has anyone ever just described the feelings of hypo and depression?
in an effort to understand it?

that's what this board is for, right? support and understanding to better deal with it?

for me, the hypo starts like an adrenaline rush. tingling over my whole body, a sense of well being. almost like I was powerful. it gets my brain working in overdrive. suddenly, the impossible seemed not only possible, but I could easily tell someone step by step how to do it! I can't sit still when it happens. I HAVE TO act on it. the tingling is short lived, only exists in the beginning.

I am one that gets agitated and angry when I get hypo. people just seem to get in my way with all the advice of me doing too much and telling me that I am acting differently. that I should sleep more. that I should eat.

I get resentful of those around me, like they are holding me back.

I get myself overwhelmed too, with my new found knowledge of everything and I try harder and harder, just to fail at everything that I started doing.

I would try and take things further and further than what I originally planned. there is no limit to how far I take things when I get that way. A desperation almost, to do just that.

It always ends up in a big mess, at least it used to.

the biggest key to me learning to handle my hypo.... was not to fight the hypo at all. nope, I just accept that I know what's happening and put it out of my mind the best I can. I know that there is nothing I can do about it. no, the key for me is to handle the desperate feeling of needing to push things more and more. I have learned to deal with those desperate feelings and that has made all the difference in the world. now, when I get hypo, I don't take everything to the extreme, and therefore I co exist with the world around me a lot better. my symptoms don't show much, so I don't have to deal with the people around me about it hardly at all. I just say that I am going through normal emotions and by doing so, I am left alone to deal with it alone, staying within my comfort zone and not resenting those around me for exposing it.

maybe this can help others?

or am I out of line?
