It sounds like my most recent Mixed episode. And the fact that you went off one of your meds makes it even more likely that it has something to do with your bipolar. It most certainly is NOT a character flaw, though. Everyone is flawed, but not everyone has mood episodes like the one you've described. I'm glad you're restarting the Saphris.
And I also think you shouldn't see that guy. I've got a bad feeling about that. What the hell is he doing, trolling for female companionship online in the middle of the night? (For that matter, YOU don't need to be online in the middle of the night---you and I are both nurses who know that it's a bad thing for people like us who need a sleep schedule to help us remain stable.) This creeps me out.....like the other posters said, you may wish to reconsider meeting him.
