Thanks to you all! I think I'll keep a mood journal and let my psychologist or psychiatrist try to figure out triggers, because right now I feel overwhelmed. This is all new to me. I do avoid alcohol and try to sleep, but it depends on which part of the rollercoaster I'm on at the time. I've found that the day after a particularly rapid set of cycles is usually mostly one or the other for a few days. Then it starts slowly and here we go again.

I did read your post OMG, psychotic and laughed MAO. My husband always asks me how much of my symptoms I'm aware of and it is nice to know that if appliances start talking to me that I am likely to know that they really can't talk, but it might be interesting to have a conversation with it.....

Today I'm ok right now, but didn't sleep much last night, so I expect that once I get working on something I will be manic or depressed. At least if I'm depressed I can catch up on my sleep.

This is a bizarre disease.
