Hi
I have had this feeling too. When 'better' I too have gone through doing things at a mad pace. My explanation was like yours- that I am catching up on life and making the most of being ok. I thought nothing of it. However it turned out to be hypomania in my case (after many such episodes)The fact that you say "i live my time at 100 miles a hour its liks an anxierty but not in a bad sence. its an anxierty to do things" makes me wonder if it is hypomania afterall. You need to ask yourself a few things that may make it clearer, like:
-are you functioning at a much higher level than ever before and much more than those around you
-Do you feel you can't keep up as you have so many plans and your thoughts are racing.
-Do you feel pressured to keep talking or doing things
-Everyone else and the world seem like in slow motion
-Do you have other symptoms like inability to sleep, distractability, hypersexuality etc, etcjust a things that may give you a clue if you are wondering if you have 'highs'.

before i took meds , i was that man exactly, but now stunned by benzo,s addiction an citalapram my ad// it is slowed down to managable speed,// i was put on lithium for 6 weeks years ago // but at that time was in depression an no results from it at all.///i think a lot of meds dont work for me because no one is sure of the illness,// so i tend to wing it with the shrinks// they say manic you have tried near on all the meds on the nhs rota, not very helpful in england but its all i have
