Let's be honest, some of us have pulled an all-nighter and likely end up regretting it later. But I can't help it sometimes, because I hate sleep schedules. Yet, if I want to grow, I'll eventually have to readjust to the world's body clock. This article is about my experiences of mania. Restlessness, racing thoughts, unending energy levels, you name it. As unusual as it sounds, I feel like its strengths should be embraced. I'll even go as far as to say that without it, I wouldn't be a web developer. I want people to understand that it's totally okay to not have to follow societal norms. Ideas flow, and sometimes they come at the most awkward times. When I'm in manic mode, everything is stimulating. From the clicky sounds of my mechanical keyboard, to the dance music I'm listening to, it feels like I'm on top of the world. It's an addictive cycle. I might eat the most unhealthy foods too, because I don't have that ability to recognize my needs when I'm manic. Pizza? Burgers? Sign me up, the manic diet is a ravenous one. Self-neglect is my main woe. Criticisms from others hurt a lot more, and I don't know how to deal with rejection when I'm in this phase. But the main part of my mania is that it's a contributive phase. It's something that I would continue to work with until my eyes can no longer hold its eyelids.
