I was either manic or hypomanic pretty much all summer this year. I thought it was better than depression, but apparently my family, co-workers, boss, and doctor disagreed with me on that one. LOL

I'm steady now, have been for several weeks. This is definitely better than either mania or depression! Sleep is getting to be a problem again, though, so I'm going to have to see my pdoc about better medication. I was on Zyprexa, which worked beautifully for me in that area (and kept the mania under reasonable control), but I gained 22 lbs. I couldn't afford and my blood sugars went out of control, so I had to come off it. It was replaced with melatonin, which helps me go to sleep quicker but I can't stay asleep, and I wake up too early on top of it. AARRRGH!
