Yup I'm on the dypshoric mania train as well. Didn't used to be when I was younger either. Well maybe some but not every manic episode. Now that's all I get. I don't really understand what turns a persons mania like this. For me it happened at the same time I started medication treatment with lithium. Lithium has been my only constant medication that I haven't switched around as it's been 7 years of this dysphoria. Not liking it one bit.

Completely understand Dark Heart, do you know when this switched for you? I'm really curious to what causes this, if anything, maybe it's the natural progression, have no idea.
