Poor judgement and impulsive plans are part of mania. Those symptoms are ones I get in mania, but you don't sound manic. I know you just went off Saphris, right? Could you be mixed?

The manic episode right before my diagnosis, I found several casual hookups, made plans with one of them, but the episode turned mixed before the plans happened so I panicked and texted them to cancel, and they got very angry and sent me threatening texts for a while. I was also quite reckless, wandering the city at all hours of the night, walking 30 minutes to a 24 hour grocery store at 4 AM for 1 apple, drinking alone at bars and trying to get the bartender to take me home. I was definitely drug seeking at this point too.

Even if it's not an episode, it could be Saphris withdrawal. When I went off of it I couldn't sleep for about a week, had to add ativan for a short time, and I really felt like things were meaningless. It cleared.

Underneath this skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
I think that I'm still human
Thanks for this!
