***WARNING** I’m showing a graphic video here that is sexual in nature to make a point about hyper sexual mania. Please think before you click if you’re not into this kind of music.
It’s never easy to find a visual representation of what mania feels like. It’s often so out of control and so internal, that an outward expression is usually too tame to show what happens.
I love the song Turn Down for What by DJ Snake and Lil John. It has a good beat. I give it a 9 out of ten. HA!
Dance music (EDM) is the music that comes the closest to describing what I hear in my head and feel in my body when I’m really euphoric. The video below actually shows it. Hyper sexuality ruins so many relationships. I do see the humor in this video and don’t feel they are trying to depict mania, but they have done just that!
Just like in the end of this vide, we don’t survive these massive episodes without casualties. We will alway fuel them with drinking, drugs and staying up as late as possible. I got myself into the most dangerous situations you can imagine- all over the world- due to this mania. I can say that my life is not as exciting now, but I also know that mania will never get me killed.
Please, please, please take full blown mania seriously. It ruins us. It ruins our relationships. It gives us STDs and even though there is no better feeling in the world when it’s happening, it NEVER ENDS WELL.
