, just hasn’t kicked in yet. I’ve went days not sleeping (maybe an hour here and there), but I’ve been able to get just a bit more recently. But then it got weird, when I try and sleep I drift off for a bit but awake suddenly thrashing around trying to get the bugs I feel on me off but there’s nothing there. Or I shoot awake and hold my arms out as if I’m holding and looking at my phone, or I’m talking out loud about something. And sometimes it’s too disorienting to tell what happened. 

I just wanted to see if anyone else has ever experienced this or something similar in mania. I’ll be contacting my doctor soon to report this. Thanks for your time!
