I want the mania back! I am Soooo irritable. I get angry over nothing. I am tired, but up at the same time.
He told me that he will take me out of work if I start biting everyone's heads off.
I just don't know what to do. I want to cry out of frustration, but I want to laugh because this bipolar BS is just so ridiculous. GRRR
Recently, I went from weeks of hypomania into dysphoric mania- irritable, angry, no filter on my mouth, nervous, disorganized thoughts, forgetful, couldn't stand loud noises, etc....but I am stable now.

It was absolutely horrible...I sympathize with you. Did Pdoc change meds at all?

My advice is decrease all stimulation- noises, activities, conversations need to be quite and not controversial. And rest, if you can, while doing something like a jig saw puzzle to occupy your mind.
