...but I have been for depression. Twice. Possibly a third time if these suicidal thoughts of mine progress.

Granted, there was one time that I should've been hospitalized for mania. It was right after I got put on Celexa. Triggered a MASSIVE manic episode. I nearly killed a motorcyclist and laughed about it, shoplifted, drove like am asshole, fought with everyone, ditched school, word saladed all over the place, stayed cooped up in my room writing poetry...you get the hint. I was a dangerous human being. Only reason I wasn't hospitalized was because my parents blamed my medication.

That was the only time I was ever that manic. Every other time, it was hypomania or "controlled" mania (one time, I neglected sleep for an entire week and wrote a book...another time I wrote 40-something chapters of a fanfiction in the span of two weeks). I've never been "dangerous" ever since then. I guess I was just lucky? I don't know.

Anyone else have this experience?
