Here's what I get like when my mood rises:
- high energy, restless feeling
- racing thoughts
- hypersexuality
- overconfidence
- carelessness, not thinking about consequences (sometimes)
- irritability
- anxiety
I've been tracking my mood since November, I'm using an app on my iPhone. My mood's been pretty erratic, it turns out, but what really concerns me is the fact that when my mood gets really high, I almost always crash shortly after.

Yup, my bf's been telling me the same. I'm trying to remind myself of this but right now I'm feeling a whole lot of "oh **** what's going to happen now?"
I'm especially frustrated because I feel like my body has always failed me. I've had a number of different physical health problems, and now mental health issues too. In fact, I can't remember a time in my life where I
haven't had some sort of health issue to deal with, and I want some peace on this front!
*sigh...* thanks for letting me vent here.

Thanks so much! I'm so glad I have people to talk to that can relate. I hate feeling alone, and lately I've been feeling a lot of alone. I have my bf to talk to, but he's never had to deal with any sort of thing like this.
