It's only when I feel out of control with my emotions that I'm introuble. But that's also true when I'm depressed or mixed state! Best of luck!!
I already suffered the impulsivity spending last weekend. Went from having a little extra spending money this month to hardly anything. I thought I was over it until I woke up this morning and now all I want to do is move and do! I like the feeling and I don't currently mind the lack of sleep. My sister just joked she'll know when I go hypo from now on because it's the only time my room gets 'deep cleaned'. I have noticed that I get more impatient, especially while driving. I figured if hypo was so concerning, all the MH Professionals I speak with would not find my attitude so amusing. Lol!

The coming down doesn't worry me right now, though I know that's probably going to happen. But being in group all day twice a week and individual therapy at least once a week, it isn't as if I'm not being monitored.
