But I slept like a log last night and feel positive about today.....I just need to REMEMBER to stay in the same cycle. Sometimes, it really comes down to me sort of forgetting.

Every time I'm busy and I forget to take my meds on time, I panic and start counting hours that are left before I have to get up and go to work. The paranoia that comes with mania sucks. I slept for 8 hours last night -- unheard of, but nice.
