Thank you both for your replies.

He agreed with hypomania—noticed I was fidgety and had "pressured speech." He advised me to do all I can to keep going to bed at the same time. Sleep is my #1 trigger. He also said to cut out all stimulants, even the tiny amount of caffeine I'm consuming and to avoid any over-stimulating situations.

I didn't sleep much last night. My head hit the pillow and my brain wouldn't shut up. I'm trying to decide what to do. I should probably call a doctor right now, but I'm in pdoc limbo right now. Getting a new one, and I haven't had my appointment with her yet. I might get lucky and be exhausted enough to sleep tonight, but I feel wide awake now!

Grr. If only I knew this wouldn't turn into mania. What I really want to do is enjoy this. Got to be careful, though...
