Yesterday, I was sure I had crashed into a depressive episode. I'd been hypomanic all week, and particularly jittery the day before yesterday, but suddenly woke up feeling lethargic and a bit on edge. I spent hours calling various clinics (still in search of a psychiatrist - although I think I may have finally landed myself an appointment for next month) and found myself breaking down constantly, crying, feeling hopeless, etc. That lasted all day. I woke up feeling highly energetic and motivated again, as if none of that had happened, continued with my psychiatrist search, and all was well. I guess depressive symptoms can be mixed into hypomania along with the irritability, from what my counselor told me. I'm still new to keeping track of my mood. Does this happen to anyone else too? Maybe my hypomania simply further intensified my already-existent frustration at not being able to find a psychiatrist the second I wanted one. For all I know, these short moments of depression could have been mixed into my hypomanic episodes all of this time for years, and I've just never realized it before since I only recently started keeping track of my mood. On another note, I did a ton of cleaning and took a nice (fast) walk down to my pharmacy today, smiling the whole way. People looked at me weirdly, but I didn't care! lol
