Does anyone suddenly feel happy sometimes?? Can you relate?

[eepymumu8]

I literally have days where I suddenly feel happy for no reason. There's no particular accomplishment or event.

Everything suddenly feels fun, and I become quite impulsive. I end up making unnecessary purchases and get so excited that I do SH. (Cutting, sometimes I'll suddenly stab myself with scissors or deliberately bump into furniture...)
So excited that I can't sit still. I keep pacing around the room repeatedly or impulsively decide to go out. I might go have dessert, watch a movie, or do something else.

What's strange is that I was diagnosed with depression a few years ago... and it's true that I usually feel lethargic. But sometimes I have these bursts of happiness. Do you think my depression is getting better? I'm feeling quite confused because I've been so energetic since this morning.

Yeah, seeing it written down like this, it really does seem weird what the hell

First off...profile pic is the best!!! Basil is my boi. :3

Secondly, I would say I feel that to some degree, too. Although, I never sh while I feel happy, so maybe that's odd from my perspective. Also, I was taught to be frugal, so impulse buying never really was something I struggled with, but I do get that feeling of just utter giddiness. It feels great! Tbh, kinda feeling that rn!

But it's not that often. And I would say it really isn't that strong where I can't suppress it. Like, I feel it for sure, but like I also know I shouldn't go around acting like a different person so I just hold it in I guess? Except for on the internet. If I'm happy, I'm a-happy. :3

I'm sure other people will have better answers than mine, lol. TOT

Basil is so cute

Right? Sometimes I feel so happy it's like I'm not myself... I was just curious if anyone else feels the same way.

is it joy or mania?

look into it. according to google, experiencing an elevated mood or an exaggerated sense of well-being can be sign of a manic episode.

This sounds like mania

I'm not sure. I looked it up, and maybe the symptoms seem similar, but I think this needs to last for a few days, or weeks? Sometimes it goes away within a few hours. I don't think this is consistent.

And I think these feelings started only this year, so I'm not certain. So far, I'm still feel good, but.
