I don't need to call my pdoc, I'm bp II, don't go full blown manic. In the past seems like my elevated states only last 4-7 days. This one hit pretty fast and intense so that's why I wondered about stress. I'm on 75mg lamictal and that's the only med I take. Most of the time I'm depressed. My last elevated episode was in mid August. I'm only recently diagnosed, so still doing the mood charting to look for patterns.
I'm just kind of shocked that I've been doing so much on so little sleep. Usually if I don't get at least 7 hours a night I can't function, but I've had 5 in 44 hours and I'm still going. I've been up for 28 hours straight now. Totally weird. Anyways, my husband will keep an eye on me and let my T know if he is worried at any point. For now guess I just keep going until I crash. Got a hell of a lot done though!
