Every few months or so I seem to get a very speedy sensation that can last a few weeks. I can't sleep very well and wake up early feeling like I'm buzzing (but not in a good way), I completely lose my appetite (good for weight loss but I'd rather feel normal) and my brain seems to going at a million miles a second, I talk fast, think fast, have very poor concentration and patience.
I have done speed once as a teenager a long long time ago and this feels similar but without the high... I just feel like my brain is on fast forward and with the lack of sleep it soon begins to really annoy me.
Does anyone have similar experience or know what this can be? I was thinking maybe some form of bipolar but I don't really get lows. It seems to happen a few times a year, I'm fine inbetween. It's annoying more than anything really serious. I don't really want to take medication for something which doesn't last that long and don't really want to go to the doctor, but just interested if anyone has had similar or knows what it could be.
