Oh, honey, you are singing my song. ((((HUGS))))
I just came off a blissful 2 1/2-months of remission. It was SO awesome that a couple of weeks ago I started thinking that maybe I wasn't BP after all. Should've know I was ramping up when that happened. Anyway, even though I've stayed on my meds, I am full-on hypomanic and pissed off about it, even though I love the energy and flow of life in this state.
I know I have to call my pdoc tomorrow and admit that I've been like this for awhile, and he HATES it when I wait to call. But not everything is hypo/mania, and I thought maybe (STUPIDLY) it would go away on its own. It almost did, then I had a couple of really stimulating days and now I'm dancing on the moon again.
I am beyond frustrated. I was doing SO well. I don't want to take more meds than I'm already on. I don't want to have to fit more meds into my budget. This is what I get for getting ahead of myself and thinking I was just have a two-year-long existential crisis.
