20. Restlessness

Source: https://markstengler.com

Bipolar patients going through manic episodes feel a restlessness inside them that they cannot control. For them, the more they try to contain it, the more it wants to be released. Many describe the feeling as similar to having too much coffee. What makes it different is that, unlike coffee highs which go away when you sweat, bipolar restlessness remains constant. This fuels the need for patients to “burn it off” by engaging in dangerous behavior and other means that they believe will get rid of it.
