I had manic episode. ( 2 weeks in bed )

2 weeks on current cocktail.

Irritability: through the roof - i am scared my sharp tongue is going to cost me my job. As a rule I am sarcastic and witty - and my staff would laugh. Lately, my normal grace has abandoned me, and they are shocked!

Anxiety attacks : 2-4 per day - full blown

I lock myself in my office and try to do all correspondence through emails.

I realise these meds needs about 6 weeks to kick in - no patience

Hitting the gym tomorrow- hope to work out some of these feelings
I am also watching my diet carefully - due to weight gain from the meds.

I have had bi-polar since I was 13. with distinctive manic episodes in 10 yrs intervals - this one definitely the worst.

the first two times the meds worked almost instantly. i should never have stopped with the epilim....

so we learn
