Mood shifts are very difficult to sort out sometimes, even for those of us who've been at this a while! He could just be having a good day, or he could be rapid cycling and ramping into a hypomania. Some things to watch for: how many hours did he sleep last night? Is he starting lots of projects or making big plans today? How fast is he talking? Most people don't just wake up and shoot straight into a full-blown manic episode. You should have a couple of days at least to watch and see if it gets worse. So, I would say, be watchful but not hypervigilant.

I read your earlier post and it looks like you've gotten some really good advice. Every person with bipolar disorder is different and it will take some time to become familiar with the way his illness presents itself. Just try to keep in mind that he will still have a range of "normal" moods - good and bad days - like everyone else.

The most important thing is to just be there for him and continue being the fantastic mom you've been. He's very lucky to have you.
