I’m interested in asking this because I only know one other person with BP and I actually find my hypomanic episodes (BPII) quite interesting when I don’t feel endangered. 

I once had an episode that lasted for several days and I did not sleep much, and my obsession was to create a detailed written plan explaining the most efficient way to take over the world… I also explored the idea of creating a private security firm, compounds and eventually expanding that into a private military and being the leader of my own army. I got way into the weeds, like the words I would use to recruit people and how I would avoid government scrutiny. Where the future soldiers would sleep and how to construct living quarters etc. 

I have absolutely no interest in obtaining military power or the military in general. I think military force is somewhat appalling (depending on context). That’s why it was unique for me. I didn’t share this idea with anyone. 

Tell me your manic obsessions!
