Even if you feel a little hypo, roll with it. There is nothing wrong with feeling good or being productive. Who cares how it was achieved! It is you who feels good and your experience is valid. Once you start characterizing every mood, it makes it hard to see it as something organic. You start second guessing emotions because youre concerned its the illness and not you. I was hyper vigilant for a long time and didnt believe I was capable of being the same person. It takes time to realize you are still capable of being you. A therapist can help. Are you seeing one now? I remember you said you can see one around this time.
I can see a therapist now... but I don't want to. I keep thinking that my wife will be mad cuz of the money. She might not, but I think inside she is resentful that I require so much money now. I never used to spend money on anything other than cigarettes... didn't buy myself much at all and now it takes a lot of money for me to stay where I am at now.
